Americans trade forward Shaun Rios to Wenatchee
Kennewick, WA – Tri-City Americans general manager Bob Tory announced today the team has traded 2005-born forward Shaun Rios to the Wenatchee Wild in exchange for a conditional 2028 seventh-round pick.
“This trade will allow Shaun an opportunity to get more ice time in his 19-year-old season,” said Tory. “We would like to thank Shaun for his contributions to our club and wish him all the best moving forward with his hockey career.”
Rios, from San Jose, California, was drafted 2nd overall in the 2020 U.S. Priority Draft by the Americans and signed with the team during the first weekend of the 2024-25 season. In nine games with the Americans he scored three goals.
The Americans are back in action tonight when they welcome the Calgary Hitmen to the Toyota Center for a 7:05 game.
