**Anton Vladimirovich Petrov** is one of the main characters of *Vinny Gets a Life*, along with Thomas Vincent.

## Personal life

He is the son of Tonya Petrov and famous Russian goalie Vladimir Petrov. He was born and grew up in Hartford, where his father played. He and his mother stayed there even when his father was traded to the Edmonton Oilers in 1996. Anton resents his father for his absences. He had a very good relationship with his maternal grandfather.

He had a long-term girlfriend in high school.

In 2017, he started dating teammate and best friend Thomas Vincent. They have a pet rock, a cat and a dog.

## Playing career

He was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens and has been playing for them since 2009. He does not play for them by 2026, but previously he had a no-trade clause.

In summer 2011 he attended a hockey camp in Toronto with teammate Thomas Vincent and other players, such as Jake Lourdes and David Chapman.

He was named to the ASG 2016 in Cleveland.

### International

He represented the US in the 2014 Olympics, but was 7th D and did not play much. He made the team again in 2018.

## Physical appearance and personality

He has blue eyes and blond-ish hair. He does not grow a beard unless it's for playoffs, but he regularly has scruff. He almost always wears flattening clothes and his style could be described as "designer brand everything". He's handsome and he knows it. Looks like he could kill you, but he's actually a cinnamon roll. In the thicc scale, he is **Big!!!!**.

He's quiet, reserved and possessive and jealous. He is willing to defend his friends and the ones he loves. He's an ISTJ and in the Global 5-SLOAN Multidimensional Typing System he would be a RCOAN. He’s spiky and surly at turns. His love language is Acts of Service.
