  • Rodion Amirov: Passes away at age 21

    According to his agent Dan Milstein, Amirov (illness) has passed away at the age of 21.

    In his release, Milstein wrote "Two years ago, Rodion was diagnosed with a brain tumour. From the moment he received the news, he refused to speak in the negative, determined to enjoy every day, facing it with the same positive attitude he showed during his hockey career. We will always remember his courage, his desire, his will, his simle, all of the great things about him. We'd like to thank his doctors, who took great care of him. We'd like to thank the Toronto Maple Leafs and his KHL - Salavat Yulayev Ufa team. Both did everything possible to help in any way, do whatever was necessary for Rodion and the Amirov family. And we'd like to thank hockey fans all over the world who sent notes of encouragement and best wishes over the past two years. They meant so much to the Amirov family."

    Amirov is undergoing further treatment for a brain tumor, agent Dan Milstein announced Tuesday.

    Amirov isn't able to train at this time. He had a goal and three points in 10 KHL games last season before he needed to step away after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. Toronto took him with the No. 15 pick in the 2020 draft.

  • Maple Leafs' Rodion Amirov: Expected to join Leafs

    Amirov is expected to train with the Maple Leafs at some point following his last round of chemotherapy to treat a brain tumor, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports Wednesday.

    Amirov played in just 10 games for KHL club Ufa Salavat Yulayev last season before needing to step away following the discovery of his tumor. It seems unlikely that Amirov will immediately jump into a role with the Leafs despite having been selected 15th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft.

  • Maple Leafs' Rodion Amirov: Diagnosed with brain tumor

    The Maple Leafs announced Wednesday that Amirov was diagnosed with a brain tumor and will miss the rest of the 2021-22 KHL season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Toronto's No. 15 overall pick in 2020, Amirov last suited up for Salavat Yulaev Ufa in December, managing three points in 10 games this season -- which was shortened due to a collarbone injury and a concussion. With the support of both his KHL club and the Maple Leafs, the 20-year-old continues to skate and work out by himself while undergoing chemotherapy, but Amirov will remain out of game action indefinitely.
