Hockey player Siarhei Kastsitsyn to become a Russian citizen
Belarus-born Avangard Omsk forward is set to get the Russian passport at the beginning of the Continental Hockey League season.
According to the website Arena55, Kastsitsyn will not be a legionary any longer, most probably. In the new CHL regulations, which will be okayed soon, a hockey player with a Russian passport is not considered a legionary even if he plays for a foreign national team.
Avangard will be able to play one more legionary due to Kastsitsyn's new passport, while Syarhei Kastsitsyn will be able to continue playing for the Belarusian national team.
