HC “Siberia” parted with the pupil of the club for the ex-player of the NHL
HC “Siberia” held an exchange with Moscow “Spartak”
Galchenyuk spent 11 seasons in the NHL, where he played 692 games. Since 2023, the forward played in the KHL for SKA, Amur and Spartak. He has 187 matches and 118 points (52 goals and 66 assists). In the spring of 2025, the hockey player received Russian citizenship. This season for Spartak, he managed to hold six matches, score one puck and give two assists.
General Director of Siberia Lev Krutokhvostov admitted that the decision to exchange the young pupil was not easy for the club. However, the team now needs an experienced player who can strengthen the squad in the near future.
Alexander Grunin is our pupil, and I understand that there will be a certain amount of negativity on this decision. But all the same, with all due respect to Saska Grunin, this is a promising young guy who started knocking on the first team, but for all the positive coincidences, he would have become a basis in 3-4 seasons. Today’s situation requires another from us, Krutokhvostov explained.
