Hoefenmayer signed a one-year contract with KHL Sochi on Friday, per Tony Androckitis of Inside AHL Hockey.
Hoefenmayer had five goals and 21 points across 43 regular-season AHL appearances between Bakersfield and Laval in 2024-25. The 26-year-old defenseman hasn't appeared in an NHL game. Hoefenmayer was an unrestricted free agent this summer after Montreal declined to present him with a qualifying offer.

Hoefenmayer was traded from the Oilers to the Canadiens on Friday in exchange for Jacob Perreault.
Hoefenmayer signed a two-way contract with the Oilers in July, but he hasn't yet made his NHL debut this season. He's made 11 appearances for AHL Bakersfield to begin the year, racking up a goal and seven points. He'll now be in line for a change of scenery, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most or all of the season in the minors.
