Hockey Canadian ex-forward of Florida becomes Russian citizen

Canadian foreign player from Lokomotiv (Yaroslavl) David Nemirovsky became Russian citizen. David was born in Toronto, his parents were emigrants from the Soviet Union (they were born in Odessa) and thus it was not very difficult for him to become Russian citizen. Nemirovsky was playing for the NHL club Florida Panters since 1995 to 1999 and scored 38 points in 91 matches (16 goals + 22 assists), SE-Internet correspondent Alexander NABOKOV reports

Now there is a vacant place in the limited three of foreign players in Jaroslavl club. Most likely Ukrainian Vitally Litvinenko who is currently playing on loan at Lada (Tolyatti) will join Vladimir Shakhraichuk and Czech Peterek.
