MESSAGE FROM

WHL COMMISSIONER From humble beginnings as a fledgling seven-team league on the Western Canadian prairies in 1966 to the largest junior hockey league of its kind in the world today, no one would have envisioned the growth the Western Hockey League has experienced over the last 50 years. The WHL has certainly come a long way and this is in large part due to the commitment WHL Club ownership has made in setting the standard for player development on a worldwide basis. The WHL and our 22 member Clubs take great pride in providing an ideal environment for the top prospects in the system to reach their potential both on and off the ice. From our world class coaching and arena facilities, to our comprehensive player safety and professional development initiatives and our fully guaranteed player education and scholarship program, the WHL is a leader in every category. As we celebrate our 50th season, we not only salute our founders – Scotty Munro, Bill Hunter, Del Wilson and Jim Piggott – but also our owners and community leaders who, together with long-time WHL President Ed Chynoweth, have been instrumental in the establishment and growth of our League. We also want to pay tribute to the players, coaches, managers and staff, along with the officials, who over the past 50 years have made this League what it is today. None of this would be possible without the ongoing support of our fans, sponsors, broadcasters and media from throughout

Ron Robison Commissioner Western Hockey League

the League. Without your loyal support, WHL Clubs would not be in a position to continue offering our players the world class experience they deserve. We trust you will join us in celebrating the WHL’s 50th Season as we prepare to host a series of special events throughout the 2015-16 season including the Canada – Russia Series in November in Kelowna and Kamloops, the CHL / NHL Top Prospects Game in January in Vancouver and the MasterCard Memorial Cup in May in Red Deer.

'WHL

The Western Hockey League started with just seven teams based in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1966. The WHL now has representation in all four Western Canadian provinces and the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington. The WHL now consists of 22 member Clubs with 17 based in Canadian markets and five in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The WHL is a member of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) whose membership is comprised of three major junior hockey leagues: the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Western Hockey League (WHL). At the conclusion of each league's playoffs, the CHL hosts the MasterCard Memorial Cup, a national championship tournament involving each of the three league champions and the tournament host. The WHL is regarded as one of the finest development leagues in the world today. Each season the WHL is one of the top leagues from which players are selected from in the NHL Draft. Currently over 20% of all NHL players are graduates of the WHL. The WHL is also a leading provider of post-secondary scholarships with over 325 scholarships awarded each year to current and graduate WHL players, more than any other league in North America.


Welcome to Kent …and to Seattle Thunderbirds hockey and a winning 2015-2016 season as the T-Birds pursue the coveted “Memorial Cup”! This is surely going to be another exciting season at ShoWare Center! Four T-Birds were selected this summer in the NHL Draft; Mathew Barzal (New York Islanders), Ryan Gropp (New York Rangers), Ethan Bear (Edmonton Oilers) and Keegan Kolesar (Columbus Blue Jackets)… all top NHL prospects playing for the T-Birds this season. Third year center Scott Eansor just took part in the Team USA World Junior Championship Development Camp and will be a player to watch this season. The T-Birds return five defensemen this season from their stalwart defensive corps last season. Donovan Neuls, Nolan Volcan, Alexander True and Kaden Elder, all rookies last season, are going to be important T-Birds in their second season. Returning this year is the T-Birds’ popular 2-for-Tuesday promotion, where fans can enjoy 2-for-1 tickets along with $2 concession specials! If you’re a new visitor to ShoWare Center, you should know we are very proud of this 6 year-old state-ofthe-art arena. The 6,125 seats, twenty suites, and incredible club seating section have unmatched hockey sightlines throughout. While you’re in town, grab a bite at Kent Station, a contemporary, open air urban village with a variety of options for pre and post-game gatherings, but don’t leave your car there during an event as they will be towed. Walk a couple blocks south of the Center to discover the charm of historic downtown Kent where even more entertainment and dining choices await you

Go T-Birds!

