Playing career

edit

Lyamin is a product of the CSKA Moscow ice hockey system. The young defenceman spent started playing for the Super League (Russia 1) club during the 2003–04 season at just the age of 16.[1] He was a longtime member of the U18 and the U20 national teams and was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft with the 58th overall pick in the second round. After the draft, Lyamin spent another two seasons with CSKA before signing a new deal with HC Khimik, where he played through the 2007–08 season. In 2008, he signed with Spartak Moscow.

On 24 May 2011, Lyamin signed a two-year deal with Avangard Omsk.[2]

After two seasons with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk, Lyamin left as a free agent to sign a two-year contract starting from the 2017–18 season with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg, on May 8, 2017.[3]

In his lone season under contract in 2019–20 with Dynamo Moscow, Lyamin added 2 goals and 8 points in 54 games from the blueline. With the playoffs cancelled after completion of the first-round due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lyamin left the club as a free agent.[4]

After a well travelled 2020-21 season, split between Spartak Moscow and a return to Dynamo Moscow, as well as a season ending stint in the Polish Hockey League, Lyamin returned to the KHL in agreeing to a contract with HC Vityaz on 4 July 2021.[5]
