Now entering his fifth season with the WHL Club, Logan Wormald now sits at the head of the table.

He has been named the 33rd Captain in Lethbridge Hurricanes history.

“I’m obviously super honoured,” says Wormald. “Obviously, plenty of guys left from last year and someone had to take on [Noah Chadwick’s] role, and I guess the coaches thought that would be me. Like I said, I’m super honoured, super proud, and I’m excited to lead this group.”

The 20-year-old was originally drafted by the Canes in the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft and has skated in 236 regular-season games over the last four years.

Wormald, originally from Langley, B.C., has amassed 210 points (85g-125a) with 142 penalty minutes and a plus-60 rating in his Lethbridge career.

He had a career-high season this past year, recording 70 points (30g-40a), marking the first time he has his 30 goals in a single season.

Wormald was tied for 23 all-time in games played (236), tied for 19 in goals (85), 21 overall in assists (125) and 20 all-time in points (210) in Hurricanes history. Wormald was named the ‘Canes Three Star Award recipient while also being named the Co-MVP.

The Hurricanes also announced the rest of its new leadership group, which includes alternate captains Shane Smith, Matteo Fabrizi and Luke Cozens.

Smith, 20, enters his second season with the Hurricanes after being acquired from the Medicine Hat Tigers at the start of the 2024-2025 campaign. Last year, the Cessford, AB, product appeared in 60 games with the ‘Canes collecting 30 points (12g-18a) with 50 penalty minutes. Smith added six points (3g-3a) and 25 penalty minutes in 14 playoff games helping the ‘Canes to the Eastern Conference Final.

Fabrizi, 20, enters his first season with the Hurricanes after being acquired from the Prince Albert Raiders during the off-season. The St. Albert, AB, was originally drafted by the Red Deer Rebels in the second-round (31^st overall) in the 2020 WHL Draft. He has skated in 226 regular season games collecting 41 points (12g-29a) along with 242 penalty minutes.

Cozens, 19, enters his third season with the Hurricanes. The Whitehorse, YT, product was drafted by Lethbridge in the seventh-round (140^th overall) in the 2021 WHL Prospects Draft. He has appeared in 111 regular season games during his career with the ‘Canes totaling 17 points (4g-13a) along with eight penalty minutes. Cozens has added six points (1g-5a) and eight penalty minutes in 17 career playoff games.

At a news conference on Tuesday, Wormald had plenty of nice things to say about his alternate coaches.

“Great leaders. All of them. Fabrizi and Shane have been in the league for some time now and have proven themselves as leaders in this room already,” says Wormald. “Same with [Cozens], he’s been in the league for, I think, two or three years now, he’s taken a big leap in his leadership qualities and it’s super awesome for him.”

The Lethbridge Hurricanes will open the 2025-26 regular season at home on Friday, Sept. 19. They will welcome the Calgary Hitmen to the VisitLethbridge.com Arena.
