Kuch bought a home in 2019 that has been torn down and a new home has been rebuilt. It is a waterfront home in the Sunset Park area of Tampa.

Kucherov finished this 2022-2023 season with 30 goals and 83 assists.

The History Of Riverview
Riverview was founded in 1885 on the north shore of the Alafia river. Before it was known as Riverview it was called Peru. Peru was located on the south side of the river. Additionally, the name Peru existed for around 100 years and was one of the oldest settlements in central Florida. In the 1940’s Riverview took over Peru, so then the Peru name ceased to exist. Finally, the Alafia river is translated into river of fire due to the phosphorus on the early river bottom glowing at night.
