Yuri Vladimirovich Kuznetsov (Russian: Юрий Владимирович Кузнецов; born August 10, 1971, in Novosibirsk, Russia)[1][2][3] is a Russian ice hockey coach and former player.

Career Notes

Yuri Kuznetsov reached the highlight of his career in 2001 when he won the Russian Superleague with Metallurg Magnitogorsk, playing on a line with brothers Aleksandr and Yevgeniy Koreshkov from Kazakhstan.[4] This same year he played for the Russian national team in the 2001 IIHF World Championship.

After two successful seasons with Severstal Cherepovets, he was reunited with the Koreshkov brothers in 2004–2005 at his youth club, the Sibir Novosibirsk[4] but all three players left the club during the season without much success.

His career outside of Russia included 2 seasons for the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL right after he was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the 7th round of 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He also played for the Minnesota Moose of the IHL, the Kölner Haie of the DEL and the Milano Vipers of the French League.

Coaching career

In May 2009 PHC Krylya Sovetov announced that Yuri Kuznetsov would be assistant coach to Alexei Kasatonov, the new head coach for the 2009–2010 Vysshaya Liga season, with Vladimir Myshkin being the goaltender coach.[5]
