Ivan Nikolayevich Miroshnichenko (Russian: Иван Николаевич Мирошниченко; born 4 February 2004) is a Russian professional ice hockey forward who currently plays for the Hershey Bears in the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect under contract with the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League (NHL). Miroshnichenko was drafted 20th overall by the Capitals in the 2022 NHL entry draft. On December 20, 2023, Miroshnichenko set a league record in his NHL debut as the longest surname on an NHL jersey at 14 characters long, surpassing Jamie Langenbrunner and John Vanbiesbrouck. Though this ties John Brackenborough for the longest surname for an NHL player, Brackenborough played prior to the league's adoption of surnames on jerseys.
