History
2008-09: After appearing in three WHL games with Everett two years earlier, Tochkin put up 74 points in 72 games in his first full season with the Silvertips.

Tochkin appeared in two games during Everett's first round series with Tri-City, suffering an upper body injury in Game 1, and was -1 with 1 goal and 2 PMs.
2009-10: Tochkin signed an entry-level, three-year contract with Vancouver in July 2009 before returning to Everett for his second season with the Silvertips. Tochkin again skated in all 72 games and was the team's third-leading scorer with 28 goals and 40 assists. He finished the season with a +25 plus/minus and had 64 PMs. The Silvertips were one of the big turnaround stories, finishing second in their division and winning 46 games. In Everett's seven-game, first-round series with Kelowna Tochkin scored 1 goal with 1 assist and was -3 with 2 PMs.
2010-11: Tochkin skated in 38 games with Everett before a mid-season trade to Medicine Hat. In 70 regular season games between the two clubs he scored 29 goals with 35 assists and was +7 with 68 PMs. Tochkin scored 10 of his 17 goals with Medicine Hat on the Tigers' power play. After finishing with the WHL's fifth-best record, the Tigers advanced to the playoff semifinals. In 15 playoff games Tochkin scored 5 goals with 7 assists and was -7 with 20 PMs.
Talent Analysis
The overlooked winger is not a great skater, but is slowly improving.
Unless he can round out his game, his hands probably won't be enough to carry him in his pro career.
Future
Dealt to the WHL's Prince Albert Raiders during the 2011-12 season.
