Salavat Yulaev Forward Danil Alalykin compares hockey’s adrenaline to school and university exams.
The 25-year-old was asked whether hockey adrenaline compares to anything else in ordinary life, and said much depends on whether the emotions are positive or negative — scoring a goal feels different from a mistake that costs the team.
Asked about NHL contracts, which typically ban extreme sports such as skiing and snowboarding, he said skiing or riding a motorcycle during the season would be reckless, since a player risks an injury that would sideline him.
