1. Ivan Chekhovich

If you go back to the 2018 Vegas Rookie Faceoff, you may just remember Ivan Chekhovich’s name.

The 20-year-old Russian winger was best forward on the ice. Although that’s all she wrote for Chekhovich’s time as a Shark in the preseason, however Chekhovich’s success did not stop there.

Chekhovich has flourished with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, leading his teammates in assists (59) and points (101).

Furthermore, along with his 42 goals, Chekhovich ranks in the top three among all QMJHL skaters with his impressive stat line.

Chekhovich’s hockey sense, deceptive skating ability and stealthy shot on the wing serves as powerful offensive tools for any team looking to bolster their scoring prowess.

In his third season with the Drakkar, Chekhovich has led his team to the top of the Eastern Division. However, he’s not finished as they seek the crown of the QMJHL.

But when Chekhovich wraps up his time at the junior level, he will soon earn a well-deserved spot at the forefront of the Barracuda offense. From there, his skill set and offensive mind will lead him to joining Team Teal at the NHL level in the near future.
