Sandis Vilmanis debiju sagaid\u012bja sestdien, kad izbraukum\u0101 izc\u012bn\u012btaj\u0101 uzvar\u0101 pret Otavas “Senators” (3:2) uz ledus pavad\u012bja 11:48 min\u016btes. Viesos izdev\u0101s apsp\u0113l\u0113t ar\u012b Bufalo “Sabres” (4:3), un tre\u0161\u0101s mai\u0146as uzbruc\u0113ja sp\u0113les laiks pieauga l\u012bdz 12:03 min\u016bt\u0113m, k\u0101 ar\u012b Vilmanis izdar\u012bja divus metienus.<\/p>\n

“Neaprakst\u0101mas saj\u016btas. Ilgi nevar\u0113ju notic\u0113t, ka tas br\u012bdis ir pien\u0101cis. Pat p\u0113c sp\u0113les lik\u0101s, ka nevar b\u016bt,” tre\u0161dienas vakar\u0101 sarun\u0101 ar port\u0101lu Sportacentrs.com NHL debijas emocij\u0101s dal\u012bj\u0101s Sandis Vilmanis.<\/p>\n

Vi\u0146\u0161 gatavojies sp\u0113lei Amerikas Hokeja l\u012bgas (AHL) kluba \u0160arlotas “Checkers” rind\u0101s, kad p\u0113c sapulces iesaukts treneru istab\u0101, lai sa\u0146emtu pat\u012bkamos jaunumus. Tad iesl\u0113gts gaid\u012b\u0161anas re\u017e\u012bms. “Teica, ka vair\u0101k inform\u0101cijas nav \u2013 j\u0101pagaida 10-20 min\u016btes, kad sekos n\u0101kamie nor\u0101d\u012bjumi. Pateica, lai p\u0101r\u0123\u0113rbjos, ka \u0161odien AHL nesp\u0113l\u0113\u0161u, lai gatavojos izlidot \u0161onakt.”<\/p>\n

Vilmanim dotas divas stundas, lai sakrav\u0101tos un dotos ce\u013c\u0101 uz lidostu. Vi\u0146\u0161 izl\u0113mis visu iedz\u012bvi satilpin\u0101t mugursom\u0101, l\u012bdz ar to pirmaj\u0101 izsaukum\u0101 uz NHL l\u012bdzi pa\u0146emti tikai divi d\u017eemperi, divi krekli, divas bikses un uzvalks.<\/p>\n

Floridas “Panthers” hokejisti jau bija ieradu\u0161ies Otav\u0101, t\u0101d\u0113\u013c Vilmanim vajadz\u0113ja lidot vienam, turkl\u0101t \u2013 uz Monre\u0101lu, nevis uz Kan\u0101das galvaspils\u0113tu. “Ielidoju pusnakt\u012b. Man v\u0113l n\u016bjas neatn\u0101ca. Tad divas stundas ma\u0161\u012bn\u0101 l\u012bdz Otavas viesn\u012bcai. Gul\u0113t tiku 2:30.”<\/p>\n

Par vi\u0146a pievieno\u0161anos zin\u0101jis tikai “Panthers” treneru korpuss un apkalpojo\u0161ais person\u0101ls, ta\u010du \u2013 neviens no hokejistiem. “Neiedom\u0101jos ar\u012b Uvim [Balinskim] padot zi\u0146u. Bet vi\u0146\u0161 bija viens no pirmajiem, ko satiku brokast\u012bs.”<\/p>\n

Sa\u0146emot izsaukumu uz NHL, Vilmanis netika inform\u0113ts par “Panthers” treneru pl\u0101niem \u2013 vai vi\u0146\u0161 tiks pie debijas sp\u0113les, vai ar\u012b izsaukts, lai komanda apdro\u0161in\u0101tos pret pa\u0161u slikt\u0101ko scen\u0101riju un neb\u016btu j\u0101sp\u0113l\u0113 ar\u012b nevajadz\u012bgi \u012bsu sast\u0101vu.<\/p>\n

Treni\u0146\u0101 pirms sp\u0113les pret “Senators” latvie\u0161u uzbruc\u0113js slidoja ceturtaj\u0101 mai\u0146\u0101, ta\u010du, ierodoties uz sp\u0113li, pie sienas piespraustaj\u0101 sast\u0101v\u0101 iev\u0113rojis izmai\u0146as \u2013 Vilmanis savu uzv\u0101rdu ieraudz\u012bjis tre\u0161aj\u0101 virkn\u0113jum\u0101.<\/p>\n

“Pats nezinu, k\u0101p\u0113c t\u0101. S\u0101kum\u0101 nesapratu. Bet nojau\u0161u, ka grib\u0113ja man iedot liel\u0101ku iesp\u0113ju, liel\u0101ku sp\u0113les laiku. T\u0101das situ\u0101cijas ir j\u0101izmanto,” teica Vilmanis.<\/p>\n

