Gudlevsky has signed a contract with the Austrian league club – Hockey

A contract with 28-year-old Gudlevsky has been signed until the end of this season. The team reports that the Latvian will arrive in Villach on Sunday.

“We have signed a contract with a top professional who has extensive experience in international games. He is a very long goalkeeper, but that does not prevent him from being fast and making impressive rebounds,” said Gerald Rauhvalds, the team’s sports director.

The club’s website especially highlights the performance of the Latvian national team goalkeeper in the quarter-finals of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, in which he repelled 55 out of 57 opponents’ shots, but the team conceded to the Canadian hockey team with a 1: 2.

11 teams play in the Austrian Open Championship or ICEHL League (formerly known as EBEL League). Nine clubs are from Austria, but one each from Slovakia and Hungary.

Gudļevskis started the previous season in the Continental Hockey League (KHL) team in Riga “Dinamo”, but at the beginning of October he was released. A few months later, he joined the Fischtown Pinguins, which plays in the German DEL League.

Gudļevskis scored an average of 2.65 goals in 25 DEL games and averaged 90.41% throws. Only five of these 25 Fischtown Pinguins did not score.

Meanwhile, in the ranks of “Dinamo”, he won three matches in nine matches at the beginning of the season, conceded 3.45 discs on average and repelled 86.3% of the throws.

Gudlevsky 2018/2019. In the 2006 season, he returned from North America, averaging 2.37 reels in 31 KHL games and repelling 91.0%. He remained unbeaten in two matches, but in the second part of the season he was competed by the Russian Timur Bilalov.

Back in 2013, after successfully holding the World Championship in Gudlevsky’s National Hockey League (NHL) draft with a total number of 124, Tampa “Lightning” was chosen. That year, he began his career in North America and also made his debut in the world’s strongest hockey league.

Latvian 2013/2014. The season began with the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) team in Florida ‘s “Everblades”, but soon received an invitation to the “Lightning” farm club in the American Hockey League (AHL) Syracuse “Crunch”, where he spent most of the season. In February 2014, the goalkeeper perfectly defended Latvia’s honor at the Sochi Olympics, but at the end of the season made his debut as a member of “Lightning”. Thus, Gudlevsky became the first player in history to play in the NHL, AHL, ECHL and Olympics in one season.

True, in the four years he spent in the Lightning system, Gudlevsky played mostly for the Crunch team.

Before the 2017/2018 season, Gudlevsky signed a contract with another NHL unit, the Islanders of New York, but he spent the entire season on the AHL team at the Soundport Tigers in Bridgeport. In his ranks, he conceded an average of 2.83 puck in 37 games last season and rebounded 89.7%.

In total, Gudļevskis has played in three NHL Regular Championship games and two Stanley Cup matches.

Gudļevskis has represented the Latvian U-18, U-20 and adult national teams at the World Championships and the Sochi Olympic Games.

Before starting his career in North America, the goalkeeper spent several years in the Riga “Dinamo” system, playing two matches in the adult team in the 2012/13 season.
