If the Spitfires are going to make the playoffs and go on a bit of a run, they’ll need centre Alexander Khokhlachev at his best.

Judging by his recent performace, KoKo is getting hot at just the right time. 

For his outstanding play last week, Khokhlachev is our Tecumseh and South Walkerville Vision Centres Player of the Week for the period ended Sunday, February 19th.

In three games, KoKo put up two goals and two assists, as the Spitfires took three of a possible six points from Plymouth, London and Owen Sound. 

Khokhlachev had an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Whalers on Thursday night, another helper the following night in a 4-1 win at the Knights, and a pair of goals in a huge performance Sunday – an eventual 5-4 OT loss to the Attack at the WFCU Centre.

In his second season with the Spitfires, KoKo has put up solid numbers: with 22 goals and 40 assists in 52 games. That ranks him first in assists on the club, second in goals and second in points.

League-wide, Khokhlachev is tied for 10th in assists and 21st in points. 

Since arriving in Windsor in September of 2010, KoKo has been better than a point-a-game player, putting up 138 points in 119 career games. 

The entire staff at Tecumseh and South Walkerville Vision Centres congratulates Alex on his outstanding play.