The Chiefs enter the final stretch of the season with a road contest versus the Seattle Thunderbirds tonight. It is the 7th of 8 head-to-head contests this season and 3rd of 4 in Kent. The home team has been the victor in the first six games between these two clubs, with Spokane taking all four games at Spokane Arena while the T-Birds have won both at the ShoWare Center. The Chiefs came away with a 5-4 win vs. Seattle in their most recent matchup on Jan. 29, scoring 4 goals in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd period before hanging on late. Keanu Yamamoto led the Chiefs with 3 assists. Spokane is coming off a 3-2 loss to Everett at home on Sunday night. Dominic Zwerger and Markson Bechtold scored for the Chiefs. Hudson Elynuik extended his WHL-leading point streak to 10 games with an assist on the Zwerger goal in the first period. Three of the Chiefs’ last 4 games have gone to overtime or a shootout. Spokane has gone to OT 12 times this season, winning 5 while losing 4 in OT and 3 in the shootout. If the playoffs began today, the Chiefs would face the T-Birds in the first round. They are currently 4 points behind Seattle for 2nd place in the U.S. Division and tied with Portland for 3rd place with one game in hand. The Chiefs are 4 points ahead of Tri-City for the Western Conference playoffs cutoff. The Thunderbirds recovered from a 3-game losing streak earlier in February with a current 3-game winning streak, including a 4-2 win over the red-hot Victoria Royals at home on Sunday night. Keegan Kolesar led Seattle vs. Victoria with a hat trick, capped by a game-securing empty netter with just under 1:30 left in regulation. Ethan Bear tallied the GWG on a power play just 4:21 earlier. Seattle is led offensively by New York Islanders 1st round pick Mathew Barzal with 18 goals and 49 assists for 67 points in just 44 games. Kolesar, a Columbus Blue Jackets prospect, has a team-leading 30 goals while NY Rangers draftee Ryan Gropp has 27 goals and 56 points. Top defensemen Bear (13-40-53) and Jerret Smith (8-24-32) lead from the blue line. Smith, who serves as team captain, returned on Saturday from an injury that kept him out 5 games. Landon Bow is the regular starter in net for the T-Birds with 14 GP, a 2.10 GAA, .926 SV% and 3 shutouts since being acquired from Swift Current in early January. He has been injured lately, however, with backup Logan Flodell taking the reins and allowing 14 goals on 145 shots in 5 February appearances.



PLAYOFF PUSH… If the playoffs started today, the Chiefs would face the Seattle Thunderbirds in the first round. They are currently in 3rd Place in the U.S. Division, 4 points behind Seattle for 2nd place and tied in points with Portland with one game in hand. Spokane is 4 points ahead of Tri-City for the playoff cutoff. FILLING IN… The Chiefs have been stretched thin by injuries lately, with leading scorer Kailer Yamamoto missing the last 6 games, Wyatt Johnson missing the last 10, Nik Andersen missing the last 4 and Jason Fram scratched for the last 2. HUDSON HORNET… C Hudson Elynuik extended his WHL-leading point streak to 10 games with an assist vs. Everett on Sunday. Elynuik ranked 122nd among North American skaters in the latest NHL Central Scouting Midterm Rankings. Elynuik had 6 points (4g, 2a) in 7 games before sustaining a lower body injury that kept him out of the lineup from Oct. 10-Nov. 25. He has 22 points (7g, 15a) in his last 17 games. TOSS YOUR TYROLEAN… LW Dominic Zwerger scored his 2nd career hat trick on Jan. 31 in Everett, adding an assist to match a career-high 4-point game. Zwerger’s 1st career hat trick was on Feb. 23, 2014 vs. Kamloops, a 9-4 win in which he and teammate Mitch Holmberg both sent hats flying. His HT on Sunday was the 3rd of the season for Spokane (Jaret Anderson-Dolan on Opening Night vs. TRI; Adam Helewka on Dec. 4 vs. SEA). Zwerger has 8g & 7a in his last 10 games. BENCH BOSS… Head Coach Don Nachbaur is in his 6th season with the Chiefs and recently eclipsed current Toronto Maple Leafs Head Coach Mike Babcock for first place in Chiefs’ franchise history in coaching wins with 224 (he now has 228). In his first five seasons in Spokane, he posted a 201-127-17-10 record. He is also the career wins leader for the TriCity Americans with 235. Nachbaur is one of four WHL coaches with 600+ career wins (659). RECOGNIZING RAY… On Jan. 29, the Chiefs retired former player and long-time NHL standout Ray Whitney’s number 14. It is the first number ever retired by the franchise. Whitney played for the Chiefs from 1988-91 and was a part of the 1991 Memorial Cup Championship team. Among all-time Chiefs, he is 1st in career points (348), 1st in career assists (207), 4th in career goals (141) and 5th in points per game (1.63). In 1990-91, he posted a franchise record 185 points w/ 67 goals (2nd in franchise history) & 118 assists (1st). He was the WHL’s top scorer & earned the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy as POY. A 2nd-round pick in the ’91 NHL Draft, he played over 1,300 games (1,330) and scored 1,064 points (385 goals). He was a 3-time NHL All-Star (’00, ’03, ’12) & won the Stanley Cup in 2006 with Carolina. Other notable Chiefs to have worn #14 include: Buddy Bodman (WIHL, 1963-71), Ryan Duthie (91-94), Trent Whitfield (94-98), Tim Smith (9801), Jeff Lynch (01-06), Mitch Wahl (05-10), Adam Helewka (12-15). KEANU DIG IT?... Forward Keanu Yamamoto scored 3 goals and added 10 assists in 12 January games and has 5 goals & 10 assists in his last 11 games, including 2 goals vs. KTN on Feb. 13. He broke a 5-gm point streak last Friday. He already surpassed his career-high 29 points (12g, 17a) scored last season (in 30 fewer games) & recorded his 100th career point on Feb. 14. Combined, the Yamamoto brothers tallied 23 points (11g, 12a) in December and 25 (6g, 19a) in January. NEW PLACES, NEW FACES… On Jan. 1, the Chiefs traded 2014-15 team-leading scorer Adam Helewka to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for overage F Wyatt Johnson, F Eli Zummack (2000-born), Red Deer’s 2nd Round pick in 2016 & their 5th Round pick in 2017. Both Helewka and Johnson had both played their entire WHL career for one team before the trade. F Wyatt Johnson, who was the Rebels’ captain, scored 9 goals and 17 assists in 38 games with the Rebels to start the season. In 235 career games, he has 62 goals and 76 assists, highlighted by a 25-goal, 54-point campaign in 2014-15. Johnson scored a goal just 29 seconds into his first game with the Chiefs (& added two assists). F Presten Kopeck was acquired from the Kootenay Ice in a trade for F Riley Whittingham and a 4th Rd Bantam Pick on Jan. 4. Kopeck actually never suited up for the Ice after being traded there from Red Deer on Jan 3. In 224 games between the Rebels and Portland Winterhawks, Kopeck recorded 46 goals and 69 assists. He had 5 goals and 13 assists in 37 games with the Rebels this season before being traded. CLAVET CLIMBER… Evan Fiala, an 18-year-old from Clavet, SK, scored his 1st career goal on Oct. 10 vs. Everett, in his 77th career game, and has 5 more since then. The hard-hitting defenseman leads the Chiefs with 92 PIM and a +22 rating. DONUTS WITHOUT A HOLE… F Nik Andersen & G Lasse Petersen were selected to Team Denmark’s roster for the 2016 IIHF WJC in Helsinki. Petersen, picked up off waivers in November, calls Swan River, MB home but was born in Denmark. The two Danes missed eight Chiefs games while competing in the tournament. Denmark lost to Russia in overtime in the first elimination round after going 1-3 in pool play.



