The Henderson Silver Knights have re-signed defenseman Artur Cholach to a one-year deal, it was announced earlier this week.
Cholach, a product of Lviv, Ukraine, finished his first full season of professional hockey in 2024-25, splitting time between Henderson and the ECHL's Tahoe Knight Monsters. Although he went pointless in five AHL games, Cholach scored seven goals and added 16 assists for 23 points in 54 ECHL games.
Drafted by the Vegas Golden Knights in the sixth round of the 2021 NHL Draft, Cholach played his junior hockey in the OHL (Barrie Colts) and the USHL (Sioux Falls Stampede) before making the jump to the pro game. His best season offensively came with the Colts in 2022-23, where he put up 21 points in 60 regular season games.
With Cholach extending for another year, he has proven he is a valuable member of the Golden Knights organization. His play should earn him a longer look in the AHL this year, and he could even snag a full-time spot before the season is over.
