Red Wings Prospect Aygon Igor Lariono Takes His Shot in Russia’s KHL, Following in Dad’s Footsteps

Igor Larionov will always be cherished by Detroit Red Wings supporters for his key role in the team’s Stanley Cup triumphs in 1997, 1998, and 2002. Known as one of the NHL’s most intelligent players, the future Hall of Famer earned the nickname “The Professor” for his strategic playmaking.

His son, Igor Larionov Jr., is continuing the family’s hockey legacy by joining the professional ranks under his father’s guidance. Igor Jr. recently signed a contract with KHL’s SKA St. Petersburg, where Igor Sr. serves as the head coach.

Elder Larionov assumed the coaching position at SKA St. Petersburg after leaving Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod, the team he led for three seasons—the same team where Igor Jr. spent his last three playing years. Born in Detroit during his father’s Red Wings tenure in 1998, Igor Jr.’s hockey journey included playing for Detroit Honey Baked Hockey Club, Quebec’s Lempert, Muskegon Lumberjacks, and Windsor Spitfires.

The Red Wings’ historic acquisition of Igor Larionov from the San Jose Sharks in 1995 led to the formation of the legendary “Russian Five,” which featured Larionov alongside Sergei Fedorov, Slava Kozlov, Vladimir Konstantinov, and Slava Fetisov. Larionov was instrumental in Detroit’s back-to-back Stanley Cup wins in 1997 and 1998, and again helped secure the championship in 2002. With 169 goals and 475 assists totaling 644 points, Larionov ranks 17th in scoring among Russian-born NHL players.

Fan Take: This news highlights the powerful legacy of one of hockey’s greatest minds being passed down to the next generation, promising exciting continuity in the sport. Hockey fans should watch closely, as the Larionov duo could bring fresh energy and strategic brilliance to the international stage.
