Calgary, Alta. - The Western Hockey League announced today Medicine Hat Tigers defenceman Tyson Moss has been named Sandman WHL Rookie of the Week for the week ending Sunday, December 14, 2025.
An 18-year-old product of Port Moody, B.C., Moss exploded for four points (3G-1A) in one game this past week.
The 6-foot, 170-pound Moss enjoyed a career night Saturday, December 13, as the Tigers defeated the Swift Current Broncos by a 10-2 margin at Co-op Place in Medicine Hat.
Moss started the party 1:08 into the first period, giving Medicine Hat an early 1-0 lead. Next, he contributed a secondary assist on a second period goal by Dayton Reschny, which put the Tigers in front by a 6-2 score. Midway through the second period, Moss found the back of the net again, extending the Tigers lead to 7-2. Moss completed the first hat trick of his WHL career when he registered a power-play goal to round out the scoring on the night. He was named first star of the game.
With 11 points (4G-7A) in 25 games, Moss ranks fifth in scoring among all Medicine Hat defencemen.
Originally selected by the Kamloops Blazers in the 10th round (217th overall) of the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft, Moss eventually signed a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement with the Tigers on December 11, 2024. In 48 career WHL regular season games, the left-shot blueliner has collected 14 points (4G-10A).
