Career

Mark Rajevski began his career as an ice hockey goalkeeper in his hometown Tallinn with the local HK Vipers . After a year in the youth department of the Latvian top club HK Liepājas Metalurgs , he moved to the Tallinna Eagles in 2006 , for whom he made his debut in the Estonian ice hockey league. In the following year he was signed by the newly formed professional team of Tartu Big Diamonds , with whom he played in the Latvian ice hockey league and in April 2008 won the Estonian Super Cup with a 4-2 win against the Estonian champions Tartu Kalev-Välk . The Big Diamonds were closed after the season for financial reasons, however, and Rajevski dared the leap across the pond to North America, where he was in the can with the Minnesota Wildcats and Brock Bucks. In 2010 he was appointed to the All-Star Team of the Canadian Junior League GMHL, in which he played with the Bucks. In 2010 he returned to Europe and joined Varberg HK , where his brother Jan was already under contract. With the team from the Kattegat Coast he rose in 2011 to Division 2 , the fourth highest division in the country. After moving up again, now to Division 1 , he left Varberg in 2014 and moved to Trelleborgs IF in Division 3 .
