Profile Contributed By: Eugene Belashchenko
History
The hard-hitting defenseman came on strong late in the 2003-04 season in the High League (Russia 2), as well as with the Russian U18 National Team. Played in the Upper league as a 17-year-old, where he racked up the penalty minutes.
Has seen limited action in the Russian Super League with Lada this season. Also was a memeber of the World Junior U-20 Silver medal team.
Talent Analysis
An aggressively physical stay at home defenseman, with a strong shot from the point and above average skating. Will need to bulk some to fill out his frame, improve his offensive production, and cut down on penalties.
Hits and annoys the opposition.
