Ivan Provorov was rated as a top prospect in 2014-15, and he was selected seventh overall in the 2015 NHL Draft by the Flyers. He finally fulfilled his lifelong dream of possibly playing in the NHL. After being drafted by the Flyers, he continued playing with the Brandon Wheat Kings for the 2015-16 season. Provorov won the WHL championship with the Brandon Wheat Kings in 2015-16, and was named WHL defenseman of the year. He signed an entry-level contract with the Flyers on July 3, 2015.
Fast forward to 2019, now “Provy” is a number one defenceman for the Flyers. He is averaging 24:10 of ice time a night for the orange and black this season, as he plays top line after top line. Without further delay, here is a video of Provorov by our very own Yariv Wolok.
