Sergei Anatolievich Kharin (Russian: Сергей Анатольевич Харин; born February 20, 1963) is a Russian former professional ice hockey player.

Playing career

[edit]

He played briefly in the National Hockey League and the Soviet Hockey League, for the Winnipeg Jets and Krylia Sovetov Moscow. He was the first Soviet-born player to play a regular season game for the Jets. He also played on the Soviet Union's 1987 Canada Cup team, as well as for the Muskegon Fury in the United Hockey League.

Coaching career

[edit]

On January 22, 2016, Kharin was named the Director of Hockey Operations for the Flint Firebirds of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).[1] Following the firing of former head coach John Gruden on February 17, 2016, Kharin was named the interim head coach of the Firebirds.[2] The next day, OHL commissioner David Branch suspended the Firebirds' owner Rolf Nilsen and his appointees on the management and coaching staff, including Kharin, from hockey operations until further notice.[3]

Personal

[edit]

Sergei's son Anton played for three years at Rochester Institute of Technology before joining the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the International Hockey League in 2009. Sergei, who played for the Muskegon team when it was known as the Fury, came out of retirement to play one more game on April 10, 2009, sharing a forward line with his son on the Lumberjacks. They became the first father and son to skate together in the IHL.[4]
