Talk:Valeri Kharlamov

Untitled
Hi! A couple of things: 1. The article goes: "His only son Alexander is also a former hockey player". Wrong. He also had a daughter named Begonita (after his mother Begonia). She is married and has now two daughters of her own - Daria and Anna.

2. As for: "Does anyone know if Kharlamov had a military rank and if so what. I'm pretty sure that the soviet national team were all army members (so they could be olympians).  Since he also played for CSKA Moscow it seems very likely he did have one." He did. The members of the Soviet national team were not subscribed to the army, but those from CSKA were, since CSKA stands for Central Sports Club of the Army. Kharlamov died a major.

Upd. About this: "hi, I removed the bit about the broken nose in game six. I don't see him wearing anything over his face but I wouldn't be surprised if his nose was broken. Is there a source?"

The Canadians broke his nose in game six, but it happened in 1974, October 3. It was a Summit Series 1974's game in Moscow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.92.86.196 (talk) 12:43, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Evgeny Mishakov's nose was bloodied by Rod Gilbert in 1972 Series . I haven't found any sources claiming, that Kharlamov's nose has been broken there, therefore I believe he was confused with Mishakov. Cmapm 23:16, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That seems likely to me. Thanks for the link.

I think there's too much emphasis on what Canadians thought about Kharlamov, how he fared against Canadians. It does not even mention how many WCh the guy won. All his career was in the USSR and most of his international games were against Czechs for that matter. So I'll add some stuff about how he did there. Gaidash 6 July 2005 18:06 (UTC)

Problem with the template, he never played pro being in a comunist country. Is their any way to remove the word pro from the box about his career. - 1 December 2006 21.31 (UTC)

It was well-known at the time that the East Block "amateurs" were de facto professionals. I don't think there is much dispute any more about characterizing such players as pros. 76.66.127.35 (talk) 09:48, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Valery or Valeri?
What's the correct use? HockeyDB uses Valeri, as does LOH and HHOF. I've seen Valery used before though, I'm not really sure. RandySavageFTW (talk) 03:42, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If Hockeydb, LOH and HHOF are using 'Valeri', I'd move it there. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:02, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Even KHL uses "Valeri"; mover --Львівске (talk) 04:32, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Both are correct when translating Russian to English I believe you can use i or y interchangably if I remember a conversation on this for another player, but as above I would go with what the majority of sources use. -Djsasso (talk) 04:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

2013 film about Kharlamov
A film about Kharlamovs life and hockey career was just released in Russia. It's called Legend №17 and has been a huge hit in Russian movie theatres so far and appears to have been recieved well by Kharlamovs former teammates as well, IIHF has a piece on it here. The IMDb entry is here and the Russian movie trailer on YouTube here. Worth adding to the article?
 * It is in there now. Canada Hky (talk) 23:17, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
