It's easier to just call him Ukrainian than some convoluted "player of Ukrainian patrilineal ethnic descent"

I don't think anyone's ever argued that a Russian-named player from Kazakhstan wasn't Russian...just sayin'...

Matters little after recent naturalization spree, but still nice to see Lviv born Andreykiv earning some icetime.

Yep, that's probably it. Besides Dmitri Shvidenko, which Atlant released, I believe there is no additional Ukraine-related players in MHL/VHL, that already aren't in Donbass' system already.

EDIT: Forgot Toryanik signed two-way deal with Torpedo.

looks like Dyatlov (Russian) is getting all the starts with the Guard, wtf? You have 4 goalies, spread it around. Yachnyk had a good 1 game too, reward the kid. Pisarenko hasn't touched the ice yet...(though he's the youngest)


for defense, Skripets is the only Ukie getting any ice time

Andreykiv (Lviv) seems to have been converted to forward, getting ice time but no points...1 shot in 10 games...ugh...

lyalka, zhakarov, and cherdak are the only ones getting ice time and all games at forward. cherdaks not doing anything, zharkov/lyalka aren't impressing but doing okay...


5 ukrainians on all of donetsk? eh, i guess it's something...

In the championship of Ukraine established junior league. At the start of the championship YUHL, which can act only players born in 1994-1997, will take five teams. On this channel Xsport reported in the press - service of the Hockey Federation of Ukraine.

Surprised that Donetsk doesn't have a team in this, I'm sure Donbass-98 could have played, plus they have other kids in their Academy school they run now

Maybe Donetsk couldn't scrape together 15 local skaters? :sarcasm: Anyway, probably missing out due to age, but probably they would be title contenders anyway.

just checked, they have almost 500 kids playing at their school, but outside of the 98 group, they only do 2001s-2008s

Pretty healthy number, but that just shows, that Donbass will really show of their own kids on international stage starting from 17-18 season at earliest.

Also noticed that 98 born roster isn't playing in Moscow championship anymore this season, but in "Moscow region" group. Shame, won't be able to compare their progress during the offseason, as they will be facing completely different teams.

added Dmytro Shvidenko, went under the radar

from Lubny, was sent from Lada in the VHL to Ugra's MHL affiliate. Drafted by Atlant in 2009.

Surely he can't play for Yugra's MHL team. He is too old.

He's 21, how is he too old?

but you're right, and I'm too tired today

He got promoted to Ugra in the KHL, not the affiliate (doh)

time to add to the other list!

NHL central scouting lists Vitali Lyalka among Euro skaters. Means little, but still nice, that MHL roster gives best Ukrainian prospects more exposure.

Ukrainian Prospects?

Are there any Ukrainian players with pro potential, whether it be AHL or NHL? Is there any chance NHL teams take late flyers on players with glimpses of potential to remove them and their families from the current situation? I was just curious, but feel that is too optimistic of a hope.
