Athletistic/Hockey. Canadian Dynamo Moscow forward Cédric Paquette has announced that he has started the process of obtaining Russian citizenship. The team already has one naturalized foreign player – American defender Brennan Menell.

“I can’t say anything specific yet. Let’s see what happens. We started working on this issue about three weeks ago. Let’s see what happens next.

I agree with Brennan, if you have been playing in the KHL for several years, you like everything, you want to make a career in this league and you have the opportunity to obtain Russian citizenship, why not take advantage of it? It’s an ideal situation that can help performance in the KHL,” quotes Match TV Paquette.

Paquette spent two seasons in the KHL. The Canadian made his league debut in 2022 with Dynamo Minsk. Paquette played the 2023/2024 season at Dynamo Moscow. In total, the 30-year-old forward played 127 matches in the KHL, scoring 71 (42+29) points. Puckett is also the 2020 Stanley Cup winner with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
