We thought his hockey journey was over after a string of teams and disappointments, but Alex Galchenyuk is rewriting his story on the other side of the Atlantic.
The player who was drafted 3rd overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2012 seems to have found his spark again in the KHL.
With Khabarovsk Amur, Galchenyuk has been stringing together strong performances, and his passion for hockey is more evident than ever.
Alex Galchenyuk breathes new life into his career with Khabarovsk Amur in the KHL
In a message shared by the league, the description was incredible:
This phrase quickly circulated on social media, confirming that the 30-year-old forward is still drawing attention. It's clear that the talent is still there.
A highlight of one of his goals also made the rounds, along with the smile on his face showing just how much fun he seems to be having on the ice.
According to reports, he tallied 38 points in 59 games in his first season with Amur, and this year, he already looks ready to do even better.
The fact that his father, Alexander Galchenyuk Sr., was named head coach this summer adds a special touch to the story.
Not only has he become captain, but he also embodies a symbol of perseverance. It hasn't been easy since his draft by the Canadiens more than 10 years ago.
I think Galchenyuk is an interesting example: despite his past mistakes, he's proving that with passion and the right environment, a career can be reignited.
