from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
Immensely talented when he patrolled the wing in the NHL, Mogilny seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth after his stellar career ended. He wasn’t the type that would want to hang around NHL rinks in his retirement. But we tracked him down nonetheless.
“Hold on for a second. I’m parking my car, picking up the kids at school,” Mogilny told ESPN.com on Wednesday.
That’s half of the new life right there. Daddy Mogilny.
“I’m helping out a team in Russia and, otherwise, just being a father and helping to raise my kids,” Mogilny said. “I go back and forth quite a bit, but I live in Florida [Miami]. That’s where we retired. I travel a lot, spend quite a bit of time in Russia during the season.”

A KK reader passed this along to me…
The “Amur Tigers” played a very unusual game - taking on a prisoners’ hockey team of Zaozernoe Prison (№13). Khabarovsk Alumni (Amur Tigers) players won the game 5-3.
The prisoners prepared the ice surface and the idea of playing this game belongs to the prison’s priest (Father Oleg) who also was on the Tigers’ roster.
One of those who took the face-off against murderers, rapists, robbers and assorted other social deviants was Alexander Mogilny.
View some great pictures a this site and note the site is in Russian. The blog belongs to a TV journalist who participated in the game, playing for the Tigers.
