Gudlevsky is currently in Sweden, where he is conducting a pre-season training camp for the second-ranked “Allsvenskan” championship team “MoDo” of Örnsköldsvik.
Kristers says that he started playing hockey quite by accident, at the invitation of his floorball coach and sports teacher Ivars Mālins. Gudlevsky offered to be a goalkeeper, providing shape and half the monthly fee for training.
“It was fate. There was no real choice. I was just happy to be in hockey. I never thought I would ever play anywhere,” Christer recalled.
The goalie already knew as a child that he would play at least one match in the National Hockey League (NHL) in the future. He cannot explain this feeling at the moment, but it was definitely there.
“You could just taste it. I probably told myself that,” said Gudlevsky.
The hockey player considers his debut in the NHL to be both the happiest and the saddest moment in his career. Because at that time I realized that the so much glorified dream does not change the whole world, nor does it bring endless euphoria. That’s why Krister doesn’t set huge goals for himself at the moment.
In a conversation with Kristera Gudlevski also about what the term “playing guilty” means (to play with a feeling of guilt – translation from English), why in his junior years Leonid Tambijev allowed him to rant in training, which made the coaches in America see him as psychologically unstable, as well as fail without the legendary rubric “Fast Five”.
