Kirill Tulupov (born April 23, 1988) is a retired Russian professional ice hockey player who most recently played for HPK in Finland's Liiga. He concluded his playing career in October 2016.
Playing career
Tulupov started his hockey journey in Russia before relocating to Canada, where he participated in 172 games within the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), representing both the Chicoutimi Saguenéens and Victoriaville Tigres from 2006 through 2009. During the 2009–10 season, he competed for HC Slovan Bratislava in Slovakia. The next season featured a short tenure with KHL’s HC Spartak Moscow, alongside spells in the VHL and Kazakhstan leagues.
In 2011, Tulupov signed with the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League (AHL), appearing in 33 contests. The 2012–13 campaign saw him divide his time between the KHL—playing for Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg and Amur Khabarovsk—and the CHL’s Arizona Sundogs. For the 2013–14 season, he joined the ECHL’s Gwinnett Gladiators, followed by a contract with Denmark’s Frederikshavn White Hawks.
Tulupov returned to the KHL during 2014–15 with Vityaz Podolsk, then moved to the ECHL’s Wichita Thunder. After being traded from the Orlando Solar Bears to the Rapid City Rush, he renewed his contract on July 2, 2015. He contributed an assist in the first game of the 2015–16 season but was released on October 21, 2015.
In April 2016, Tulupov inked a deal with Finnish Liiga club HPK, where he wrapped up his professional playing career later that year.
