184. Dmitri Khristich

As of this writing, Dmitri Khristich is without question the greatest Ukrainian player (born and raised there) who 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, once with the Washington Capitals and once 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, and he won a World Hockey Championship Gold Medal with them in 1990.  His proudest moment was representing Ukraine at the 2002 Olympics.
