He was drafted in the 9th round (209th overall) in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers. He played four games for them in the 2000-2001 season before being released. After that he was a player for Dynamo Moscow since 2002 until 2010 when he signed for Barys Astana.

International career

Yeremeyev has competed for Kazakhstan more times than any other goalie in the country's history by far.[1] In the 1994 World Championships, he was Evgeni Nabokov's teammate for the three years with Kazzinc-Torpedo as well as the lone international competition that Nabokov represented Kazakhstan. He has competed at two Olympics as well as 10 World Championships. Yeremeyev's top international performance came at the 1998 Winter Olympics, where he carried an upstart Kazakhstan team all the way to the quarterfinals where Canada beat them 4-1.[2]
