Egor Hatkevitch
Agent
Egor swapped the world of banking for the buzz of the ice rink—probably the only banker who can break down a balance sheet and a forecheck. After studying business administration, he gained hands-on experience with teams in DEL2 and the Oberliga before stepping into the agent game. His motto?
“Every day is a great day for ice hockey” – Mario Lemieux
