PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Cougars have acquired defenceman Aleksey Chichkin (05) from the Regina Pats in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2027.

The 19 year old Chichkin, from Vancouver, B.C., 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.”

Currently in his 93-game WHL career, Chichkin has 17 points (4-13-17), 147 penalty minutes, and 117 shots on goal.
