Just arrived at the training camp of his new team, the New York Islanders, the young defenseman Alexander Romanov is already causing a stir among his new teammates.

We had the opportunity to see him a little bit in Montreal, but Romanov is a very entertaining, friendly and cheerful young man. His new compatriots, including goaltender Semyon Varlamov, have quickly noticed this.

"He's funny. He always enters the locker room with a big smile on his face. He's already making fun of everyone. He's got a great personality. It's nice to have him on the team. The guys already talk about him a lot."

- Semyon Varlamov

Romanov has a golden opportunity to make a splashy debut with his new team, as he currently forms a pair with the excellent Noah Dobson on the Islanders' top pair.

"Alex likes to be competitive when he plays. Forwards that cross the middle of the ice have to be aware that he likes to [go to contact]. Obviously, the more practices we have, the more games we have and the more opportunities we have to play with each other, the more comfortable we'll be. He's a great player and I'm excited to play with him."

- Noah Dobson

"He's funny and full of energy. A good guy. He's a very good defender, a very aggressive and strong guy. He'll be a big help to our team."

Clearly, Romanov is already making his mark in the New York Islanders locker room, and his teammates already seem to like him a lot. Let's face it, that's not surprising.
