Boris Alexandrov played only one full season in 1976 with the Team USSR, playing in 19 games, scoring four goals and winning an Olympic gold medal and a bronze in the Canada Cup in that season.^[2] But he had a very long career at the club level, which lasted well into the 1990s. Alexandrov began to play hockey with Torpedo Ust-Kamenogorsk in 1972, but in 1973 joined CSKA Moscow and played there until 1978. With CSKA Moscow Alexandrov won three Soviet Championships titles (1975, 1977, 1978) and three European Champions Cup titles (1974, 1976, 1978).
