Since entering the league Mikhail Loktionov has always been among the league leaders in his age group. Last season, Mikhail was playing a limited role on an absolutely stacked Firebirds team that ended up going on to the SMJHL finals and winning the Four Star Cup, because of that his role was obviously going to be limited, even in that limited role he still finished first in goals by a rookie with 10. finished second in assists by rookie forwards with 16 to go along with finishing 2nd in overall rookie scoring with 26 points.

This season Mikhail has only trended upwards and has more than doubled his pace from last season. Mikhail has scored 22 goals this season which is a 12 goal improvement from last season and has him tied for 3rd in goal scored. His playmaking ability has also seen a massive improvement as he currently sits in 5th for assists with 35 which is tied for fourth in the SMJHL. Overall, he's scored 57 points this season which has him in 4th place in scoring while playing less than two of the three players ahead of him. I expect Mikhail to continue to rapidly improve if he returns for a third SMJHL season next year.
