Ryan MacInnis, son of legendary defenceman, to continue hockey career overseas

Ryan MacInnis, a former 2nd round draft pick (43rd overall) of the Arizona Coyotes, is leaving North America to continue his professional hockey career. The 26-year-old forward has signed a contract with Amur Khabarovsk of the KHL for the remainder of this year.

MacInnis is the son of Hockey Hall-of-Fame defenceman Al MacInnis. He has managed 27 games in the NHL in his career so far, all of them with the Columbus Blue Jackets except one game with the Buffalo Sabres last season. He's spent the rest of his time in the AHL.

MacInnis joins a long list of Canadians and Americans who have chosen to play in the KHL this season despite the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Many players from surrounding countries such as Finland, Sweden, Slovakia, and others, have chosen not to sign in the KHL because of the Ukraine invasion.
