Playing career
On January 4, 1987, Davydov was playing for the Soviet Union's team at the World Junior Championship. In the infamous Punch-up in Piestany, Davydov was identified as the player who jumped the boards and caused a bench-clearing brawl. Both teams were ejected from the tournament and Canada lost an assured medal.[1]
Davydov was drafted 235th overall by Winnipeg in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. After winning a gold medal as a member of the Unified Team at the 1992 Winter Olympics, he joined the Jets and went on to play in 155 regular season games, scoring 40 goals and 39 assists for 79 points, while accumulating 120 penalty minutes. Between 1995 and 2003, Davydov had spells in France, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Germany, Italy, and also returned to Russia before hanging up his skates.
