April 4, 2018 will go down as one of the biggest days in Alexander Chmelevski’s career. Just hours after signing his entry level contract with the Sharks, Chmelevski began his pro hockey career by deking San Diego Gulls goaltender Kevin Boyle and scoring his first American Hockey League goal as a member of the Barracuda.
The Huntington Beach native suited up nine more times for the ‘Cuda, putting up 4 points in six regular season games and adding 2 points in the playoffs. This all came on the heels of a career season in the Ontario Hockey League, leading the Ottawa 67s in all three scoring categories with 35 goals, 41 assists and 76 points in 2017-18.
