Artemi Berezin, he is from Alexei’s hometown of St. Petersburg. Alexei enjoyed watching Artemi from a young age and is excited to be on the same junior team as Artemi. Alexei hopes to achieve a fraction of the success Artemi did and hopes to make the splash in his native Russia and St. Petersburg and be an inspiration for other Russian players coming up. Artemi is a two-way forward which is different than Alexei who focuses on being a sniper, but it is the type of balance that Alexei hopes to achieve. Where Artemi’s build focuses more heavily on passing Alexei is primarily going to be focused on scoring. A lot of Artemi’s build would be very similar to what Alexei wants to achieve but with less focus on faceoffs since Alexei largely plays wing but Alexei does want to achieve flexibility and be able to fill the gaps for whatever a team wants. Ultimately Alexei is largely going to focus on defense, shooting, and puck handling with an eventual focus on passing and skating to round out the build.
