Knights Ink Belarusian Import Pick Vladislav Kolyachonok

The London Knights announced today that the team has agreed to an OHL Standard Players Agreement with Belarussian import pick, Vladislav Kolyachonok. Kolyachonok was the Knights’ second round selection in the 2018 CHL Import Draft, taken 67th overall.

Playing for the U18 National Belarus team last season, the skilled defenseman scored five goals and 20 points, in 43 games played. Elite Prospects had him listed as playing for Dinamo Minsk in Belarus before signing the Players Agreement.

The 2001-born defenseman will be entering his NHL Draft eligible season.

“We are very pleased to have signed Vladislav and look forward to him playing in London next season,” said London Knights’ Associate General Manager, Rob Simpson. “Vladislav is a strong addition to our team and will be a great two-way threat from our blue-line.”
