Moncton Wildcats News Release
Kabanov in town:
Kirill Kabanov, the Wildcats 7th overall pick in this year's European draft, arrived in Moncton last night. The 6 foot 3 inch, 178 pound native of Moscow, Russia is here to visit the area as part of the process of possibly joining the team. His status with regard to playing with the Wildcats this season has not been confirmed since he has not obtained a transfer card from the Russian IHF.
The IIHF may have to rule on the situation after written submissions are presented. According to Danny Flynn, the Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations for the Wildcats, this process could take at least two weeks. Kabanov played for Moscow Spartak last season and was a member of the Russian under-18 national team.
