Cougars Acquire 6’5 Blue-Liner Chichkin from Regina Pats

PRINCE GEORGE, BC – General Manager and Head Coach Mark Lamb announced today the team has acquired defenceman Aleksey Chichkin (05) from the Regina Pats in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2027.

Chichkin, 19, has played 32 games with the Pats this season, compiling seven points (3-4-7), 55 penalty minutes, and 54 shots on goal. Before his time with the Pats, Chichkin played with the Calgary Hitmen in 2023-24, where he accumulated ten points (1-9-10) over 61 games played. Chichkin stands in at a towering 6’5.

“Aleksey is a big and rangy player that plays physical and makes simple plays,” commented General Manager and Head Coach Mark Lamb. “He will really complement our d-core.”

Over Chichkin’s 93-game WHL career, the Vancouver product owns 17 points (4-13-17), 147 penalty minutes, and 117 shots on goal.
