Playing career[]
Miroshnichenko played as a youth through the junior ranks within the HC Vityaz organization. On 27 December 2020, he moved from within Vityaz to fellow KHL club, Avangard Omsk.[3]

Three months after his diagnosis, Miroshnichenko resumed skating in preparation for the next season.[6]
