Drozdetsky Latest International Legend Added

You'll notice the title of this website is Legends of Hockey, not Legends of the National Hockey League. I'm very much interested in learning, researching and remembering players from outside of the NHL, namely international players.

The latest addition is Nikolai Drozdetsky, bringing my humble collection to just 20 profiles. Drozdetsky is one of 7 Soviet superstars featured. The others include:

	Vsevolod Bobrov - The original Russian Rocket was the first Soviet hockey superstar. He was often compared to Canada's Maurice "Rocket" Richard.
	Nikolai Drozdetsky - Nikolai Drozdetsky was the next great Soviet star. He was named player of the year 1984, and was instrumental in the 1984 Olympics. But coach Viktor Tikhonov buried him.
	Viacheslav Fetisov - Viacheslav Fetisov will always be remembered as a warrior - on the ice and off of it.
	Edward Ivanov - Alexander Ragulin's versatile defensive partner in the 1960s, Ivanov was the only defenseman to be named the top forward in Olympic hockey history.

	Boris Mikhailov - Centering Valeri Kharlamov and Vladimir Petrov, this Soviet national team captain was the heart and soul of arguably the greatest team ever assembled.
	Nikolai Sologubov - With the possible exception of Viacheslav Fetisov, Russia's first great defensemen, Nikolai Sologubov, ranks as the greatest in the minds of many.
	Vladislav Tretiak - Vladislav Tretiak is one of the greatest hockey heroes, not just in Russia but also in Canada and all around the world.

I am painfully aware that I'm missing many Soviets greats still, including Sergei Makarov who I think is perhaps the quietest over sight in Hockey Hall of Fame balloting this decade. Until I do get a profile done on Makarov that I consider to be satisfactory as a bare minimum, I want to direct you to Georg Samoilov's Sergei Makarov Fan Page. This site is one of the best kept secrets in terms of hockey websites.
