Cornell University Big Red Russian-born, undrafted, senior forward Max Andreev(15) is putting up numbers like he is going to be a player to watch come the end of the season, if he wants to turn into an unrestricted free agent.
The 6′ 183 lbs. power forward has 7 goals and 9 assists in 11 games this season, which already outstrips what he did as a freshman and is very near to numbers he put up as a junior.
His team did not play 2020/2021 due to COVID protocols.
He spent his youth hockey at CSKA Moskva U17 before coming over to initially play pay for junior hockey before getting brought up with great EHL numbers to the NAHL, where he spent a solid year.
Next, he would move up again to the USHL and be signed by Central Illinois Flying Aces before heading to school.
Almost completely oddly, he has scored 12 goals and 31 assists on three occasions, twice in juniors and once at youth.
The 23-year old will be a wonder to watch play out potentially his final frame, unless he goes for a year of eligibility.
He does extend school for another year, scoring a college best 16 assists, while taking in assistant captain duties.
Turning pro, he signs with Coachella Valley Firebirds, but is reassigned to affiliate Kansas City Mavericks, where he blows up scoring to the tune of 19 goals and 54 assists in 63 games with a +34 rating.
He signs on to stay for 2024/2025.
