Andrei Kuzmenko will soon begin his second season in a Vancouver Canucks uniform and he has decided to change one thing in particular: his diet.
In comments relayed by the Sportsnet network, the 27-year-old striker admitted to having succumbed to big cravings last year. His physical form was so poor that during the season he had to do a special program on a bike or in the gym to keep up.

“Last season was very bad for me, my weight,” Kuzmenko said. Now I’m losing weight. Last summer I [mangé] lots of waffles.”
On these famous waffles, Kuzmenko added Nutella, raspberries and bananas. However, this type of gap seems well and truly behind him.
“I needed to have a good summer because it changes [comment je] prepare for the season. I’m working on my balance, yes. Skating was a bit difficult for me [l’année dernière]. When I stopped, I changed sides and on the balance side, it was a little tight and I went down. So I’m working on balance. I’m working on my…what’s the word for food?,” he said.
As a reminder, Kuzmenko signed a two-season contract on January 26 with the Vancouver team. During his first campaign in the National Hockey League (NHL), the winger scored 39 goals and 35 assists for 74 points in 81 games.
As it turns out, his poor nutrition didn’t slow him down.
