MOSCOW, Oct 1, Andrey Senchenko. Forward of the Yaroslavl hockey club Lokomotiv Ivan Chekhovich said in an interview that living in California (USA) is expensive. In 2017, the Russian forward was selected by the San Jose Sharks club in the seventh round of the National Hockey League (NHL) draft under the general 212th number. As part of the “sharks”, Chekhovich played 4 matches. “The first thing that comes to mind about life in California is expensive. There are high taxes. I couldn’t afford to go to the cafe once again, I had to cook food at home. I lived in the same apartment with Danil Yurtaykin, the rent was divided in half, but there was still almost no money left. Monthly rent of housing in total cost about three thousand dollars. But the weather is cool there, the ocean is close. Did the locals recognize me? No. We walked with the same Kolya Knyzhov, who spent a whole season in the NHL for the Sharks, but still they didn’t recognize,” Chekhovich said.
