Leonid Aleksandrovitš Komarov (Russian: Леонид Александрович Комаров, Leonid Aleksandrovich Komarov; born January 23, 1987) is a Finnish-Russian professional ice hockey player. He is currently a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Raised in Finland, Komarov is the first person born in Estonia to play in the NHL.[1] Komarov was a member of the gold-winning Finnish national team in the 2011 IIHF World Championship.

Personal

Komarov was born in Estonia (then in the Soviet Union) to Russian parents.[2] At the age of five, the Komarov family moved to the Swedish-speaking town of Nykarleby, Finland when his father Alexander Komarov accepted a contract to play ice hockey there.[3][4] Because his father was an ethnic Karelian, the family was able to permanently reside there.[5] Leo Komarov also holds dual Russian-Finnish citizenship.[6]

Komarov is multi-lingual and can speak four languages: Swedish, Finnish, Russian, and English.[7]

Playing career

After playing with different junior teams, he started his career in the SM-liiga with Ässät. After winning a silver medal with Ässät in 2006, he moved to Pelicans. During the 2009-2010 season Komarov began to play with HC Dynamo Moscow. He was chosen in the sixth round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, 180th overall, by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Komarov was captain of Team Finland at the 2007 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Sweden. Komarov won a gold medal with Finland at the 2011 IIHF World Championships in Slovakia. In May 2012, Komarov agreed to terms with the Toronto Maple Leafs for the 2012–13 season.[8] The reported value of his contract is 1.2 million dollars, including bonuses.[9] Komarov played his first NHL game on January 19, 2013. Komarov scored his first NHL goal, a game winner, against the Montreal Canadiens on February 9, 2013.[10]
