Vitālijs Samoilovs

Vitālijs Samoilovs (Russian: Виталий Анатольевич Самойлов; born 17 April 1962) is a former Latvian professional ice hockey player who played in the Soviet Championship League.

Also that season, he backstopped Riga to a surprising second-place finish in the Championship League.

The following year, however, an injury caused him to lose his starting job in Riga to upstart Arturs Irbe and he never again regained his top form.
