"His penalty-killing, work ethic and gritty play is second to none."
The 28-year-old signed with Norfolk on December 19, 2022 and quickly established himself at the ECHL level. In 43 games with the Admirals during the 2022-23 season, Timofeyev totaled 37 points, which third best on the team. Following his successful stint that year, he was awarded with a tryout to Chicago Wolves (AHL) Training Camp.
"I'm happy to be back for another season with the Admirals," Timofeyev said. "I'm also very excited to be a part of this great organization once again and play in-front of our great fan base. We have a lot to prove as a team and as individuals. I am thankful that we will have an opportunity to prove ourselves starting in October."
Prior to his arrival in Norfolk, Timofeyev spent three seasons in the SPHL, two with the Knoxville Ice Bears and one with the Birmingham Bulls. In 2021-22, he corralled 49 total points (23g, 26a) in 46 regular season games. In 2016-17, Timofeyev suited up for the Bradford Rattlers in the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League (GMHL). He was named regular season MVP for posting 107 points (38g, 69a) in just 37 games.
