Andrei Lavrov has been a Development Coach with EC Red Bull in Salzburg, Austria for nearly seven years. The former Red Bull Crashed Ice athlete grew up in a hockey family and his resume reflects a passion for hockey. After working as the GM of Lavrov Ice School in Russia in 2010, Lavrov was a Development Coach with Okanagan Hockey Europe before doing the same job, and also working in analytics, for the Russian Ice Hockey Federation. He then joined EC Red Bull in his current role, which also include analytics work.

“I’m not sure I’ve met a coach who has analysed skating mechanics to the extent that Andrei has,” said Aaron Wilbur, Founder of The Coaches Site. “While it’s arguably the most important skill in hockey, it’s also likely the most misunderstood from a technical perspective. Andrei has a lot to offer. His presentation is can’t miss.”
