The Spokane Chiefs gave up two third-round picks and two fourth-round picks in exchange for Wormald. The 20-year-old forward has a solid track record in the Western Hockey League (WHL), having played his entire career with the Hurricanes.

Wormald’s Career Statistics

Wormald has participated in 266 regular-season games, amassing 99 goals and 243 points. He served as the captain of the Hurricanes and is currently enjoying a strong season with 14 goals and 33 points in just 30 games.

This acquisition comes at a crucial time for Spokane. The Chiefs currently hold a record of 14 wins and 14 losses (14-14-0) and sit seventh in the Western Conference. They have scored a total of 77 goals this season.

Wormald’s addition is expected to provide a much-needed spark to Spokane’s offense for the remainder of the year.
