The Prince George Cougars have cleared up their log jam on the back end.
General Manager and Head Coach Mark Lamb traded 20-year-old defenceman Aleksey Chichkin to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for a conditional 2027 5th Round Pick in the WHL Prospects Draft.
Chichkin, appeared in 37 games with the Cougars, registering five points, 24 penalty minutes.
“Chich (Chichkin) has been a really good player for us,” said Lamb. “He’s filled an important role since joining our team and had a great summer. He came into camp in great shape.
This is just part of the business — we have some younger players who need ice time. I’m happy we were able to find a good opportunity for him in Red Deer to continue his career.”
The Cougars are back on the ice tonight (Friday) and Saturday when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds.
