Portland, Ore. - The Portland Winterhawks, proud member club of the Western Hockey League, announced today that the club has recalled forward Josh Zakreski from the Saskatoon Blazers of the SMAAAHL.

Zakreski, 16, skated in four games for Portland during the 2021 WHL preseason, recording one goal and one assist during that span. He was assigned to the Blazers U18 program to start the 2021-22 season and he is currently second on the team in goals (7) and points (12) through the club's first 11 games.
