Spokane Chiefs News Release


Spokane, Wash. - The Spokane Chiefs host the rival Tri-City Americans for the last time in 2022 on Friday night in the teams' fourth match-up of the season. The Chiefs are looking to bounce back after starting the second half of their season with back-to-back losses to the Seattle Thunderbirds, despite two strong outings.

A few Chiefs have been heating up on the ice lately, including Michael Cicek who has a goal and an assist in each of the last three-straight games. Rookies Berkly Catton and Tommaso De Luca have also been staples in Spokane's lineup, with Catton scoring 3G-2A and De Luca scoring 3G-3A in the last five games. De Luca is currently ranked 4th among WHL rookies with 27 total points (11G-16A), while Catton is ranked 6th with 23 total points (8G-15A).

So far this season, Spokane is 1-2-0-0 against Tri-City. The one win came at home on November 12 as the Chiefs skated to a 7-3 victory.
