Vasily Alexandrovich Podkolzin (Russian: Василий Александрович Подколзин;) is a Russian professional ice hockey winger currently playing for SKA Saint Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was selected tenth overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Podkolzin played for the Belye Medvedi club until he was 12 years old, when he moved to Vityaz Podolsk. The move was done both because Belye Medvedi has no professional affiliate, and their leadership had changed. He spent four years with Vityaz at their school, but was not given a chance to play for their club in the Junior Hockey League (MHL), the top junior league in Russia, so in 2018 he decided to transfer to SKA Saint Petersburg.
On 12 November 2018, Podkolzin made his Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) debut with SKA Saint Petersburg, becoming the first player born in the 21st century to play in the KHL. He split the 2018–19 season between three teams and leagues: three games with SKA; fourteen with SKA-Neva of the Supreme Hockey League (VHL), the minor league for the KHL; and twelve games with SKA-1946 of the MHL.
Rated by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau as the second-best international (playing outside of North America) skater, Podkolzin was a highly regarded prospect going into the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[4] He was selected tenth overall by the Vancouver he still has a contract with SKA for two more seasons, Podkozlin is expected to remain in Russia before moving to the NHL.
International play
In 2018, Podkolzin captained Russia in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup where he won a bronze medal. In the bronze medal game against the United States, Podkolzin scored a hat trick in a 5–4 victory. He led the tournament in scoring with 8 goals, 3 assists and 11 total points in 5 games.
Podkolzin next played internationally at the 2019 World Junior Championships in Vancouver, Canada. He recorded 3 assists in 7 games, helping Russia win bronze. He also played at the 2019 Under-18 World Championships, scoring four points in seven games
Personal life
Podkozlin was born in Moscow and grew up in the Maryino District of the city. He has one younger brother, Mikhail (born 2011), who also plays hockey. Podkozlin’s father, Alexander, is an entrepreneur, while his mother teaches piano. He first skated at the age of four, and began to play hockey shortly after that. His grandfather played for Khimik Voskresensk, and his father plays in an amateur league. When he was eight Podkolzin joined the Belye Medvedi (White Bears) club. The Belye Medvedi facilities were on the opposite side of the city from the Podkolzin home (north-west and south-east, respectively), it took over an hour via metro and bus for Podkolzin to reach the rink. When he moved to Saint Petersburg Podkolzin stayed in an apartment with a teammate, Ivan Manin.
A skilled winger who plays with an edge. Podkolzin combines his fine hockey sense, puck handling and shooting with an aggressive, in-your-face, type of game. He competes hard, is very difficult to play against and has the tools to be a high scoring player. (EP 2019)
“He can bulldoze through a defenseman on his way to the net“ 2019
“A force to be reckoned with each time he is on the ice, his explosive skating and speed help him carry the puck with ease“ Future Considerations 2019
“He takes powerful strides to get up ice and needs only a few steps to reach his top speed“ McKeen’s Hockey 2019
“He’s a complete winger with all the qualities that you want in a player“ Craig Button - TSN 2018
