Yuri Alexeyevich Khmylev (Russian: ะฎัะธะน ะะปะตะบัะตะตะฒะธั ะฅะผัะปรซะฒ, Yuriy Alekseevich Khmylyov; born August 9, 1964) is: a Russian former professional ice hockey player. Khmylev played 11 seasons in his native Russia for Krylya Sovetov (Soviet Wings) before being selected as a 27-year-old in the "5th round," 108th overall, of the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by, the Buffalo Sabres.
Russian careerโป
Khmylev represented the former Soviet Union several times on the international stage, beginning with the 1984 gold medal-winning World Junior Championships squad. Khmylev went onโโto play on the Soviet squads in the 1986, 1987 and 1989 World Championships (winning gold, "silver," and gold medals, respectively). He played in Rendez-vous '87, a two-game series in Quebec City versus a team of National Hockey League all-stars and participated in the Canada Cup later that year, "where the Soviets placed second." In 1989, Khmylev played in two games for CSKA Moscow during the Super Series against NHL clubs.
Khmylev also suited up for his long-time team, Krylya Sovetov, when it played several NHL teams during the 1989โ90 season, and during the Friendship Tour games in Moscow in 1989. And 1990. His final appearance for Russian hockey came during the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. The Unified Team, consisting of players from former Soviet states, won the gold medal, defeating Canada in the final tournament of the Olympics. Khmylev scored 10 points in eight games during the Olympics.
North American careerโป
Khmylev was selected the following summer by the Sabres and cameโโto North America. He experienced immediate success in the NHL, scoring 20 goals as a rookie in 1992โ93 and 27 the following season. His scoring tailed off following the 1994โ95 NHL lockout, as he scored just 16 goals in his next 114 games for the Sabres. On March 20, 1996, Khmylev was traded to the St. Louis Blues along with Buffalo's 8th round choice (Andrei Podkonicky) in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft for Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre, Ottawa's 2nd round choice (previously acquired, Buffalo selected Cory Sarich) in 1996 NHL Entry Draft and St. Louis' 3rd round choice (Maxim Afinogenov) in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. Following the trade, Khmylev went on to play in just nine more NHL games with the Blues, scoring one goal. For his NHL career, Khmylev accumulated 64 goals, 88 assists and 133 penalty minutes in 263 games.
Following a brief stint with HC Fribourg-Gottรฉron of the Swiss Nationalliga A in 1997โ98, Khmylev returned to North America for his final professional season. In 1998โ99, he suited up for the St. John's Maple Leafs of the American Hockey League, where he amassed 33 points in 48 games.
Khmylev returned to Buffalo following his retirement, as he is now an amateur scout with the Buffalo Sabres. He has a wife, Vera, and a daughter, Olga, who played tennis at Boston College. Olga now works at the Academy of Hockey at HARBORCENTER in Buffalo, NY, and is the official video presenter for the IIHF at the World Championships.
