Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I tīmata a Spiridonov i tana mahi ki a CSKA Moscow e tākaro ana i roto i to rātau kapa tuarua. I neke atu ia ki te takaro i te hockey rangatahi mo nga Smiths Falls Bears i te Canadian Junior Hockey League me nga London Knights o te Ontario Hockey League i mua i tana whiwhinga e nga Edmonton Oilers, 241st katoa, i te 1998
He aha? I noho a Spiridonov i nga tau e toru e whai ake nei ki te takaro i nga riiki iti, e pai ana mo te Grand Rapids Griffins, Springfield Falcons, Tallahassee Tiger Sharks me te Hamilton Bulldogs. Kaore ia i kaha ki te takaro i te NHL engari i te 2001, ka hoki a Spiridonov ki Russia.
