March 13 marks the 65th anniversary of one of the most titled coaches in Russian hockey Zinetula Bilyaletdinov. As a player, he defended the colors of Dynamo Moscow, became the Olympic champion in the USSR national team and won six world championships. After the end of his career, the name of Bilyaletdinov became strongly associated with Ak Bars - he led Kazan three times to victories in the Gagarin Cup and another gold in the Russian championship before the appearance of the KHL. Bilyaletdinov twice led the Russian team and won the 2012 World Cup with it, but failed to win medals at the Sochi Olympics.
