With the capital club he was runner-up there in his first season . In the middle of the 2003/04 season he broke his tent in Latvia and returned to the Ukraine, where he signed with HK Sokil Kiev , who was active in the Belarusian extra league in addition to the domestic league . After becoming Ukrainian champion three times with Sokil, Hnidenko moved to Belarus in 2006, where he was noticed by playing in the extra league with Sokil. He played four years in Belarus for HK Vitebsk before moving to HK Liepājas Metalurgs in 2010 . The Latvians also played in the Belarusian extra league , but also competed in the domestic league at the same time . Although he was able to win the Latvian championship title straight away with his team in Liepāja, he only stayed there for a year. Then he went to HK Berkut , the successor club of his home club, back to Kiev, where he played in the newly founded Professional Hockey League . In 2013 he moved within the league to HK Kompanjon-Naftohas Kiew , with whom he was again Ukrainian champion. After the game in Ukraine was stopped because of the war there in 2014, he moved again to HK Vitebsk in the Belarusian extra league . In 2015 he moved back to Ukraine, where he first played for HK Generals Kiev , where he was voted the best striker in the league, and since 2016 for HK Kremenchuk , with whom he became Ukrainian runner-up in 2017.
