KHL Season 2019/20

[Caser]

Lokomotiv finishes the season with the game roster with an average age of 21.5. And all of the players on the roster are Lokomotiv hockey school alumni.

Looks like good hockey school at Yaroslavl. Nice goal by Belyayev.

Have you seen this masterpiece by Anton Shenfeld?

Apologize for reviving an old post. This is the most recent post I could find regarding Shenfeld. The 27-year-old is off to a point-per-game start but I could find very little information about him.

When I saw his name I figured he was an import but eliteprospects lists his hometown as Magnitogorsk.

Does anyone have more information about him?

He has german roots. In and around Omsk mostly(Magnitogorsk being a neigbouring region) there is strong german community. Germans were deported there(and to Kazakhstan) during WW2 to avoid possible colaboration with the enemy issues. A lot of Germans migrated to Germany during the harsh 90s, but there are still some there as evidenced by some german names popping up in russian hockey.

I assume Schönfeld would be the german version of his name. He was a sort of a B grade prospect back in the day. So a late bloomer now with some good development to become a solid KHLer.

His peer Mozer is another one. He is from Omsk. Mozer being the russified german Moser to match the german pronounciation.

Eduard Reizvikh is probably another russified german name. Another Omsk native who played for the Omsk team.

Avangard's great of the past Viktor Graf played for Omsk in the late 60s IIRC. Antoher Omsk German for you.