ZWERGER DAZZLES IN VIENNA… LW Dominic Zwerger played for his native Austria in the 2016 IIHF WJC Div. I Group A, from Dec. 13-19 in Vienna, Austria. He returned on Dec. 27 with a goal & 2 assists after missing six Chiefs games for the tournament. Zwerger tied for the scoring lead among all tournament players with 3 goals & 4 assists in 5 games. Austria finished 2nd in the tournament (3-2-0) behind Latvia. SOPHOMORE SENSATION… RW Kailer Yamamoto has avoided the sophomore slump this season with 19g & 45a in 50 games, leading the Chiefs (15th WHL overall; 8th in assists). The speedy forward was named WHL Player of the Week for the week ending Dec. 20 (4g, 3a in 3 GP). He scored 2g & 1a in his 100th career game (vs. EVT on Dec. 12) and has 121 career points (42g, 79a). He’s been held off the scoresheet just 13 times through 50 games; the Chiefs are 2-11 in those games and 2-4 when he’s out of the lineup. He has a team-best 5 GWG (t-15th WHL). Last year, he was the WHL’s Western Conf. ROTY after he became just the 3rd 16-year-old in Chiefs history to score 20 goals (Pat Falloon, 22, 1988-89; Jason Podollan, 36, 92-93) and 4th to score 50 points (Falloon, 78, 88-89; Ray Whitney, 50, 88-89; Podollan, 69, 92-93). USING THE MAN ADVANTAGE… The Chiefs are 19-7-1-3 this season when scoring at least one PPG, but 8-15-3-0 otherwise. In wins, the Chiefs’ PK unit has an 87.1% success rate, which drops all the way to 70.4% in losses. THE RIGHT FRAM OF MIND… Chiefs’ captain D Jason Fram surpassed his previous career high in goals scored (9) on Jan. 22 at KTN. He’s 9th in the WHL in overall scoring by a d-man (11-33-44). Fram has played 305 career games, 10th in Chiefs history. Jeff Lynch is next on the list at 313. WHITE COLLAR, GOLD MEDAL… C Jaret Anderson-Dolan and RW Hayden Ostir were selected by Hockey Canada to represent Canada November’s 2015 World U-17 Hockey Challenge in BC. Canada White won gold, beating Russia in the finals. JAD had 1g & 3a in the tournament, including a goal and an assist in the final. Both players played all six games. ALL TYED UP… 2015 WHL Bantam Draft first overall pick D Ty Smith made his debut with the Chiefs on Jan. 13 vs. Saskatoon, recording 2 assists with a +4 rating. Smith is one of 17 players on the Canadian roster for the 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. On Feb. 11, Smith was named Captain of Team Canada for the tournament. Through 4 games, Smith has 2g & 2a as Canada is 3-1. KAILER AT IVAN HLINKA… Kailer Yamamoto competed with Team USA at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in the Czech Republic and Slovakia this past summer. Yamamoto scored 4g & 3 assists in 4 games, which tied for the tournament lead in scoring.
