Ivan Dmitriyevich Morozov (; born 5 May 2000) is a Russian professional ice hockey forward who currently plays for HC Spartak Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He was selected 61st overall in the second round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Vegas Golden Knights.
During the 2019âÂÂ20 campaign, Morozov continued to develop as a key player for SKA Saint Petersburg. Recognizing his growth and potential, the club extended his commitment by offering him a new two-year contract. Morozov officially signed the extension on January 29, 2020.
In the 2021âÂÂ22 season, Morozov tallied 4 goals and 8 points over 17 games with SKA before being traded to HC Sochi on December 27, 2021, for the rest of the season. With more responsibilities and playing time at Sochi, he contributed 1 goal and 3 points in only 5 games.
On April 26, 2022, Morozov inked a two-year entry-level deal with the Vegas Golden Knights. Soon after, he joined their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights, on a professional try-out contract to complete the remainder of the 2021âÂÂ22 AHL season.
After spending the entire season with the Henderson Silver Knights, Morozov arranged a return to the KHL for the 2023âÂÂ24 campaign, joining HC Spartak Moscow on loan from the Golden Knights on July 10, 2023. He later committed to Spartak by signing a two-year contract extension on June 17, 2024. Entering the 2025âÂÂ26 season, Morozov was suspended indefinitely for doping, with unconfirmed reports that he had tested positive for cocaine use.
