Vladimir Anatolievich Vorobiev (Russian: Владимир Анатольевич Воробьёв; born November 2, 1972) is a Russian former professional ice hockey player. He was selected in the tenth round of the 1992 NHL Entry Draft, 240th overall, by the New York Rangers, and played 33 games in the National Hockey League with the Rangers and Edmonton Oilers between 1997 and 1999. The vast majority of his career, which lasted from 1989 to 2011, was spent in the Russian Super League and its successor, the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Internationally Vorobiev played for the Russian national team at the 1995 and 1996 World Championships. After his retirement Vorobiev has worked in coaching roles in the KHL, and currently is an assistant coach with Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg.

Playing career

Vorobiev did not come to North America until the 1996–97 NHL season, five years after he had been drafted. He split time between the New York Rangers, the Hartford Wolf Pack, and the Binghamton Rangers of the American Hockey League (AHL). He was traded to the Edmonton Oilers and spent two seasons in their system, (playing only two games at the NHL level, despite scoring a goal in both games) before returning to Russia.
