Regina, Sask. - Regina Pats veteran defenceman Reese Hamilton has been named to the Winnipeg Jets 2025 Prospect Showdown Roster, the team announced Thursday.

Hamilton, 18, is entering his third WHL season and second with the Pats. The Whitewood, Sask. native was the centerpiece of the Tanner Howe trade on November 21 and recorded 14 points (4G-10A) in 59 games split between the Calgary Hitmen and the Pats during the 2024-25 season. The 6-foot, 170-pound left-shot defenceman has also represented Canada at three international tournaments.

He first suited up for Team Canada Red at the 2023 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, then captured back-to-back gold medals with Canada at the 2024 IIHF U18 World Championship in April and the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in August. Hamilton also represented Team CHL at the 2024 CHL USA Prospects Challenge in November.

This off-season, Hamilton attended the Seattle Kraken's development camp in late June - an experience he described as "super special."
