DU Players May Want To Add Russian Classes

(above) DU Alum Mark Rycroft will play in Russia next season

Comrades,

We may have to start a Russian Edition of LetsGoDU, as we have just learned from "Jori" that DU alum Mark Rycroft has signed a contract with HC Dynamo of the Russian Super League. Rycroft will join DU alum Wade Dubielewicz in the Super League this upcoming season.

The Russian press release follows and we could clean it up for you, but its time we all started learning Russian if we want to follow our hockey alums.

Mark Raykrota will be an experienced addition at forward for the Dynamo next season.

Raycrofta, who recently just turned 30 years old, has experience in many North American leagues. Of interest, of course, was his career in the NHL. Raykrofta's NHL statistics are as follows: 226 games, 46 (21 +25) points and 113 penalty minutes over three seasons in the St. Louis Blues "(2001/02, 2003/04, 2005/06) and one (2006 / 07) - in "Colorado Evelansh (that's "Avalanche" to you and me)."

Хоккеист, которому всего несколько дней назад исполнилось 30 лет, за свою богатую карьеру поиграл во многих североамериканских лигах.

Наш интерес, разумеется, больше всего вызывает НХЛ.

Там статистика у Райкрофта выглядит следующим образом: 226 матчей, 46 (21+25) очков и 113 минут штрафа за три сезона в "Сент-Луис Блюз" (2001/02, 2003/04, 2005/06) и один (2006/07) — в "Колорадо Эвеланш."
