Four training camp teams to be named after notable Chiefs alumni.

Alumni Spotlight: Dustin Tokarski The Spokane Chiefs' 2022 training camp will feature 82 players and prospects divided into four teams, each named after notable Chiefs alumni. Two goaltenders and two defensemen were chosen as the teams' namesakes in an effort to recognize current Chiefs Mason Beaupit and Graham Sward after they were selected in the 2022 NHL Draft.

The fourth and final team is named after former Spokane Chiefs defenseman Jared Spurgeon, who played 266 games with the team from 2005-10, tied for 22nd most in franchise history. Over those five seasons, the 5-foot-9 blueliner racked up 170 points on 37 goals and 133 assists, locking himself in at seventh all-time among Spokane defensemen in scoring.

Spurgeon holds a few records among Spokane defensemen, including:



T-23rd - most points in single season (51 in 2009-10)

T-25th - most goals in single season (10 in 2008-09)

21st - most assists in single season (43 in 2009-10)
