Yarik Zakharov

Ice Hockey: Assistant/C Team Captain

Hey everyone!

My name is Yarik, I'm a third-year ChemEng student from Russia. Despite the fact that I only picked up ice hockey 5 months ago, it QUITE LITERALLY runs in my blood. In this time, I got to know the people and the situation around the club very well. Committing to playing ice hockey in London is not easy, time-wise and financially, and it's a real shame that this barrier puts many people off. This year, the club's recruitment was remarkable. With the position on the committee, I'm hoping to not only maintain this going into next year, but go above and beyond, inspiring so many to love the sport and the team as much as we do!

As your Assistant Captain, I'm afraid there's some things I cannot guarantee:

Goal scoring
Great skating
Crazy drinking

However, there are some things that I can guarantee:

Some chaos management on Gabriel's behalf, especially on game days
Valued input to ensure trainings are FUN, but SUPER USEFUL to help future freshers wipe UCL off the ice
Leadership to ensure everyone gets involved and feels a valued member of this great club

With me as your Assistant Captain, the future of the B team is in safe hands, or gloves!

3, 2, 1... DEVILS!
