Geoff Platt is a Canadian-Belarusian ice hockey player, currently playing for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the Kontinental Hockey League. He has also played for HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL, Ilves Tampere of the Finnish SM-Liiga and the Columbus Blue Jackets and Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League. Born and raised in Canada, Platt played major junior in the Ontario Hockey League before spending several years between the NHL and its minor league affiliate the American Hockey League. In 2008 Platt received an offer to join Ilves in Finland, briefly playing in Belarus beforehand. He played in Finland for one season before returning to Minsk the following year, and spent nearly five full seasons with Dinamo before being traded to Lokomotiv in 2013. Platt had previously played for the Canadian national under-18 team, winning a gold medal at the 2003 IIHF World U18 Championships, but in 2012 he acquired Belarusian citizenship, and having satisfied the International Ice Hockey Federation criteria, was able to represent Belarus starting at the 2014 IIHF World Championship held in Minsk. [More at Wikipedia]
