Watt enjoying second season
in Russian hockey league
By Jason Middleton
Expositor Staff
When he first arrived in
Russia last year to play in a
Russian pro hockey league,
Egmondville native Mike
Watt had to deal with a huge
culture shock.
Now, a year later, Watt said
he's a little more comfortable
with the Russian culture and
can even have a conversation
in the language.
When Watt arrived in
Russia to play for Ska St.
Petersburg (otherwise known
as the Russian Red Army), he
was surprised to learn that
they have 20 to 21 hours of
day light otherwise known as
"white night."
Watt said it was a huge
adjustment for him because
of the time change and trying
to fall asleep.
"The first three days I was
completely miserable and I
wanted to go home," Watt
said.
Then Watt went out with
his teammates and realized
many of them spoke English.
Although he's not fluent in
Russian, Watt said that
people appreciate it when he
attempts to speak the
language.
He said that he's better at
understanding Russian than
he is at speaking it, but Watt
knows enough to
get around.
He said that in
Russia he "doesn't
hear English at all,
it's basically
Russian. When I
come home in the
summertime, I'm
answering
questions in
Russian because I
totally forget where I'm at."
In his career, Watt has
played on several American
hockey leagues and has
played 157 games in the
NHL on teams like the
Edmonton Oilers, Nashville
Predators and Carolina
Hurricanes.
Last year Watt and his
agent 'decided that Europe
might be a good place to play
for the next couple seasons
because of lockout rumours
and a shoulder injury he was
dealing with.
Offers from Sweden,
Mike Watt
Finland and Germany were
on the table for the former
NHL player. But, Watt
decided on Russia after
some careful
deliberation with his
wife, Nikkole.
Watt agreed to play
in Russia and decided
that he would give it a
month to see if he liked
playing there.
"We just decided and
said
`Let's see
what
happens',"
Watt said.
With the
NHL lockout
underway,
Watt said that
there is at
least one
player from
the. NHL on
each of the
teams in his
league the the
Russian Super

said Watt.
"The way games and the
breaks are spaced, it's kind of
hard to get into a groove or a
rhythm because you have to
sit out games," he said.
The import rule was formed
by the league so that Russian
players could make up a
majority of the league.
Seaforth native Dave
McLlwain who plays with the
Cologne Sharks in the
German
Hockey
League said
that the
lockout is
taking away
spots on the
teams from
guys who need
to play hockey
to make a
living.
"I don't
really agree
with all these
guys coming
over here,"
Quoted
'When I come
home in the
summertime,
I'm answering
questions in
Russian because
I totally forget
where I'm at,' -
Mike Watt
League.
Under Russian league rules,
each team can only have four
foreign players and can only
have three "imports" in their
line-up at a time.
On his team, Watt said,
New York Islanders' player
Michael Nylander is
currently filling one of their
four import spots.
"With the four imports, it's
not a very good experience
because you have to rotate,"
said
McLlwain. "If they're that
much behind their union I
think they should be over
there behind the union. Not
taking from guys who wanted
to play over here," McLlwain
said.
"It's taking away from guys
who need this money to make
a living," he said.
On his team, McLlwain
said, there are no players
from the NHL.
