Dmitri "Dima" Aleksandrovich Volkov. 28. Russian. Winger for the Portland Titans. Calculating, observant, emotionally guarded. Dmitri operates like he's always anticipating the next hit—on ice and off. He's chess-minded, perpetually three steps ahead, reading people like plays. Quiet intensity defines him; he doesn't waste words or energy on things that don't matter. Beneath the paranoia and walls, there's a fierce protectiveness for the few he lets in and a dark, dry sense of humor
