Räshid Hakimsan[a] (Tatar: Рәшит Хәкимҗан, romanized: Rəşit Xəkimcan[b], Tatar pronunciation: [ɾæˈʃit χæ.kimˈʑɑn] ⓘ; 5 April 1934 – 4 September 1997[1]) was a Finnish ice hockey player and referee who played in SM-Sarja during 1951–1960 and won the Finnish Championship four times. Sports writer Martti Huhtamäki called Hakimsan one of the "big favorites" of local hockey crowds of his time.[2] After his playing career and until 1974, Hakimsan operated as a hockey referee of international status. He was also among the most active referees of his time in Finland and was awarded afterwards.

In addition to hockey, Hakimsan won silver at Finnish junior championship Swedish relay in 1951 and in 1952 as a footballer he won the Football Association of Finland junior championship and was awarded as the best in the team.

Player[edit]

Räshid Hakimsan represented his entire career the local team Ilves. During 1951–1960, he played 88 matches as an attacker, and his points were 64 + 35 = 99, and penalties 33 minutes. Hakimsan made five hat tricks.[3] He won the Finnish Championship in 1952, 1957, 1958 and 1960.[4] He also won the junior Finnish Championship in 1952 and 1953, as well as the Finnish Cup in 1958.[5][6]

Hakimsan represented Finland in eight matches of junior national ice hockey and two B-series national ice hockey matches. In 1952, playing against Norway, Hakimsan was awarded as the best attacker in the team and a local newspaper wrote about him as a "crowd favorite" who "duped the Norwegians with ease".[7][8]

Hakimsan made the opening goal in the first Finnish synthetic ice rink Koulukatu in 1956.[9]

In 1959, when Ilves traveled to Italy and Germany to play a summer tournament, Hakimsan was among the team. They first played in a Cortina d'Ampezzo olympic stadium and after that in Germany's Oberstdorf against Krefeld and lastly in Berlin against the East Germany national team.[10][11]

In 1960, when Hakimsan played his last match, winning gold, he, Finnish hockey players Raimo Kilpiö and Jorma Salmi were called "the most dangerous trio in the league".[5]

A 1953 newspaper article named "Viisas Räsid" (Wise Räshid) describes how it is a shame that Hakimsan has to choose between football and ice hockey since he's a player with "rare intellectual playing style" and "we don't get his kind often".[17][18]

Hakimsan did not however quit football entirely. In 1956 he won the junior district championship. His team awarded him with a silver medal.[18]

Both as a hockey player and a footballer Hakimsan was often praised for his skills, but he was also described as a selfish player, because too often he tried to make all the goals himself.[19][20][21][22]
