Langley, B.C. - The Vancouver Giants are proud to announce that forward Jaden Lipinski has been added to the Calgary Wranglers roster on an Amateur Try-Out (ATO).
The Wranglers are the American Hockey League affiliate of the Calgary Flames, who selected Lipinski in the fourth round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, 112th overall.
Lipinski was named a B.C. Division Second Team All-Star this season, as voted upon by WHL General Managers.
He co-led the Giants in points with a career-high 66 on 24 goals and 42 assists. The 6-foot-4 forward was also top-10 in the WHL in shorthanded points with six and second in the WHL in face-off wins with 888. His 57.4 per cent clip in the face-off circle was top-5 in the league. Lipinski co-led the Giants with three playoff points in five games.
Giants captain Sam Honzek, who was the Flames first-round pick, 16th overall, is also now in Calgary, but is day-to-day with an upper body injury. He signed his entry-level contract with the Flames last summer.
Honzek posted 10 goals and 31 points in 33 games this past season.
