In 1941, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) appointed a committee to write a history of hockey in Canada, led by James T. Sutherland, including W. A. Hewitt and Quebec hockey executive George Slater.[1][2] In 1943, the committee concluded that hockey had been played in Canada since 1855, and that Kingston and Halifax had equal claims to be the birthplace of hockey, since both cities hosted games played by the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment. The report also stated that Kingston had the first recognized hockey league in 1885, which merged into the Ontario Hockey Association in 1890.[3][4] A delegation from Kingston then went to the CAHA general meeting in 1943, and was endorsed to establish a Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston.[2]

In September 1943, Hewitt was named to the board of directors for selecting inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and sought recommendations by sportswriters from The Canadian Press and the Associated Press.[5] He was named chairman and secretary of the board of governors in 1944,[6] and the CAHA agreed to donate 25 per cent of its profits from the 1945–46 season to help erect a building for the hall of fame.[7] In May 1945, Hewitt announced that nine players were the first group of inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame.[8] In October 1945, a special committee chosen by the board of governors named six "builders of hockey" to be added to the inaugural group of inductees.[9]

The Hockey Hall of Fame committee was incorporated in 1948, and elected an additional seven to its board of governors to give representation to a broader area.[10] Hewitt remained on the board of governors until 1950.[11] By September 1955, a building for the hall of fame had not been constructed in Kingston, when a group of businessmen from Toronto were given approval for a hall of fame building which opened at Exhibition Place in Toronto in 1961. A separate International Hockey Hall of Fame later opened in Kingston in 1965.[2]

Market participants call Brezvin a creature of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.

  • Since graduating from the Kyiv Institute of National Economy in 1981, he worked as a senior economist in the state revenue department of the executive committee of the Kyiv City Council of People's Deputies.

The level of overdue loans is about 40%, important tasks is to ensure its repayment. Two strategic approaches to the development of Ukrgasbank were formed: the concept of overcoming the crisis for the current year and the concept of development of the universal bank for the period 2010-2012. By the end of this year, we set ourselves the task of directing all efforts to work with the corporate segment in such sectors as energy, metallurgy, and the food industry. We plan to expand the base of individual clients who will be offered not only payroll projects, but also a number of other services. Now we are actively working on improving distribution channels, introducing electronic kiosks for the sale of banking products.[7]

