Spokane Chiefs
The Spokane Chiefs are part of the Brett Sports family. In 1990, the Brett brothers – Bobby, George, Ken, and John – bought the Spokane Chiefs, their second professional sports franchise. For more than 60 years the city of Spokane has had a love affair with the game of hockey. The Spokane Chiefs are just one of many franchises that have captured the Spokane community through the years. Very few sports have a history as rich as hockey in Spokane. The Chiefs look to continue the winning tradition which includes: two Memorial Cup Championships in 1991 & 2008, two WHL Championships in 1991 & 2008 and four Western Conference Championships in 1991, 1996, 2000 & 2008. Over 60 alumni have gone on to play in the National Hockey League. The 16-20 year old players that comprise the roster have the pleasure to call the Spokane Veteran’s Memorial Arena home. Opening In 1996, the 10,366 seat facility has already hosted the most prestigious of events, the 1998 Memorial Cup. In 1986, the Bretts acquired the Spokane Indians – the (now) single-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. In addition to the Spokane sports franchises, the Bretts also own and operate two other single-A minor league baseball teams, the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Tri-City Dust Devils, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. The Quakes play in the California League and are located about 90 minutes East of Los Angeles. The Dust Devils play in the Northwest League and are located in Pasco, Washington. Each Brett Sports team has its own unique character, but they all share a common commitment: to provide quality teams, affordable family entertainment, and superior customer service for every fan.www.spokanechiefs.com

Chad GunnHOST
Thank you.
Chad GunnHOST
Episode 113 of Chiefs Central coming at you now.
Chad GunnHOST
Only one game to recap this week, but a big week ahead here for the Chiefs.
Chad GunnHOST
A really good test against Kelowna Wednesday and then a couple of games again against Portland this next weekend.
Chad GunnHOST
First, we'll start off with the Medicine Hat game, though.
Chad GunnHOST
Pretty big one that I think a lot of fans are really looking forward to.
Chad GunnHOST
Obviously, the Chiefs have not fared well against the only Eastern Conference team we've played so far this year up to this point.
Chad GunnHOST
But I still think that a lot of fans are looking forward to this just because of the history with these two teams from a couple of years ago in the championship series.
Jesse SevereHOST
He has split time in the top two lines at Hershey this year in the left wing position.
Jesse SevereHOST
In 2024-25, he and Berkley Catton brought the Spokane Chiefs to the finals of the WHL, and he scored extremely well in his first season, did Cristal in the AHL.
Jesse SevereHOST
Note that Berkley Catton mentioned in this episode, but at no point tonight will Mason Black be sending a semi-truck over Berkley's toes in a comparison ranking poll, and Catton has a five-game point streak, so this is the wrong time to do it.
Jesse SevereHOST
But yeah, we love, we adore you, Mason.
Pat SteinbergHOST
Playing with Spokane in the Western Hockey League right now was one of the really positive stories of training camp this year.
Pat SteinbergHOST
The captain of the Spokane Chiefs.
Pat SteinbergHOST
Yeah, was never going to make the team at a camp.
Pat SteinbergHOST
That was never going to happen.
Pat SteinbergHOST
All that being said, my guess is no.
Pat SteinbergHOST
But I do think he'll have a real shot at making the team next year.
Pat SteinbergHOST
He's already up to 17 points in 10 games with the Spokane Chiefs.
Pat SteinbergHOST
27 pims as well.
Dave MinukHOST
He's got eight goals.
Dave MinukHOST
He's leading goal scorer for the Spokane Chiefs.
Dave MinukHOST
Right here from Manitoba Kid.
Dave MinukHOST
So a little prospect update.
Will BryantHOST
Thank you for tapping into another episode where we are on the road right now recording this from Spokane, Washington ahead of the Tigers' second game.
Will BryantHOST
of their U.S. division road trip against a red-hot Spokane Chiefs club, a club that is certainly going to come out hot, you'd have to think, with the Tigers last having taken the ice there.
Will BryantHOST
In Game 5 of the WHL Championship Series two years ago, where they would lift the Ed Chenoweth Cup and steal some... familiar faces on that Spokane roster that have not forgotten that moment we'll talk about that as well as a couple more games coming up on the Tigers U.S. division swing later on in this episode we're going to talk of course the home and home with the Calgary Hitmen the start to the U.S. division road trip a 7-2 loss to the Wenatchee Wild and also take a look at where this Tiger team stands compared to the last two seasons of Tigers hockey of course the championship winning club and the last year's 50-win team, which reached Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Will BryantHOST
We'll begin with the home and home against the Calgary Hitmen.
Will BryantHOST
The Tigers beginning on the road last Friday night against Calgary with a 5-4 victory, a thrilling one at that.
Will BryantHOST
For the Tigers, you know, it's late game turnovers, not even late game turnovers specifically, just turnovers in their own zone that have really been their sort of Achilles heel here certainly over the past week and a half, couple of weeks.
Will BryantHOST
And when you analyze some of the recent Tiger losses, it's been the opponents capitalizing on the Tigers mistakes.
Will BryantHOST
And of course, that's what good teams do.
Jon KeenHOST
Vancouver, where they're at with their age, they'll be buyers.
Jon KeenHOST
Spokane, number one team in the CHL this past week.
Jon KeenHOST
They'll be buyers.
Jon KeenHOST
And you'd have to think the Victoria Royals will continue to be on that sort of buying spree, which we've already seen here in the offseason leading into the year.
Adam LundHOST
And somehow we're the only league that that's happened to.
Adam LundHOST
Like, I don't think the WHL team has hosted a Memorial Cup since 1998, the Spokane Chiefs hosted.
Adam LundHOST
You think teams like Red Deer and Calgary and Edmonton probably can't host due to playoffs? Playoffs? Do you think that Regina was told not to? Kelowna was told not to bid because it hasn't gone to the United States? Like, it's just so frustrating.
Adam LundHOST
So on a team side, where do they go? Not a hosting Memorial Cup of 2021, 2031.
Elliot GunnHOST
So, yeah, no, it's awesome to see the CHL.
Elliot GunnHOST
This morning saying the Chiefs reached 10-1, reached number one in the CHL for the first time this season after their second two-game sweep of Portland.
Elliot GunnHOST
Wins of 2-1 on Friday and 4-3 on Saturday extended Spokane's winning streak to five and brought its total number of one-goal victories to six, as you were just kind of alluding to.
Elliot GunnHOST
Wow.
Elliot GunnHOST
Carter Esler stopped 46 of 50 shots across the two wins and owns a 1.64 goals against average and a 93.7 save percentage.
Elliot GunnHOST
Chase Harrington and Mary Cowell added two assists apiece while Nolan Saunderson collected his first three points of the season, all assists.
Elliot GunnHOST
The Chiefs host medicine at Friday before heading out on the road next week.
Elliot GunnHOST
So yeah, I mean, Our first, I would say, large test of the year coming up this Friday against Medicine Hat is another one of those teams that has just kind of been hanging around at the top of the league standings for the last couple of seasons.
Dave SpositoHOST
was an angry rain.
Dave SpositoHOST
