"We're excited to be able to add Cole to our group," commented Silvertips general manager Mike Fraser. "He is a strong skating and skilled forward who can play both center and wing. He will make an immediate impact with our club while also giving us added versatility up front in future years."

He represented Team Manitoba at the 2023 Canada Winter Games with five points in five games played, and earned gold at the 2023 U17 World Challenge accumulating six points in eight games with Canada White.
He finished with six goals and 13 assists over 57 WHL games played as a 16-year-old rookie in 2023-24 with Regina.
Cole Temple is in his first year of NHL Draft eligibility, ranked 'W' by NHL Central Scouting Service projecting a sixth- or seventh-round selection.
