Boris Mironov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boris Mironov (born 21 March 1972) is a professional ice hockey defenceman. He was selected in the second round of the 1992 NHL Entry Draft 27th overall, by the Winnipeg Jets.

Mironov only played 65 games for the Jets, however, as in his rookie season he was dealt to the Edmonton Oilers as part of a package to obtain fellow defensman Dave Manson. Despite a dip in his performance immediately after the trade, Mironov's play was good enough to be named to the NHL All-Rookie Team. Mironov spent parts of six seasons as a top-two defenseman with the Oilers before being dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks. During his time in Edmonton, the fans and media often referred to him as BoBo.

After being dealt to Chicago, Mironov's play tailed off, both for the Blackhawks and his subsequent team, the New York Rangers. It is believed that Mironov is being eyed by GMs around the league, as it is believed he would add a veteran presence on the ice.

Mironov is a two-time olympian for the Russian ice hockey team, which won both a bronze and a silver medal when Mironov played for them.

Retired from NHL in 2004
