National Hockey League club "Utah Mammoth" officially announced the signing of a contract with Belarusian forward Vadim Moroz. The rookie contract is for two years.

Since June 2022, Vadim has played for Minsk "Dynamo".

Another Belarusian hockey player, Yegor Borykov, who signed a contract in spring, will also continue his career in the "Utah" system.

Defenseman Vlad Kalyachonok signed a contract with "New Jersey". Last season he played for "Dallas" and "Boston", but played a total of 13 matches.

Forward Danila Klimovich, who belongs to the "Vancouver Canucks" system, is moving to the "Philadelphia Flyers". Danila played for Vancouver's farm club "Abbotsford", for which he scored 18 goals and made 16 assists last season. Belarusian goalkeeper Alexey Kolosov plays for "Philadelphia".

It was reported in the spring that Vitaly Pinchuk signed a contract with "Nashville".

If Moroz, Borykov, Pinchuk and Klimovich make their debut in the new NHL season (the season begins in October), and are not sent to farm clubs, then the number of Belarusians who have played and are playing in the strongest league in the world since 1992 will be 23 (currently - 19).

In the 2025-2026 season, eight Belarusians played in the NHL:

Alexei and Ilya Protas ("Washington"), Yegor Sharangovich ("Calgary", he is asking for another club - NN), Nikita Talapilo ("Vancouver"), Alexei Kolosov ("Philadelphia"), Vlad Kalyachonok ("Dallas"), Artem Leushunov ("Chicago"), Ilya Solovyov ("Pittsburgh").