Ice hockey career

[edit]
  • From December 8, 2006 to December 18, 2020, he was President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine.[1]
  • Under his leadership the country built or revitalized 20 indoor arenas and developed its hockey program internationally by hosting IIHF events, and domestically with the creation of grassroots for the game. Brezvin continued hockey's role in the community during the current war-torn years.[8]
  • Under the leadership of Brezvin, about 20 indoor arenas have been built or restored in Ukraine, 17 world championships have been held in different age categories.[9]
  • President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine, Brezvin created a strategy to build 60 new arenas across each region of Ukraine. Some eleven of those facilities were modern, indoor rinks in the Kiev and Donetsk regions, while nine others were built through the private sector. Commensurate with these efforts, Ukraine hosted several important IIHF events, notably the 2011 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships Division 1-B, and 2013 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships Division 1-B, as well as several junior level events. But Brezvin well knew the growth of the game depended on the lower levels and grassroots programs. To that end, he established the Ukrainian Cup/Ukrainian Federation Cup tournament as well as a national youth championship, both of which helped to establish and build a foundation for the next generation of talent. Brezvin entered the Ukraine women's national ice hockey team into the IIHF World Women's Championship program while simultaneously creating a Ukrainian women's championship. After 2020, Brezvin became an Honourary President, playing a role in ensuring the safety of more than 2,500 players in 2022 during the Russian invasion.[2]
  • Brezvin presented skates, helmets and protective equipment to the young pupils of the Youth Sports School No. 2 "Sparta". Thanks to such gifts, playing with the puck will become more comfortable and safer. Brezvin noted that in recent years, a great history of Volyn hockey has been formed, because the pupils of the region are already performing at a high level. "The Ice Hockey Federation has established partnerships with several international organizations that help us with equipment and inventory." said Brezvin. Under his chairmanship, in 2007, the target program "Ice Hockey" was adopted, as a result of which 11 ice arenas were built in Ukraine. The list was supposed to be supplemented with dozens of new sites, but the plans had to be postponed due to the beginning of Russian armed aggression. He also started women's ice hockey in Ukraine. Since December 2020, Brezvin has been elected honorary president of the Ice Hockey Federation.[3]
Palace of Sports, Kyiv, in 2017
  • In 2012, the 5-year cycle of the state target program "Hockey of Ukraine" is coming to an end. But it is already clear that it was not possible to fulfill even half of what was promised. As part of the program, 60 ice arenas were to be built. According to Brezvin, in fact we have 12 "new buildings" (at the same time, five arenas are still in the process of construction), and two reconstructions - in the Donetsk "Druzhba" and in Zaporozhye (and also still unfinished). That is why at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers it was decided to extend the implementation of the program for another four years - until the end of 2016. The President of the FHU acknowledged the acute shortage of ice in Kyiv, where, thanks to the "Hockey of Ukraine" program, you can only boast of a stadium on Shalette Street. Brezvin promises the capital four more ice arenas in the next year and a half. According to him, On the territory of the NSC "Olimpiyskiy" instead of the demolished on the eve of Euro 2012 arena "Ldinka" will be built. In total, Kyiv should receive 10 "ice stadiums".[10]
  • 67 Ukrainian hockey players, including members of the Ukraine national team and players in the National Hockey League, signed a collective letter addressed to the President of Ukraine, Prime Minister, and the head of the Ukraine National Olympic Committee. In the letter, the signatories called on the leadership of the state and Ukrainian sports to pay attention to the problems of Ukrainian hockey and, in particular, to the activities of the President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine Anatoly Brezvin. In particular, the document states that due to the inaction of Brezvin, the reconstruction of the country's main hockey arena - the Avangard sports complex in Kiev. In addition, the signatories also attribute the regression of the national team from the top division of the World Cup to the third strongest echelon. The "Target Program for the Development of Hockey" adopted in 2007 does not work, the letter says. "There is no trust in the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine among hockey players and the hockey community," the letter says, which ends with a request to the addressees for a meeting at which Problems can be discussed in detail.[11]
  • Brezvin decided not to run for a new term as president at the general meeting on December 18, 2020. It should be noted that in the fall of 2020, 67 hockey veterans wrote a letter to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and the head of the NOC of Ukraine Serhiy Bubka, the essence of which was to misunderstand the policy of the current president of the FHU Anatoly Brezvin, and how the organization under his leadership has been regressing for 14 years.[12]
  • Channel 24 reports, Brezvin did not work for the benefit of Ukrainian sports, as head Ukrainian hockey. After leaving office, Brezvin did not sit idle. According to Maksym Shypovsky, there is a return of pro-Russian revenge in Ukrainian hockey, the Council of the Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine includes persons who are supporters of separatism, pro-Russian narratives. These actions are aimed at returning Ukrainian figures who were associated with the government of Mykola Azarov, and Russian agents, to senior positions in Ukrainian hockey. Brezvin, unreasonably disrupted the congress of the FHU (June 7, 2024). This congress was very important for the development of Ukrainian hockey in the future, which had to break away from the influence of hostile Russia once and for all. As it seems, the process of returning the pro-Russian direction of development is directly led by the former head of the Brezvin. Brezvin is reportedly closely related to Russians Vyacheslav Fetisov and Vladislav Tretyak. Brezvin's reported pro-Russianism, in 2008, he independently appointed new vice-presidents of the federation. Their term expired at the end of October 2013.[13]
  • On 14 September 2011, a press conference will be held dedicated to the start of the Ukrainian Hockey Championship - the championship of the Professional Hockey League. Brezvin and the General Director of the PHL will sign an agreement according to which the league will receive the rights to host the national championship.[14]
  • Interview with Brezvin, after the performance of the Ukraine men's national ice hockey team at the 2015 IIHF World Championship Division I, relegation to the third level division: "I would like to discuss the situation in our hockey at a round table with specialists, experts, fans, and only then at the Executive Committee of the FHU to come up with some decision on this issue. There are veterans, and there are young people, and there is practically no "golden mean" left, we lacked five or seven qualified performers to stay in our division. He felt some of the best Ukrainian players were playing in professional leagues operating at the same time as the World Championship. He noted that the 2014 war with Russia, aborted an attempt to give naturalized-citizen status to Russian players in Ukraine, and disrupted development of the Ukraine men's national junior ice hockey team. According to this hockey development program, 60 ice rinks were to be built in Ukraine by 2017, each of which was supposed to become a base for the development of sports in the region. By the beginning of 2014, 11 rinks were built under this program, and the 12th in Sevastopol was at the final stage of construction. He felt that deespite the war, the government needs to take an example from private investors who, despite the current difficulties, continue to invest in hockey.[15]
  • Anatoly Brezvin: I do not consider the performance of our national team at the 2008 IIHF World Championship Division I in Japan to be a failure, where it took only second place in Group B. Brezvin stated that the UHF paid a lot of attention to children's and youth hockey, but it takes us five to seven years to return to a high level of work of the Youth Sports School, The situation is the same with the national team. According to Brezvin, Ukraine has every opportunity to host the championship of the first division next year. But this requires the support of the state — in particular, we are going to talk about this topic with the President of Ukraine. "In fact, we have a lot of businessmen who are ready to financially support children's and youth sports. But the main problem is the lack of ice on which children could play hockey. Therefore, in the coming years, we will focus on this problem - we hope to open 60 skating rinks within the framework of the state program. If this can be implemented, we can say that the FHU has fulfilled its task." The blame for the four skating rinks promised to put into operation last year, are still not working– The problem sometimes lies in the allocation of land plots, which is done by city councils and mayors of the cities where these skating rinks are built. Sometimes when cities do not have enough public funds, but they do not attract investors either.[16]
