Words from Coach Eberhardt

For some players, hockey is just a cool sport, but for people like Daniel, hockey is
a way of life. You don’t need to be from Russia to love hockey, but I assume it
helps. Like Oshie, Daniel enjoys the battles, the competition, and most
of all, he enjoys the camaraderie of his teammates. Daniel plays with extreme
intensity and determination, so as his focus turns to college and finance, I am sure
it's just a matter of time before he becomes the next Warren Buffett.

Good luck, Daniel!
