On May 18, 2012 Barys Astana team managers refused to extend the contract with Kevin Dallman. The official reason goes like this: “We have agreed with his agent that if the team fulfills its task and reaches the final of the tournament, we will return to discussing the contract’s extension. But the team didn’t reached the final and Kevin, himself, didn’t show his best skills in the play-off. The issue in question was whether to prolong his contract or not. The hockey player asked for a four-year contract and the sum was quite large. That is why the decision was made not to extend the contract,” Barys president Nurlan Orazbayev said.[5] It was later announced that former Barys captain Kevin Dallman had signed a two-year contract with SKA Saint-Petersburg on May 31, 2012.[6]
His uncle, Marty Dallman, played six games for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the late 1980s and played for Austria at the 1994 Winter Olympics.[7]
