Viktor Wassiljewitsch Tichonow ( Russian Виктор Васильевич Тихонов ; born May 12, 1988 in Riga , Latvian SSR ) is a Russian ice hockey player who has been under contract with SKA Saint Petersburg in the Continental Hockey League since July 2016 . There he plays in the position of the right winger . He is the grandson of the famous ice hockey coach Viktor Tikhonov .
Career
Tichonow learned to play ice hockey in his childhood, some of which he spent in North America due to his father's job, Vasily Tichonow . There he played between 1993 and 1995, when his father was an assistant coach for the San Jose Sharks , for a youth team in Santa Clara . Further coaching positions of his father brought him to Kansas City and Kentucky before they returned to Europe together. After another station in Sweden, he moved back to his Russian homeland, where Tichonow finally played in the junior division of HK CSKA Moscow .
His first station in the professional field was in the 2004/05 season the second team of the HK CSKA Moscow Army Club, with whom he played in the third highest Russian league. During the 2005/06 season he moved to HK Dmitrov in the Wysschaja Liga , the second highest Russian division. There he posted 14 points in 36 games. For the following season he moved to Severstal Tscherepowez in the Superliga , the top division of the country at the time. He only played four games this season for the first team, but was nominated after the first four games of the series in the course of the Super Series 2007 , as the Russians suffered many injuries and had more than disappointed in the games. In the 2007/08 season Tichonow was part of the regular team of Severstal and was appointed to the junior national team for the U20 World Junior Championship at the end of 2007 . There he won the bronze medal and was named the best striker of the tournament. In the course of the Super League season he scored twelve points in 43 games , making him one of the most improved young players in the league. In the NHL Entry Draft 2008 he was finally selected by the Phoenix Coyotes in the first round in 28th overall position, after he was already available in the drafts of 2006 and 2007 but remained unnoticed. To secure the rights to Tichonow, the Coyotes had previously given two draft picks of the second round to the Anaheim Ducks , which had held the rights of the 28th pick until then. On July 1, the Coyotes brought him to sign the contract. Thanks to convincing performances in the training camp, Tichonow was able to assert himself in the regular Phoenix squad in autumn 2008.
In the weak team of Phoenix Coyotes, the striker completed 61 games in the course of the 2008/09 season , in which he posted 18 points. Only in January did he miss ten games due to a hand injury. After the Coyotes had changed their coach in the fall of 2009, Tichonow and Kyle Turris were sent to the San Antonio Rampage , the Coyotes' farm team in the American Hockey League (AHL), before the start of the 2009/10 season . There he spent the first two months of the game year before he was loaned to his ex-club Severstal Tscherepowez from the Continental Hockey League . For the 2010/11 season he returned to North America, but played exclusively for the San Antonio Rampage in the AHL. In October 2011 he was signed by the SKA Saint Petersburg from the KHL.
After four years in Saint Petersburg, Tikhonov moved back to the National Hockey League when he signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks in July 2015 . For the Blackhawks he played eleven games, remained without a scorer point and should be sent to the AHL in December 2015 via the waiver . In doing so, however, he was hired by the Arizona Coyotes , the franchise now trading under a slightly different name that had selected him in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
After a year in North America, Tikhonov returned to SKA Saint Petersburg in July 2016.