Vi\u0146\u0161 sp\u0113l\u0113ja vien\u0101 virkn\u0113jum\u0101 ar Evanu Rodrigesu, kur\u0161 “Panthers” divos Stenlija kausos 45 izsl\u0113g\u0161anas sp\u0113l\u0113s izc\u0113lies ar 30 punktiem, un 23 gadus veco Makiju Samoskevi\u010du, kur\u0161 NHL sast\u0101vu iekaroja pag\u0101ju\u0161aj\u0101 sezon\u0101.<\/p>\n

“Biju diezgan p\u0101rsteigts, ka debij\u0101 san\u0101ca uzsp\u0113l\u0113t tik daudz. Pirm\u0101 tre\u0161da\u013ca pag\u0101ja uz emocij\u0101m. Bija nervozas saj\u016btas, bet paties\u012bb\u0101 diezgan labi san\u0101ca nosp\u0113l\u0113t \u2013 gan aizsardz\u012bb\u0101, gan p\u0101ris reizes aiziet uzbrukum\u0101. Dom\u0101ju, t\u0101p\u0113c patur\u0113ja t\u0101du mai\u0146u ar\u012b n\u0101kamaj\u0101 sp\u0113l\u0113.”<\/p>\n

“Man pirms debijas teica, lai izbaudu, lai nedom\u0101ju neko lieku. Bet nedom\u0101ju, ka pirmo sp\u0113li izbaud\u012bju tik \u013coti. Visu laiku dom\u0101ju par to, kas notiks, kas nenotiks, kas var\u0113tu notikt. Otraj\u0101 sp\u0113l\u0113 emocion\u0101li jutos lab\u0101k. Biju pieradis pie hokeja, bija liel\u0101ka p\u0101rliec\u012bba, var\u0113ju vair\u0101k izbaud\u012bt,” sarun\u0101 ar port\u0101lu Sportacentrs.com teica Vilmanis.<\/p>\n

K\u0101das biju\u0161as treneru atsauksmes p\u0113c ma\u010diem Otav\u0101 un Bufalo? “Teica, ka patikusi mana sp\u0113le \u2013 nebaidos \u0146emt ripu uz sevi, nebaidos tais\u012bt izsp\u0113les, izejot no zonas. K\u0101ds cits met ripu \u0101r\u0101, bet es nebaidoties sp\u0113l\u0113t. Tas vi\u0146iem patika. T\u0101pat k\u0101 tas, ka san\u0101ca uzbrukum\u0101 izc\u012bn\u012bt ripas.”<\/p>\n

Vienlaikus Vilmanis atzina, ka patur pr\u0101t\u0101 NHL realit\u0101ti. Floridas “Panthers” no sast\u0101va izkritis Breds Mar\u0161\u0101ns, tuv\u0101kaj\u0101 laik\u0101 pirmo sp\u0113li sezon\u0101 gatavojas aizvad\u012bt Metj\u016b Tka\u010daks. Divi stabili pamatsast\u0101va uzbruc\u0113ji. K\u0101dam n\u0101ksies pab\u012bd\u012bties mal\u0101. “Ja ne glu\u017ei paranoja, tad ir bailes, ka katru dienu var\u0113tu s\u016bt\u012bt lej\u0101. Cerams, ka ar savu sp\u0113li izdosies pier\u0101d\u012bt, ka var\u0113\u0161u uztur\u0113ties ilg\u0101k.”<\/p>\n

Floridas “Panthers” n\u0101kamo sp\u0113li aizvad\u012bs nakt\u012b uz sestdienu, pulksten 2:00 viesojoties pie Karol\u012bnas “Hurricanes”. Vakardienas treni\u0146\u0101 nedz Mar\u0161\u0101ns, nedz Tka\u010daks v\u0113l nevar\u0113ja piedal\u012bties ar pilnu jaudu.<\/p>\n

Vilmanim 2026. gads s\u0101k\u0101s ar izsaukumu uz NHL, bet 2025. gads nosl\u0113dz\u0101s ar zvanu no Latvijas izlases un iek\u013cau\u0161anu Mil\u0101nas olimpiskaj\u0101 sast\u0101v\u0101.<\/p>\n

“Gada beigas san\u0101ca saspringtas. Mums vajadz\u0113ja doties izbraukum\u0101 pie “Phantoms”, bet atc\u0113la divus lidojumus un beig\u0101s n\u0101c\u0101s p\u0101rcelt sp\u0113li, jo m\u0113s vienk\u0101r\u0161i netik\u0101m.

Bija nogurums, bet tad p\u0113c r\u012bta ledus piezvan\u012bja R\u016bdolfs Kalv\u012btis, teica, ka vi\u0146am ir labas zi\u0146as,” 30. decembr\u012b sa\u0146emto zvanu atcer\u0113j\u0101s Vilmanis.<\/p>\n

“Tobr\u012bd neko t\u0101du negaid\u012bju, biju p\u0101rsteigts. Jau tagad nevaru sagaid\u012bt. Protams, vienm\u0113r ir domas par to, kas b\u016bs, kas notiks, k\u0101 b\u016bs, bet \u2013 esmu \u013coti priec\u012bgs.
