Norwegian goalkeeper Henrik Haukeland is reported to have agreed terms with KHL club Traktor Chelyabinsk. The move would follow his standout performance at the World Championship.
Henrik Haukeland led Norway to a historic bronze medal at this year's World Championship. He was named the tournament's best goalkeeper for his performances.
According to Czech journalist Vojtech Tuma, Haukeland has signed a two-year contract with Traktor Chelyabinsk. He would leave German club Straubing Tigers, where one year remains on his current deal.
A move to the KHL has drawn attention because of reactions to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Reports also suggest the transfer could affect Haukeland's role with the Norwegian national team.
