Alex thinks it's an honor to speak to the students at his old high school back in Russia. He's always been a pretty shy guy so public speaking isn't really his strong suit, but he's going to do his best to keep the students engaged. His status as a rising star in the SHL all the way out in America probably will help keep them interested. He'll of course spend some time talking about his triumphs in the SMJHL: winning Rookie of the Year and Defenseman of the Year, and of course the all important championship with the Anaheim Outlaws. If they follow the SHL much they'll probably want to know what's going on with the San Francisco Pride after the sudden management shakeup. We're building for the future, he'll say. It's time for a youth movement and he hopes to be at the forefront of that. They'll probably want to hear about America and want to know if he's met any celebrities and all that. Since he's spent his entire career in California, he's definitely seen his share. He'll probably also throw in some stuff about how you can make your dreams come true if you put your mind to it and all that. Aren't speakers supposed to be motivational?
