Sherbatov, who is Jewish,[2] moved with his family from Israel to Laval, Quebec when he was two years old. His parents were originally from Moscow, Russia and fans of the Montreal Canadiens. According to Sherbatov, his family was permitted entry into Canada by immigration officials because his father said he wanted him to be like Guy Lafleur.[3]

Early life

Eliezer Alexeevich Sherbatov was born in a Russian Jewish family. He is the youngest child. His brother, Yoni Sherbatov is a professional MMA fighter. At the age of two he moved with his family to Canada, to the city of Lasalle. His father was a big fan of the Montreal Canadiens. According to Eliezer, the immigration service allowed his family to enter Canada only after the words of his father that he wanted his son to become like number 10, Guy Lafleur.[4]

Playing career

Junior Career

At the age of thirteen, Sherbatov made his debut in the Israeli hockey league as part of the adult "Metulla" team. In the 2004/05 season he managed to win bronze medals of the championship together with the team. In total, Eliezer played for "Metulla" until 2008.

In 2008, Sherbatov attended training camp with the Montreal Junior Hockey Club, and spent the 2008–09 season with Laval-Bourassa Rousseau Sports of the Quebec Midget AAA Hockey League where he led the team in scoring. He made 61 (29 goals + 32 assists) points in 45 games, becoming the third in the league for leading scorers. In the playoffs, he helped the team win the championship while leading the playoffs with 15 goals in 18 games.[4]

Sherbatov began playing major junior hockey in Canada during the 2009–10 season with the Montreal Junior Hockey Club, playing in 62 games and recording 30 (12 goals + 18 assists) points. He played 37 games with Montreal again in 2010–11 before being traded to the Baie-Comeau Drakkar.

Sherbatov has played extensively for the Israel national ice hockey team, drawing international attention when he first played in the 2005 IIHF World U18 championship Division III, in Bulgaria, at the age of 13 and becoming the youngest player to step on the ice in a under 18 world championship.[4][5] He played again with the under-18 team in 2006 and 2008. In his first tournament, he scored 9 (4 goals + 5 assists) points in 5 games and helped the team win a bronze medal which also became the first medal that won in a under 18 world championship tournament. In the second championship, the 2006 IIHF World U18 Championship, in Romania, Eliezer scored 14 (6 goals + 8 assists) points, which helped the team to rise to the second division by winning the silver medal. Unfortunately, Sherbatov's next participation in the 2008 IIHF World U18 championship Division II, in Estonia, ended with the return of the Israeli team to the third division.

Eliezer started to play with the Senior National team at the 2010 IIHF World Championship Division II, in Estonia, at age 19.[6] He scored 6 (3 goals + 3 assists) points in five games, which did not save the Israeli team from relegation to the third division. Sherbatov became an internet sensation after scoring a highlight goal against Greece at the 2011 IIHF World Championship Division III, in South-Africa.[7] Sherbatov led the tournament in points, goals, assists and +/-, earning 26 (14 goals + 12 assists) points in just four games. He was named best forward of the tournament. At the tournament in 2012 IIHF World Championship division II, in Bulgaria, Eliezer showed again a high performance, gaining 14 (5 goals + 9 assists) points which helped the Israeli team stay in the second division. The last time the Eliezer stepped on the ice for his National team was in the 2014 world championship division II, in Serbia, where in managed to put up 9 (3 goals, 6 assists) points in 5 games.
