Chencinski grew up in Thornhill, Ontario, attended Westmount Collegiate Institute, and played two years of college soccer at Robert Morris University, where in 2004 he ranked 16th in the nation in saves per game and recorded six shutouts. He transferred to Fairleigh Dickinson University as a junior, where he played his final two collegiate seasons.
Chencinski turned professional in 2007 when he signed with Major League Soccer side Toronto FC after impressing during a tryout,[1] but never made an appearance for the team, and left to play indoor soccer for Major Indoor Soccer League side Detroit Ignition.
He dropped down a division to play in the USL Premier Development League for expansion side Newark Ironbound Express in 2008, but left mid-season when he was offered a contract by Moldova National Division side Nistru Otaci.
After playing just three games for Nistru Otaci, he returned to the United States, and signed for the Harrisburg City Islanders in 2009.
After completing his season with the Harrisburg City Islanders, Chencinski spent time training with Major League Soccer side Philadelphia Union. Expecting to start another season with Harrisburg, Chencinski was given the chance of a week-long trial with Finnish side VPS. After a successful trial, he was signed by the Finnish club to provide competition for the goalkeeper position.[2] He made his debut for VPS on February 5, 2011 in a 2-2 draw with FF Jaro in the Finnish League Cup.[3]
On December 5th 2011, he was confirmed for the Swedish Allsvenskan side Örebro SK for the 2012 season.
