(Walpole, MA) -- Moscow native Georgiy Gurianov has been listed in the NHL Central Scouting Mid-Season Rankings. The 6’5” , 200-pounder, who plays for the Walpole Express Jr. B team, was ranked #145 among North American skaters. Despite his Russian passport, Gurianov has been the top scorer in the MJHL all season with a record of 38-27-65 in 29 games. In other accomplishments, he was named to the MJHL All-Star team, and has been selected as the MJHL Offensive Player of the Week three times this season. As a result, the left-handed forward has drawn substantial interest from several Division 1 schools.

“Georgiy is an exceptional player,” said Head Coach Tony Dalessio. “He has an innate sense of where to put the puck and can find the back of the net in situations others simply can’t. I have great confidence that his hockey career is on the rise.”

Gurianov will join several of his Express Jr. B teammates on the All-Star team. The game is set for Jan. 25 at Iorio Arena in Walpole, Mass.
