"I'm super grateful and excited for this opportunity to play at Bowling Green for the 2025-26 season," Crampton said. "Big thanks to my family, friends, coaches, teammates and the Spokane Chiefs for everything they have done along the way!"

Crampton, a 6-foot Chilliwack, B.C. native, has 3 goals and 13 assists so far this season, leading Chiefs defensemen with 16 total points. Crampton has suited up for 200 Western Hockey League games since joining the Chiefs in the 2021-22 season. In that time, he's accumulated 16 goals and 80 assists for 96 total points, which is tied for 16th all-time among Chiefs' defensemen. Last season, he posted career highs of 9 goals, 48 assists, 57 points and a +5.
