Bemidji State defenseman Ruslan Pedan has signed a two-year contract with HC Sochi of the Kontinental Hockey League, forgoing his final year of collegiate eligibility, to stay home and begin his professional hockey career in Russia.<\/p>\n

“Ruslan made an big impact on our team as a freshman and has been a consistent defensman for us since,” said BSU coach Tom Serratore in a news release. “He is a big, physical player who logged a lot of minutes for us the past three seasons. He will leave a hole on our blueline, but that also provides an opportunity for another player to step in, gain experience and play a more significant role for us in 2016-17.”<\/p>\n

Pedan appeared in all 39 games for the Beavers in 2015-16, marking the third consecutive season he has seen action in every one of BSU’s games. He registered nine points (three goals, six assists) and led the team in plus\/minus rating for the second straight season (plus-12).<\/p>\n

Pedan accumulated 32 career points (nine goals, 23 assists) in 115 games with the Beavers.<\/p>\n

In addition, Pedan was a two-time member of the WCHA All-Academic Team and earned honors as a WCHA Scholar-Athlete in 2015-16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
