Venom HC 16U AAA Announces Signing of Russian Forward Ivan Kulikov

Venom HC is proud to officially announce the signing of 2011-born forward Ivan Kulikov from Moscow, Russia, to its 16U AAA program for the upcoming season.

Kulikov joins the Venom following a strong U15 season competing in one of Moscow’s top Centre programs, where he recorded 7 goals and 7 assists in 22 games. Known for his high hockey IQ and composed style of play, Kulikov is a smart, creative forward who sees the ice exceptionally well and has the ability to generate offense for both himself and his teammates. His vision, skill, and poise under pressure make him a valuable addition to the Venom lineup.

Making the transition to Canada, Kulikov is committed to continuing his development in a highly competitive environment. He brings a strong work ethic and a team-first mindset, with a clear focus on maximizing his potential on and off the ice.

“Adding a player like Ivan is a significant step for our program,” said Venom HC President & GM, Brady Douglas. “His understanding of the game and ability to make plays at speed for his age group will have an immediate impact. We’re excited to support his development and provide him with a platform to succeed.”

Venom HC looks forward to welcoming Ivan and his family to the organization and is excited to see his contributions throughout the upcoming season. Kulikov will be wearing #10 this season.

Please welcome Ivan to the Venom HC AAA 16U Team.
