The Russians have put together a roster of their U20 players that will play in the Sochi Hockey Open at the former Olympic grounds. From what I can gather on their website, the tournament will be played against the U20 rosters of Slovakia and Belarus, or the ones that are showing up anyway.
Abramov, 19, has played for Russia’s U18 and U17 teams. This appointment could potentially hint towards a possible World Juniors invite at the end of 2020, or whenever a tournament can be conducted.
Top goalie prospect Yaroslav Askarov is on the team, along with a handful of other top prospects for this summer’s NHL Draft including Shakir Mukhamadullin, Ilya Ovchinnikov, Maxim Groshev, Yegor Chinakhov, and Rodion Amirov.
