A prominent member of the Lethbridge Hurricanes is set to join the NCAA.

Logan Wormald has signed with the collegiate hockey team at Nebraska-Omaha and will head down south once he reaches the end of his WHL eligibility.

“I’m thrilled to be able to commit to Omaha for the 2026-2027 season. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about Nebraska, while the coaches and facilities are amazing and I’m super excited to grow as a player and person while there,” says Wormald. “They have built a great foundation, and I am super excited to be able to play a role in it.”

The 20-year-old was first drafted by the Canes in the third round (45 overall) in the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft. He has appeared in 236 regular-season games with Lethbridge over the last four seasons, amassing 210 points (856-125a), along with 142 penalty minutes and a plus-60 rating.

Wormald is tied for 23rd place all-time in Hurricanes games played, 19th all-time in goals, 21st all-time in assists, and 20th all-time in points.

He was the recipient of the Hurricanes’ Three Star Award (2024-25), co-winner of the Most Valuable Player (2024-25) and Rookie of the Year Award (2021-22), and also served as an alternate captain for the past two seasons.

“Omaha and I built a super strong relationship with each other throughout the year, they have an amazing organization in Nebraska and the coaching staff are very excited about getting me into a Mavericks jersey. It meant a lot knowing the staff put so much effort into me throughout the year and that is why I have chosen Nebraska-Omaha,” Wormald said.

He says being able to join the NCAA after his WHL career is a great opportunity to play hockey while getting an education.
