Oil Kings Sign Lee to WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement
Edmonton, Alta. – The Edmonton Oil Kings announced today that they have signed 2011-born defenceman Brayden Lee to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.
“It’s an exciting day to be welcoming Brayden to the organization,” said Oil Kings President and General Manager Michael Chan. “Getting to know Brayden as well as his parents, Jin & Stormy, throughout the draft process, we know we are not just getting a quality player but a quality person who is humble and driven. He is a highly intelligent mobile defenceman who can dictate play on both sides of the puck with both his feet and his brains. We are very excited Brayden and his family have committed to our organization’s development environment and look forward to his continued growth with us.”
Lee, out of Waxahachie, TX, USA, was selected in the third round, 64th overall of the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft by the Oil Kings after spending the 2025/2026 season with Little Caesars 14U AAA club where he had five goals and 23 assists for 28 points in 20 games, along with five points in three playoff games.
More recently, Lee was part of USA Hockey’s U15 Player Development Camp where he had four points in four games while playing for Team Kelly.
Lee is now the third player from the Oil Kings 2026 WHL Prospects Draft to be signed to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement, joining Brayden Dean and Brock Vodden.
