Alexei Yuryevich "Alex"Zhamnov (Russian:Алексей Юрьевич Жамнов; born October 1, 1970) is a former professionalice hockeycentre who played in theNational Hockey League (NHL) for theWinnipeg Jets,Chicago Blackhawks,Philadelphia Flyers andBoston Bruins. He is currently serving the head coach ofHC Spartak Moscow of theKontinental Hockey League (KHL).[1] He previously served as general manager ofVityaz Chekhov andAtlant Moscow Oblast and was the head coach of theRussia men's national ice hockey team.
Alexei Zhamnov was drafted by theWinnipeg Jets in the 4th round, 77th overall, in the1990 NHL Entry Draft. After the 1992 Olympics, he began his career with the Jets in the1992–93 season.
Zhamnov centred the Jets formidable "Olympic line" with teammatesKeith Tkachuk andTeemu Selanne, with all three being Olympians for their respective countries.
Zhamnov's tenure with the Jets was very successful, having managed over a point per game in each of his four seasons there. His best season was in the lockout-shortened1994-95 season, where he led the Jets in scoring and finished third in the entire league. Of particular note was when he scored5 goals against theLos Angeles Kings on April 1, 1995. The game would ultimately end in a 7–7 tie.
After the Jets moved to Phoenix, Zhamnov was traded by thePhoenix Coyotes (having never suited up for them) to theChicago Blackhawks in exchange forJeremy Roenick in the summer of1996. While he no longer maintained his point per game scoring pace with the Blackhawks, he ironically had offensive success with Roenick's childhood friendTony Amonte. During his tenure with the Blackhawks he would serve as team captain from2002 to2004.
On 20 February 2004, Zhamnov was then traded by Chicago to thePhiladelphia Flyers in exchange forJim Vandermeer,Colin Fraser, and a second-round selection in the2004 NHL Entry Draft.[2][3]
On 4 August 2005, Zhamnov signed a three-year deal with theBoston Bruins as afree agent.[4] However having played just 24 games into his first season with the Bruins into the2005–06 season, Zhamnov was often injured and placed on the long-term injury list by the Boston Bruins on January 7, 2006 after suffering a career ending broken ankle in what would be his final professional game in a 6-3 victory over theTampa Bay Lightning. Zhamnov subsequently retired in 2006.[5][6]
