Playing career edit

Like most Kazakhstani professionals, Starchenko has played in the Torpedo Ust-Kamenogorsk system. He spent 2003-04 with Barys Astana in the Kazakhstan Hockey Championship, scoring 11 goals in his first season of senior pro hockey, and then played the next four seasons with Kazzinc-Torpedo. He had a 14-goal, 25-point season in 2006-07, and was signed by Barys Astana in 2008. He finished his first KHL season with 5 goals and 16 points.[1]

Following 14 seasons in the KHL playing exclusively within Barys, Starchenko left the club as a free agent and was signed to a one-year contract to join Russian club, HC Spartak Moscow, for the 2022–23 season on 18 July 2022.[2] In his lone season with Spartak, Starchenko notched 7 goals and 15 points through 52 regular season games.

On 1 July 2023, Starchenko as a free agent opted to return to original club, Barys Astana, agreeing to a one-year contract for the 2023–24 season.[3]
