Arthur Kaliyev (Russian: Артур Калиев; born June 26, 2001) is an Uzbek-born American professional ice hockey forward for the Ontario Reign of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect to the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 33rd overall by the Kings in the second round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[1]
Early life[]
Kaliyev was born in Uzbekistan but his family moved to Staten Island, New York when he was two-years-old and later moved to Michigan at age 13.[2][3] He represents the United States in international competition.[2]
Playing career[]
As a rookie in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) in 2017–18 he scored 31 goals to help the Hamilton Bulldogs to a league championship.[4] He followed that up with 51 goals for the Bulldogs in 2018–19, becoming the youngest player in the OHL to score more than 40 goals that season.[4] He is particularly effective at shooting a one timer.[5] Despite his goal scoring prowess, he was regarded as inconsistent, a weak skater and a weak defender, which may have hurt his standing in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.[6][7][8][9][10]
On June 3, 2020, Kaliyev was signed to a three-year, entry-level by the Los Angeles Kings.[11] Kaliyev made his NHL debut on February 2, 2021, against the Anaheim Ducks and scored his first goal.[12]
