How do you say "drop the puck" in Russian?

Airdrie's Zach Boychuk may know how by now since he's gone through an entire Kontinental Hockey League training camp and started the regular season on the weekend.

Boychuk is playing with HC Severstal, a team located in the city of Cherepovets, a city of over 300,000 in western Russia.  

On Sunday the team opened the season at home against Sibir.  Although Boychuck didn't factor into the scoring he did get over 11 minutes in ice time and helped his team to a 3 - 2 win.

Tomorrow, Boychuk and Severstal have another home-ice encounter when they entertain Salavat Yulaev.
