"Trus ne igraet v khokkey" (Russian: Трус не игра́ет в хокке́й, lit. No coward plays hockey) could be called the anthem of ice hockey in Soviet Union and Russia. The song was composed in 1968 by Aleksandra Pakhmutova (music), Sergei Grebennikov and Nikolai Dobronravov (lyrics - both). During this period of Soviet history, ice hockey was very popular in USSR, which is why it was not a big surprise when such a song appeared. Since then, it has been performed by many musicians - and most hockey arenas in Russia use its theme to open the game. Теги:trolololedwardkhilnocowardsplayshockeyTrusneigraetkhokkey
