eliteprospects doesn't say, but Russian sources tell that Matvei's father name is the same as Vitaly's and also there is an interview saying Vitaly has a younger brother named Matvei. Also if you look at their ep profiles, you can notice both of them played in Chelyabinsk and Vladivostok.

Yea I don’t get why eliteprospects doesn’t have him listed as a relative, I have seen pics of them together on social media. They are definitely related, I wasn’t sure if brothers or cousins

For ep to know that they need someone to submit that kind of info to them with the proving links, but nowadays that option is only there for the premium accounts.

If he would be good he likely would be playing for the Traktor hockey school, so I guess the latter.

Is "Traktor Hockey School": "Traktor Chelyabinsk U18 (Russia U18)?
That's where Vitali played, but isn't Matvei playing at the same level, just Vladivostok organization instead? Or what's the difference? I know you're very knowledgable about Russian prospects so if you could explain how minor hockey works there a bit I would greatly appreciate it, as there is not a lot of information online about how their minor hockey system works

Just at this U18 level (and younger) there is no such thing as "the same level", eliteprospects are using "Russia U18" as the umbrella term for it, but in reality it is a combination of U18 regional leagues that really vary by strength. The strongest one unsurprisingly is the Moscow region league, followed by St.Petersburg, then probably Volga and Ural regions and the weaker ones would be the Far East/Siberia and Southern regions (I'm maybe mistaken somewhere there, but that's the general idea). And it is a bit of a vicious circle there, as strong players want to play in the stronger league, moving there and making their home region's league weaker and their new league even stronger.

Inside those regional leagues these is also a historical division in weaker and stronger hockey schools/programs, Traktor is a historically strong school and Admiral is a relatively new and a weaker one. So to compare, Vitaly played for a strong Traktor team in a relatively strong Ural U18 league, while Matvei plays on a weaker Admiral team in a Siberia/Far East league that is also considered a weaker one. So even though in eliteprospects it might look similar, the reality quite differs.

Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge
Looking at their EP pages, it seems Vitali played U16 at the same age but Matvei played U18 this season and is still only 15. Do you think the gap between programs is so large that U16 Traktor > U18 Vladivostok?

I just double-checked and it is actually even a bit more complicated: that weaker Far East/Siberia league is divided at midseason into two groups by strength (so pretty much also a separate leagues of different level) and Admiral played the second half of the season in a weaker group (is the strongest team there, but still). Playing with two years older kids isn't that unique in the weaker midget teams, but is much harder to do in stronger programs, which is why Vitaly didn't do that at that age (he also has a very late birthdate, which also matters at that age).

Probably just coincidences to be honest. Very, very little chance of them actually being related.

Doubt they're even related. I know at least 7 different trios of Matvei Kravtsovs who's older brothers are named Vitaly and have a father with the same name, from that region. It's extremely, extremely common, because it's a tradition through families with at least 2 sons that dates from generations ago. They call it the gift of Kravtsov and they believe it's a source of tremendous power and ability.

I know them! Their great-grand pappy was Vitaly Kravtsov, wasn't it? We sailed the Bering Sea together
