Vladimir Mikhailovich Denisov (Russian: Владимир Михайлович Денисов) (born June 29, 1984) is a Belarusian professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for Traktor Chelyabinsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He participated at the 2010 IIHF World Championship as a member of the Belarus National men's ice hockey team.[1]

Playing career

Denisov played in the Russian Hockey Super League for HC Lada Togliatti in the 2006-07 season. With ambitions to play in the NHL, Vladimir signed with affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, the Lake Erie Monsters, in the AHL for the 2007-08 season.[2]

While using the season with the Monsters to adjust to the North American game, Denisov impressed with his physicality and signed his first NHL contract with the New York Rangers for the 2008-09 season on July 10, 2008.[3] Denisov was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, to start the season. Vladimir eclipsed previous highs for goals and assists, however frustrated from lack of opportunity with the Rangers he requested a trade in January but played the season out.[4]

On September 5, 2009, Vladimir was invited to the Washington Capitals training camp for the 2009-10 season.[5] Failing to earn a contract with the Capitals, and rejecting the option to try out with the Capitals affiliate, the Hershey Bears, Denisov returned to Belarus where he signed for HC Dinamo Minsk of the KHL on September 29, 2009.[6] Denisov appeared on the Blueline in 42 games with Minsk and posted 14 points but as the team was unable to advance to the playoffs, he was not tendered a new contract.

On September 29, 2010, Denisov moved to the Swiss National League A, signing to a one-year contract with HC Ambrì-Piotta.[7]

Denisov returned to Dinamo Minsk as a main-stay on the blueline for the following two seasons before signing a contract with KHL rival Salavat Yulaev Ufa for two-years on May 22, 2013.[8] Before the season commenced, Denisov was traded by Ufa without having played a game to Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod on September 9, 2013.[9]
