Igor Sergeyevich Mirnov (b: September 19, 1984) is a Russian professional ice hockey player with HC Sibir Novosibirsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Born in Moscow, Mirnov developed in the HC Dynamo Moscow hockey system. The young prospect rose up through Dynamo ranks with NHL star Alexander Ovechkin and became the club’s leader after Ovechkin’s departure for the NHL. Mirnov was drafted by the Ottawa Senators during the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. Since the draft he established himself as a Super League elite scorer with HC Dynamo, even becoming the club’s captain for the beginning of the 2007-08 season. Though last season he struggled with the club and was transferred to HC Metallurg (Magnitogorsk), where he once again found his scoring touch.[1]
