As a player

By then he had played in the Soviet league at Dinamo Minsk and Dynamo Moscow since 1984 . From 1991 to 1993 he tried his hand at the USA and Canada, but did not make the leap to the NHL . So he moved to the 1993/94 season in the German first division to the Schwenninger Wild Wings . With them he also succeeded in the first season in the newly founded German Ice Hockey League .
At the beginning of the 1995/96 season he had a short guest appearance at SC Bern before he moved back to the DEL for the Krefeld Penguins . Here he became a top goal scorer and crowd favorite over the next five seasons. In 2000 he moved to the Revierlöwen Oberhausen and played here one more season before ending his career in the 2nd Bundesliga at SC Bietigheim-Bissingen . He ended this after a last season in 2005/06 with the Heilbronner Falken with the announcement to settle in his Belarusian homeland in the future and to work as a coach.
Contrary to his announcement, he played in the 2006/07 season for the Belarusian club HK Junost Minsk . After eight games in the following season, he finally ended his career.
