Player Name: Ivan Koroviev (Updates)

Position: RW/LW (versatile enough to play C if needed)

What's your interest like in playing for Toronto? I'm very interested in being a North Star. One of the things I value most in a team is LR camaraderie, and the fact that I'm already familiar with Harter and Nichushkin from the Team Russia LR is a big bonus. Playing at Kelowna I have also become familiar with David Benson, and at some point was labelled a potential Benson #2, though I forget when, where, and by whom. Either way it would be nice to have a former Knight or two around.

What're your goals for your player? To enjoy myself, and to develop into an elite playmaker. My current build is solid and versatile, but over the coming season I want to focus on my skating, passing, and puck-handling. It would be great to be competing for trophies, but at the end of the day I'm here to enjoy myself, and hopefully to pick up team and/or individual honours along the way.

Would you be the type of player to commit long term to your franchise? Absolutely. If I feel valued and at home in the locker room, I am a very loyal person. Being a valued and integral member of a team is more appealing to me than being an inconsequential member of a championship winning team.

What do you bring to Toronto? Dedication, activity, a desire for continual improvement, and my own unique personality. Even when I'm trying to be a cunt people seem to like me. 'tis a hard life! :( I'm very active in the locker room and in media circles, though, and I am positive that I would do well by you should I be drafted by Toronto. If you'd like to have a quick look at the following links, you may find further reasons to consider drafting me:

Ranked #6 overall in draft class by Lord Pretty Flacko/Baelor Swift: "While Koroviev joined just days before the draft, he has done an excellent job at making up for the lost week many of his peers were able to take advantage of. He's been one of the stronger media contributors of the draft class and...deserves to be one of the top players taken in the draft."

#5 RW in draft class according to Travis Kudleychuk/BeanSobie: "The Knight’s young Russian playmaker certainly had a season to forget from a statistics standpoint, but his dedication to training was top level in the draft... This undervalued player may make an SHL team very happy as he is poised for a breakout season next year and should be a great player long term."
