Alexander Yakushev

Alexander Yakushev

Alexander Sergeyevich Yakushev ( _ru. Александр Сергеевич Якушев) (born January 2, 1947) was an ice hockey player for the Soviet Union.

Born in Moscow, Russia, Alexander Yakushev is best known to North American hockey fans as one of the stars for the Soviet Team that played Team Canada in the famous 1972 Summit Series. His style of play was atypical of his colleagues who were fast and skilled; he was often described as the equivalent of Canada's Phil Esposito. Although often overshadowed by his famous teammate Valeri Kharlamov, by the end of the Summit Series, Yakushev lead the Soviets in scoring with 7 goals and 4 assists for 11 points.

After retiring from hockey, Yakushev coached Spartak Moscow and, briefly, Team USSR.
