One player Andrei Petrikov has always looked up to is Mikhail Lokitonov. As both Andrei's father and Loki played for the same SMJHL teams, it was very easy for young Andrei to watch both the Mikhails play. This was the time that young Andrei decided he wanted to be a winger, instead of playing the blue line like his father. Loki's scoring and puck handling stats of 99 are a point Andrei would like to reach eventually, although he knows his puck handling will never be as good as Loki's.

Another player that gets talked about in the Anchorage locker room, and Andrei watches from time to time, is Cameron Carter II. Although Andrei respects CC2's high defense, skating and scoring stats, of 95, 98 and 96 respectively, he thinks that CC2 would benefit from spending more time in the gym to help bump his strength up.
