PG Cougars General Manager and Head Coach Mark Lamb made a small splash ahead of Thursday’s WHL Trade Deadline acquiring 19-year-old defenceman Aleksey Chichkin from the Regina Pats in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2027.
Chichkin 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 in Regina, Chichkin played with the Calgary Hitmen in 2023-24, where he accumulated ten points in 61 games.
“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.”
The Cougars are back in action tonight and Wednesday against the Vancouver Giants from CN Centre.
Puck drop for both games is 7pm.
