The Spokane Chiefs have traded defenseman Jace Coyle to the Medicine Hat Tigers in exchange for a fifth round selection in the 2009 WHL Bantam draft and third round selection in 2010.

"We thank Jace for his contributions and wish him all the best."

The 18-year-old appeared in 52 games as a rookie last year with one goal, nine points and was +8.
