(MACON, Ga.) – The Macon Mayhem, proud members of the SPHL, announced Tuesday that they have signed forward Yaroslav Yevdokimov and defenseman Andrey Simonchyk.
Yevdokimov, 31, from Chelyabinsk, Russia, played 29 games last season with the ECHL’s Tulsa Oilers, scoring 18 points (7g, 11a) in his time with the team. During the 2022-23 season, he recorded 101 points (52g, 49a) with the FPHL’s Mississippi Sea Wolves in just 50 games while making his North American debut.
Yevdokimov has spent parts of five seasons in the KHL, which is widely regarded as one of the world’s top hockey leagues outside of North America, since 2015-16. He also competed for Kazakhstan at the D1A World Championships during the 2017-18 cycle, where he recorded two assists in five games.
Simonchyk, 21, from Clinton, N.Y., was part of the opening night roster for the Mayhem, and played in six games, five of which were on a professional tryout. He then signed with the FPHL’s Carolina Thunderbirds, where he has since played in 19 games, scoring two goals and an assist with a +2 rating.
