Calgary, Alta. - The Western Hockey League, in collaboration with the Canadian Hockey League and Hockey Canada, announced today that forward Jaret Anderson-Dolan of the Spokane Chiefs has been added to Team WHL's roster for the 2018 CIBC Canada Russia Series.
Anderson-Dolan, 19, was re-assigned from the NHL's Los Angeles Kings Monday after opening the 2018-19 NHL season with the Club. In five games with the Kings, Anderson-Dolan registered one assist. He was originally a second-round selection (41st) of the Kings at the 2017 NHL Draft.
A product of Calgary, the 5-foot-11, 195-pound Anderson-Dolan was originally selected by the Chiefs in the first round (14th) of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. In 212 career WHL regular season games, Anderson-Dolan has collected 193 points (93G-100A).
Anderson-Dolan previously competed on the international stage, serving as captain of Team Canada at the 2017 U18 World Championship. He was also an alternate captain for Canada White at the 2015 World U17 Hockey Challenge, helping his nation earn a silver medal.
The 2018 CIBC Canada Russia Series begins Monday, November 5 at the Sandman Centre in Kamloops, B.C., before continuing Tuesday, November 6 at the Langley Events Centre in Vancouver.
The six-game CIBC Canada Russia Series features regional league teams of Canadian National Junior Team candidates competing against the Russian National Junior Team. For the fifth straight season, the event will open with two games in the WHL.
Since the event first began in 2003, CHL teams have played to an overall record of 61-22-1-6.

The first ever shootout finale in event history was won by Team QMJHL, giving the CHL its third consecutive series victory. Team CHL has won 12 times in event history, with Russia emerging victorious on three occasions.
