Florida Eels Announce the Sighing Of Highly Skilled  2000 Skilled Forward  Nikita Pinimyasov from Moscow, Russia

The Florida Eels add a solid punch to their  line up with the addition of Nikita Pinimyasov to its forward arsenal. Nikita  is quite young being a 2000 but he had phenomenal development back in Russia  and is looking to further enhance his development here with the Eels. He has very  good foot speed and great maneuverability. Premier Coach Frankie Scarpaci  opines, “he is a stealth shifty player who will cause havoc on opposing in the defensemen.  He has a hard and accurate shot to support  his acceleration and quick release on net.” Coach Scarpaci also stated,  “At a young age he has a high hockey IQ. When  you combine this with his strong stickhandling abilities and willingness and  desire to score you have a recipe for success. “ In the first 3 days of  training camp he has maintained a very high tempo and has bonded very well with  all of the guys.

We can see in only a few days of Pre Season  camp, Nikita is very coachable. He wants to learn everything he can to improve  his game. He is anxious to learn the North American style of his game in much  smaller rinks. His goal is to play for a NCAA Division 1 college here in the  USA. Recognizing the Eels rich legacy in advancing over 200 players to college,  he feels he is in the right place.

Nikita is looking forward to playing in the 3  USPHL college showcases this season. He has never experienced this type of  exposure and visibility.  These showcases  offer not only the forum to showcase his skills in front of the college  recruiters, but also provide him with the experience of playing with and  against some of the top players in North America and Europe. This experience will  also speak volumes in his player development and will do him well for his  future.

We welcome Nikita to the Eels and the USA. He  will be a very exciting player to watch here in Fort Myers. I am sure he will  be a fan favorite.
