NIAGARA, ON – The Niagara IceDogs have acquired Seattle Kraken Draft Pick (2023 Round 4, 116th Overall) Andrei Loshko for the 2024-2025 season via waivers.

The deal, which was finalized earlier this week, is seen as a strategic step for the IceDogs as they look to strengthen their core players for the upcoming season.

In his season with Rouyn-Noranda earlier this year, the Belarus born native earned himself 54 points (23 goals, 31 assists) in 51 games. The 6’1” right–winger has been quoted as “a top two-way guy” by Jeff Tambellini of the Kraken, which will add to the IceDogs front and back end.

Loshko is positioned to become a key player for the IceDogs, and his presence on the ice is expected to be a major talking point throughout the season.

IceDogs fans should look forward to a dynamic and well-rounded performance from the 173 pound forward to provide a 200-foot game.

Welcome to Niagara, Andrei.
