29th August 2026

D'Beaufort Knights freeën sech, de Boris Kolyasnikov fir déi kommend Saison 2026/27 am Veräin begréissen ze kënnen.

De Kolyasnikov bréngt vill Erfarung aus dem belschen Hockey mat. Hien huet fir Mechelen a Leuven gespillt an huet déi belsch Nationalekipp bei véier Weltmeeschterschafte vertrueden.

De Boris Kolyasnikov iwwer säi Wiessel bei d'Beaufort Knights:

Wéi fillt et sech un, bei d'Beaufort Knights ze kommen a virun de Fans ze spillen?

„Als éischt wëll ech dem Artemij an dem Andrei e grousse Merci soen. Ech war wärend dem ganze Prozess, fir bei Beaufort Knights ze kommen, mat hinnen a Kontakt. Si sinn allen zwee super Leit. Natierlech och e besonnesche Merci un de Claude an de Benny fir all hir Hëllef, fir dëst méiglech ze maachen.

Ech freeë mech immens drop, all d’Spiller, Traineren, Staff an natierlech och d’Fans kennenzeléieren. Ech hunn héieren, datt Beaufort déi bescht Supporter huet, an ech kann et kaum erwaarden, dës Atmosphär selwer z'erliewen.

Ech si wierklech begeeschtert, bei de Beaufort Knights ze sinn, virun eise Fans op d’Äis ze goen an en Deel vun dësem Veräin ze ginn. Ech freeë mech op d’Saison a kann et kaum erwaarden, unzefänken!“

Op wat frees du dech am meeschte fir déi kommend Saison?

„Als éischt wëll ech, datt mir eng vereenegt Ekipp sinn, wou jidderee zesummenhält an deen aneren ënnerstëtzt. Ech wëll wierklech Trophäe gewannen, a mir wäerten alleguer haart schaffen an zesumme kämpfen, fir dat ze erreechen.“

Wat wëlls du an d’Ekipp abréngen?

„Ech hu vill Joren an der CEHL gespillt an déi belsch Nationalekipp bei véier Weltmeeschterschafte vertrueden. Ech wäert alles maachen, wat ech kann, fir meng Erfarung mat de méi jonke Spiller ze deelen an an all Match 100 Prozent fir d’Ekipp ze ginn.

Ech spille ganz gären e Passspill, an ech erwaarden dat och vun de Spiller, déi mat mir um Äis sinn. Och wann ech 37 Joer al sinn, hunn ech nach ëmmer eng drop, an ech spille ganz gäre mat menger Geschwindegkeet.

Dat Wichtegst ass awer: Ech hunn den Äishockey nach ëmmer esou gär wéi e Kand!“

Den Andrei Episov iwwert den Neizougang

Den Head Coach Andrei Episov gesäit dem Kolyasnikov seng Erfarung als eng wichteg Ergänzung fir d'Beaufort Knights.

„Hie bréngt vill Erfarung mat. Mir gleewen, datt seng Erfarung eis méi Sécherheet gëtt, eisem Kader méi Déift gëtt an hien e gutt Beispill fir eis méi jonk Spiller ka sinn. Et wäert eng haart Saison ginn, mee mir gi fokusséiert an d’Saison, mat dem Wonsch eis weider z'entwéckelen a méi staark ze ginn.“

Mat enger usprochsvoller Saison virun der Dier kréien d'Beaufort Knights domat Erfarung, Leadership an e Spiller dobäi, dee weiderhi motivéiert ass, ze konkurréieren an zu der Ekipp bäizedroen.

Wëllkomm bei de Beaufort Knights, Boris!

I’m really looking forward to meeting all the players, coaches, staff and, of course, the fans. I’ve heard that Beaufort has the best supporters, and I can’t wait to experience that atmosphere for myself.

I’m incredibly excited to join Beaufort Knights, step onto the ice in front of our fans and become part of this club. I’m really looking forward to the season and can’t wait to get started!”

I really enjoy playing a passing game, and I expect the same from the players who are on the ice with me. Even though I’m 37 years old, I still have plenty left in the tank, and I love using my speed.

Most importantly, I still love playing ice hockey like a kid!”
