The SHL S25 Entry Draft is long gone and only a few names remain from this illustrious draft class. One name in particular that retired a few seasons back is friend and long time teammate of Nikolaus Scholz, Ivan Koroviev. The Russian native spent the better part of 13 seasons with the Blizzard organisation, witnessing many highs and lows. Traded as part of the rebuild back in the mid s30's, he jumped around the SHL a bit before ultimately hanging them up. From time to time him and Nik will get together to discuss their life. Still an active skater Nik largely talks about the SHL, but Ivan has since returned to his true passion, potato farming. Between the odd chess tournament Ivan can typically be found tending to his vast wealth of potato fields, the majority of which is used to distil his own vodka, Koroviev Finest. On occasion he'll even gift a bottle or two to Scholz for special events such as christmas or birthdays.
