Early life

Chekhovich was born in Yekaterinburg. He played major junior hockey in North America with Baie-Comeau Drakkar in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Playing career

On 21 April 2018, Chekhovich was signed by the San Jose Sharks in the last round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft to a three-year, entry-level contract. [2]

With the 2020–21 North American season set to be delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Chekhovich was loaned by the Sharks to remain in his native Russia, on a season-long agreement with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). [3] Chekhovich made his KHL debut during the 2020–21 KHL season and was among the leading rookie scorers in the league, placing fourth in team scoring with 17 goals and 34 points through 43 regular season games. Chekhovich was re-assigned by the Sharks to continue his season with AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, on 12 March 2021. He made his NHL debut on 30 April 2021, in a 0–3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche and finished the season with four appearances with the Sharks, registering one assist. [4]

On 31 August 2021, with a contract offer to return to Torpedo, Chekhovich opted to mutually terminate the remaining year of his entry-level contract with the Sharks and was placed on unconditional waivers on 31 August 2021. [5] Unclaimed and as a free agent, Chekhovich returned to Torpedo on a one-year contract on the opening day of the 2021–22 season on 1 September 2021. [6]

On 23 May 2022, Chekhovich left Torpedo as he was traded to fellow KHL club, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, in exchange for prospects and financial compensation. He was immediately signed to a three-year contract extension to remain with Lokomotiv until 2025. [7]

With one year remaining on his contract, Chekhovich was traded by Lokomotiv at the commencement of the 2024–25 season, to HC Vityaz, on 6 September 2024. [8]
