Every season seems to get tougher and tougher for Artemi Berezin, he has now been in the league for 12 seasons and the grind of the SHL is finally starting to show even though he is still producing with the up and coming Chiefs.

Last season Berezin was still able to put up some respectful numbers with 35 points in 50 games, but this season he looks to take a step back because of up and coming players, so this off-season and the delayed start to the season were a blessing for Berezin.

Berezin worked very hard in the off-season in the states and skipped going home to visit family which he usually did because he realized how quickly the next season comes and how much he needs to keep his skill up to compete at this level, but with the delay happening Berezin found time to head home and spend some quality time at home with family and really get a full reset on the upcoming season, so we expect some good things from him.
