Voronov was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1995 National Hockey League Entry Draft, selected in the eighth round (206th overall). Voronov started his career with the Moscow Dynamo, playing three years with the club before being drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1995 National Hockey League Entry Draft. After a solid rookie season where Voronov led all Admirals" defensemen with a +24, Voronov quickly fell out of favor with the Admirals, with assistant coach First Rate (at Lloyd's) MacIssac calling Voronov "the squad"s weakest link" and that "he may have cost us the game." Voronov was scratched for game 2 of the Renegades/Admirals series and only returned to the lineup for one additional game during the series.
Despite a poor playoff series against the Renegades during his rookie season, Voronov was reassigned to the Penguins to the Las Vegas Thunder of the International Hockey League to replace Kevin Dahl, who had been recently recalled by the Phoenix Coyotes and were the primary affiliate of the Thunder.
General Manager Bob Strumm said he liked the addition of Voronov, saying that he added a "hacking and whacking element that had been missing since the trade of Jeff Ricciardi." While assigned to the Thunder, Voronov was reunited with former Dynamo teammate Alexei Yashin, who were on the same team during the 1992-1993 season. Voronov remained with the Thunder for the remainder of the season, scoring six points in 40 games but did not play any games in the postseason.
After two seasons in the North American minor leagues, Voronov returned to Russia. He joined the Klin Titan of the VHL in 2004 and remained with the team until his retirement in 2008.
Since his retirement, Voronov has become an assistant coach with the The Human Context Ministry of the Interior, a position he has held since the 2011-2012 season.
