- Born July 23, 1969
Khristich appeared in the 1997 and 1999 NHL All-Star Games. In the 1998–99 season, he had the highest shooting percentage (20.1%) among players with at least 82 shots (an average of at least one shot per scheduled game). He is the all-time scoring leader for players born and trained in Ukraine.\n', '
Following the 1998-99 season, his second year with the Boston Bruins, Khristich took his club to arbitration and was awarded a $2.8 million salary. Feeling he wasn't worth the money, Bruins General Manager Harry Sinden opted to walk away from the contract making Khristich an unrestricted free agent.\n", '
This marked the first-time ever than an NHL franchise opted to walk away from a player after losing an arbitration case (Sinden would eventually be proven correct, as Khristich, coming off 66- and 71-point seasons, only scored 89 points over the next 3 seasons). Sinden would repeat this move several years later, walking away from defenseman David Tanabe.\n', '
