Officials with Lethbridge’s WHL team say they have made the difficult decision to get rid of their captain.

Logan Wormald will now play for the Spokane Chiefs.

In exchange, the Hurricanes will get four draft picks – a third-round draft pick in 2026 (WEN), a third-round pick in 2026 (SPO), a fourth-round draft pick in 2026 (LET), and a fourth-round draft pick in the 2028 (SPO) Western Hockey League Prospects Draft.

Peter Anholt, G.M. of the Lethbridge Hurricanes, says, “This is a hard trade to make, moving Logan, who has been a great Hurricane for a long, long time. But it’s a trade we needed to make, and to be able to get four draft picks – three of which for this coming draft – helps us restock our cupboards as we continue with the transition of our organization.”

Anholt adds that Wormald is a great person and has been a great player for the organization over the last four-and-a-half years.

“He has done everything he’s ever been asked to do and has represented our team both on the ice and off the ice, as well as in our community, with class every step of the way.’

Wormald, 20, was originally selected by the Canes in the third round (45 overall) in the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft.

The Langley, BC, product appeared in 30 games this season with the Canes, collecting 33 points (14g-19a) along with 30 penalty minutes and a plus-4 rating.

In his career with Lethbridge, Wormald appeared in 266 regular-season games, amassing 243 points (99g-144a), 172 penalty minutes, and a plus-64 rating. He also appeared in 27 post-season games, posting 14 points (6g-8a) along with 16 penalty minutes over four playoff appearances.

Wormald set a career-high during the 2024-2025 season, totaling 70 points and reaching the 30-goal and 70-point marks for the first time. He added 12 points (6g-6a) and 10 penalty minutes in 16 playoff games last year, helping the Hurricanes to the Eastern Conference Championship Series by scoring the game and series-winning goal in Game 7 of the second round against the Calgary Hitmen.

After serving as an Alternate Captain for the last two years, Wormald was named team captain in Sept. 2025.

He ends his tenure with Lethbridge in the top-20 in all offensive categories in Hurricanes history.

He ranks 17th all-time in points (243), tied for 16th all-time in goals (99), 13th all-time in assists (144) and 12th all-time in games played (266). During his career, Wormald was named the co-winner of the Hurricanes Most Valuable Player Award (2024-2025), Three Star Award (2024-2025) and Rookie of the Year Award (2021-2022)

With the trade, the Hurricanes now have ten selections in the first seven rounds of the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft including two third-round picks, three fourth-round picks, two sixth-round picks and three seventh-round picks along with a conditional first-round pick from the trade with the Kelowna Rockets.
