Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in bonds of fraternal feeling.
– Abraham Lincoln
A hearty and heart-felt congratulations from OFB today to our favorite new-age hockey reporter, SovetskySport’s Dmitry Chesnokov, who this afternoon raised his right hand and swore an oath of allegiance to the United States as the newest American citizen.
From our collaboration and friendship with Dmitry the past two years we’ve learned that he’s fiercely proud of his Russian heritage — and most especially of his home’s prodigious gifts to the world hockey community — and deeply appreciative of the life and friendships he’s discovered here. We can’t think of a better new addition to now call countryman.

Congrats to Dmitry! I stated that oath myself several years ago after defecting (kidding) from the Great White North. Its a big step. I wish him all the best!
