NORFOLK, VA — The Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL officially announced today they have received forward Artem Ivanyuzenkov (EYE-ven-YO-Shehn-kov) on a loan from the San Jose Barracuda in the American Hockey League (AHL). The Barracuda are AHL affiliates of the NHL’s San Jose Sharks.
Ivanyuzenkov, 6-foot-3, 225lbs, joins the Admirals after starting the season with the Barracuda, then was sent down to the Orlando Solar Bears (ECHL) on October 29. After eight days in Orlando, the Podolsk, Russia native was called back up by the Barracuda. Ivanyuzenkov ended up playing in just one game with the Barracuda before being loaded to the Admirals on Friday.
