Amur Khabarovsk Renews Goalkeeper Damir Shaymardanov's Contract
Amur's Fresh Roster Updates
Hop aboard the hockey train, folks! The Khabarovsk Amur team's got some juicy news for you!
First off, Damir Shaymardanov, our dynamic goalkeeper, has signed a new contract - a two-year deal, with the catch? It's only for one season, according to Khabarovsk Krai Today news agency. With a grin on his face, Damir said, "Thanks to the club management and coaching staff for the trust and the chance to keep growing with Amur Amur. I can't wait for the kick-off of the new Kontinental Hockey League season!"
Speaking of growing, Alexander Galchenyuk Sr. has been appointed as our head coach. A homegrown star from Ufa hockey, Damir made his KHL debut last season. He rocked the goal in 16 games for the "Tigers," with a stunning shutout. Impressively, his save percentage amongst all Amur goalies was a whopping 91.8% - talk about a wall between the pipes!
Now, let's give a quick shout-out to our hometown hero, Kirill Slepyts. He's extended his contract with the Amur hockey club! This guy's a top contender in the Kontinental Hockey League when he's shorthanded, and you better believe we're pumped to have him on our side!
As we dive into the new season, the Amur Khabarovsk team joins the Chernyshev Division for the 2024/2025 season. Keep your eyes peeled for more roster updates on the official Amur Khabarovsk website or your go-to KHL team news platforms. Sergei Lapin, a forward, who played for us from 2022 to 2025, is back with CSKA within "Zvezda"[2], but don't worry, there's plenty more talent where that came from! So, get ready to cheer loud and support our team to victory! Let's make some history, Amur fans!
In the ongoing updates for the Khabarovsk Amur team, we're thrilled to announce the return of one of our local heroes, Kirill Slepyts, who has re-signed with the club. As for sports enthusiasts, get ready to watch some exciting hockey with Alexander Galchenyuk Sr., appointed as our new head coach. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the team and was a standout goalie in Ufa.
