The Spokane Chiefs were enjoying a very good offensive season before the blockbuster trade that netted forward Andrew Cristall from Kelowna last week. But with the Washington Capitals draft pick added to the lineup, the team is firing on all cylinders.
KELOWNA, B.C. – Andrew Cristall scored a lot of goals in his time with the Kelowna Rockets. On Wednesday, in his first game against his former teammates, he got his first against the Rockets. And his second.

On Wednesday, the Spokane Chiefs made a blockbuster deal for one of the most dynamic players in the Western Hockey League. It’s a strong signal that they are “all-in” in their pursuit of a WHL title and to earn a berth in this year’s Memorial Cup.

The Spokane Chiefs on Wednesday acquired 2005-born forward Andrew Cristall from the Kelowna Rockets in exchange for 2007-born forward Hayden Paupanekis, a first- and third-round pick in 2025, a second- and sixth-round pick in 2026, and a first-round pick in 2027.

The Spokane Chiefs entered their first home game of the new year with a seriously depleted lineup, missing several veteran players and a good chunk of their scoring offense due to illness, injury and other obligations.
