Unlike His Father

from the Democrat & Chronicle,
As a father and son should, Sergei Kharin and his oldest child, RIT freshman hockey player Anton Kharin, share a number of characteristics.
Naturally, there is a facial resemblance; both stand 5 feet, 11 inches tall; and while Sergei is a little stockier these days than he was during a nearly two-decade professional playing career, his weight when he was Anton’s age (21) was right around the 175 pounds Anton carries.
But then the two men speak, and after a double take you think to yourself, “These two are as likely to be father and son as Gordie Howe and Alexander Ovechkin.”
“Yeah, I was born in Russia, but I’m American or I’m Canadian; I don’t know what I am,” a smiling Anton said in perfect English minus any hint of a Russian accent.
