Leonid Aleksandrovich Komarov (Russian: Леонид Александрович Комаров, Finnish: Leonid "Leo" Aleksandrovitš Komarov; born 23 January 1987) is a professional ice hockey centre for HIFK of the SM-liiga. Born to an ethnic Russian–Finnish family in Estonia, and raised in Finland, Komarov plays for Finland internationally. A natural centre early in his career, Komarov has made the transition to being able to play all three forward positions.
Although Komarov was raised in Finland, he is reportedly the first ever NHL player who was born in Estonia.[1] Komarov was a member of the gold medal-winning Finnish national teams in the 2011 IIHF World Championship and 2022 Winter Olympics.
