179. Dimitri Khristich

As of this writing, Dmitri Khristich is without question the greatest Ukranian player (born and raised there) that ever existed in the National Hockey League.  The native of Kiev was a two-time NHL All-Star (1997 & 1999) and was a 70 Point scorer twice; one with the Washington Capitals and one with the Boston Bruins.  Khristich also played for Los Angeles and Toronto over his 811 Game NHL career.

In terms of International accomplishments, Khristich represented the U.S.S.R. until its demise but he was a World Hockey Championship Gold Medalist with them in 1990.  His proudest moment had to be representing Ukraine in the 2002 Olympics.
