Regina, SK - The Regina Pats Hockey Club has acquired 2007-born forward Dayce Derkatch from the Prince Albert Raiders in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick.
"We're very excited to add a veteran player like Dayce, who brings character and a strong work ethic," said Regina Pats GM Dale Derkatch. "We look forward to him complementing our forward group as we prepare for the upcoming season."
Derkatch, 18, recorded eight points (3G-5A) in 55 games with the Raiders last season after starting the 2024-25 campaign with the Regina Pat Canadians, where he posted 12 points (5G-7A) in 11 games.
