          Mikey Markov Junior Review

 

            Born February 17^th 2005, Mikey Markov was born to 2 hockey loving parents; Matthew and Liz Markov. The family has come from a long line of hockey players such as David Markov and Andre Markov who lit it up in the NHL of old. The family line has been very rich in hockey talent safe to say and it looks like that will continue for years to come.

 

            Mikey began skating when he was only 1 year old and quickly learned the advanced techniques he would later use in his career. Mikey played competitively at the age of 8 in a local league called the MJHL. Mikey played mainly against kids who were bigger than him as this league was U13. It was a challenge that Mikey took and excelled from with 71 goals and 43 assists in 56 games in his first season in the league.

            When Mikey left the league tragedy struck. His father Matthew Markov was involved in a deadly car crash in which he collided with a drunk driver on April 29^th 2017. The family was hit hard by the news as Mikey lost a father and Liz lost a husband. They went through heavy turmoil here which almost ended the career of the young phenom before it even really started.

 

            At the age of 14, Mikey decided to get a job to help support his family as Liz began to save for her retirement. Mikey began working as an assistant equipment manager for the local AHL team; Manitoba Moose. Mikey earned good money at his job and had several great experiences. This job meant the world to him and he did everything he could to impress his employers in search of a raise. I suppose you could say he got a raise because at the age of 15 Mikey’s agent and him accepted an offer to play in the WHL where Mikey was granted exceptional status and welcomed into the league.

 

            It was definitely a bumpy road for the kid but in his only season in the WHL his totals definitely impressed with 21 goals 28 assists for 49 points in the 56 game season. His stats gained the attention of the professional men’s league, VHL. Mikey enjoyed a brief playoff run with the Houston Bulls of the VHLM which is the minor associate of the VHL. Mikey is currently waiting for the S79 VHLM Dispersal Draft to see what his next team will be.
