Damir Timofeyevich - Junior Review

 

Through his career so far, there has certainly been a lot of potential shown by Damir Timofeyevich to become a player who might just be able to enjoy a successful career in the VHL. He was born in Moscow, Russia and spent a large part of his childhood practicing his skills on the ice not as a hockey player, but as a figure skater. Coming from a family of skaters, the push to follow in the family career was strong and dominated a lot of his childhood, but before his 13th birthday he was able to watch a hockey game in person and it changed his perspective forever. From that point on he only wanted to devote himself to mastering the sport of hockey, and he began to obsessively work on his skills by practicing with an old stick he had found and anything he could find in the street to simulate a puck. It wasn't the best way of practicing and learning the game for a young player, but it only fuelled his desire to get a proper chance to play in the best possible setting when his time came around. After a few months of practicing in secret on the side of his figure skating work, Damir went to his father and told him that he would like to play hockey. Although it was not easy for him to bring him around and on side, when Damir showed his father how hard he had worked and the ability that he had gained, he allowed him to practice with a local team. Before long, he was signed as a prospect by Dynamo Moscow, one of the best hockey teams in the whole of Russia. Being around the kind of talent that was present with that team allowed Damir to really develop his ability and skills on the ice, and it wasn't long before he was really able to stand out among even the great players that he found himself alongside at his new team. Before long, calls began to come in from agents who believed he might have what it takes to make a career in the VHL. It was something that Damir had never really considered before, but realising that he had nothing to lose, he decided to go ahead and  make the steps required to enter the VHLM. Damir is hoping to take all the lessons he has learnt so far in his career to the next level and apply them in a big way in the VHL.
