He kritade on a two year contract with Frölunda in the season, and he is amazed at the quality that SHL holds.
” I knew that the SHL is a great league but I was still surprised when I started to play matches. The league is very impressive to me personally. I was surprised how fast it goes and how well trained all the players are in the SHL, says Chay Genoway.
The 176-centimeter-long, the hill has adapted well in the SHL.
” well I’m a bit petite as the back but I use my legs much in the defensive zone in order to be on the right side of the opponent. I try to play simply and fast.
As a player, he is often involved in anfallszon which has paid off during the season with nine goals and 16 assists, four goals and one assist in the playoffs.
” I think that I have played and produced well offensively although I was a bit lazy during the first half of the season. But it has become better during the season and I have found a way to help the team in attack. In the playoffs, things have gone my way simply. We play well in both parts of the plan.
his style of play often involved in seizures and in the powerplay looks Chay Genoway as a trend.
” If you look at the game in the NHL, it is much more slopes in each of the teams that can offer the qualities on the offensive. I think it is new, to be able to be solid defensively but also help offensively with points. I think it has something to do with the new rules where you do not get to keep the player, hook them or hold down the opponents like the great backs did in the past.
– Now is the time to use the skates, and if you end up out of position, you must have a expulsion. It has become more based on skating, and it has created a new exciting game, both in north America but also here.
He thinks that more people should take the leap from north America to Europe to develop.
– To get over here to Europe on a larger rink provides an opportunity to create a little more offensively as the back because there is more space. Players who are offensivare in north America and who have come here have done it well, it’s probably a trend. Then there are, of course, also defensive backs, who also have come here and done it well.
on the larger ishockeyrinkarna in Europe more than the game on the small in north America.
– Here it is a little more, to stand out and try to make more breakthrough, it is the game I prefer. Where is the different game with the smaller rinks and I think there is a little less creative games and the dumped deep more often. There was a lot about play riskminimerat.
Chay Genoway has previously routine from the games in the KHL, where he made over 200 appearances in clubs like Lada Togliatti, Jokerit, Spartak Moscow and Dinamo Riga. He has also played for a number of AHL clubs.
– The Russian league has a little more controlling games at the same time as the SHL is full speed ahead and with high pressure in order to early stop the opponents attack. There is not the same time but things are happening quickly and all the time. There is no time to rest out on the pitch, ” says 32–year-old.
” I would not say that I changed a lot but of course I had to find a different type of game and role. It also depends on which team you play in, but here in Brisbane we have a special system where the coaches challenge and try to develop us. It applies to mostly the defensive game which has been useful and very positive for me as a hockey player.
Chay Genoway thrive in Frölunda in Gothenburg as a city.
– Frölunda are of high quality and I am very happy here. It is nice to know that I am a 32–year-old can still develop. We are working every day to be better so it has so far been a great experience and experience.

Several of the players have a lot of experience of the playoffs and has won titles in the past. Hopefully we can take advantage of it and our chances are good.
