"During his draft season, Gorbunov appeared in 40 MHL games for Belye Medvedi Chelyabinsk and finished with 10 goals and 22 points to catch the eye of Bill Zito and his scouting staff.. Last season, Gorbunov got off to a lightning fast start against his peer group, producing six goals and 11 points in eight games to earn a promotion to Chelmet Chelyabinsk of the VHL."
"In 48 games with Chelmet, he collected 11 goals and 25 points, which put him sixth on the team in scoring. Not too shabby for a 18-year-old. He also appeared in six postseason games and collected one assist. He played in one additional MHL contest with Belye Medvedi and drew two helpers, giving him a stat line of six goals and 13 points in nine games."
