Trois-Rivières Lions forward Brooklyn Kalmikov (affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens) has been named the ECHL Player of the Month for October. A well-deserved honour for the forward, who got off to an electrifying start to the season with the Lions!
In seven games played during the month of October, the number 9 recorded six goals and nine assists for an impressive 15 points. Kalmikov displayed remarkable consistency, recording at least one point in all seven games, including five multi-point performances.
Among his standout performances, Kalmikov enjoyed a four-point night (one goal and three assists) on October 25 against the Norfolk Admirals. He followed that up with another outstanding performance on October 31 against the Maine Mariners, recording three points, including two goals and an assist.
This distinction caps off an outstanding month for the forward, who was also named ECHL Player of the Week for the period of October 19 to 25. It marked the second time in his career that the Newfoundland native had received the weekly honour.
Born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, the 25-year-old has quickly established himself among the league's top offensive players. By the end of October, he sat atop the ECHL leaderboard in both points and assists, while also sharing the league lead in goals.
In his ECHL career, Kalmikov has now amassed 234 points, including 93 goals and 141 assists, in 271 games with the Lions, Maine Mariners and Wheeling Nailers. He has also appeared in eight American Hockey League (AHL) games with the Providence Bruins and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
Before making the jump to professional hockey, Kalmikov also made his mark in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), recording 212 points, including 108 goals and 104 assists, in 273 games with the Moncton Wildcats, Victoriaville Tigres and Cape Breton Eagles.
