        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong>Wenatchee, Wash. –</strong> The Wenatchee Wild, proud members of the Western Hockey League (WHL), are pleased to announce that 2010-born forward <strong>Chace Gregg </strong>has signed a WHL Scholarship &amp; Development Agreement with the organization. A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Gregg is in his third year with the Winnipeg Bruins AAA organization, playing this season with the Bruins’ Under-18 AAA team as part of the Manitoba U18 Hockey League.

Gregg played the previous two seasons with the Winnipeg Bruins Black Under-15 team of the Winnipeg AAA Hockey League in Manitoba, posting 34 goals and 66 assists for a total of 100 points last season. Following his AAA season, he was taken by the Victoria Royals with a third-round pick in the WHL Prospects Draft this past spring, and was acquired by Wenatchee in a trade with the Royals in September. He also represented the province of Manitoba in last month’s WHL Cup in Alberta, registering three assists while leading his home province to a gold-medal finish. He joins his twin brother, Brayden, as part of the Wild family – Brayden was taken by Wenatchee in the third round of the WHL Prospects Draft this past spring, and signed his Scholarship &amp; Development Agreement with the club in June.

“Chace is a player that impressed our scouting staff last year,” said Wenatchee Wild director of scouting Leigh Mendelson. “He is a talented young man with a great motor – it will be great to have him playing alongside his twin Brayden in the coming years. Being able to add Chace to our 2025 draft class bodes well for the Wild’s future.”

The Wenatchee Wild congratulate Chace Gregg on signing his Scholarship &amp; Development Agreement with the club, and are proud to officially welcome him to the Wild family.]]></content:encoded>

        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<strong>Saskatoon, Sask. – </strong>The Saskatoon Blades are happy to announce the signing of American-born defenceman Charles Johnson to a Western Hockey League (WHL) Scholarship and Development Agreement.

The Grapevine, TX native was drafted by the Blades in the second round (41st overall) during the 2025 WHL U.S. Priority Draft.

“Chuck is a player who plays fast and with a lot of assertiveness," said Blades Director of Scouting Dan Tencer, "He uses his excellent mobility to his advantage defensively and makes quality decisions with the puck in transition and offensively. He’s got all the markers we look for in a true two-way defender.”
<div class="entry-content">

A late November birthday, the 14-year-old blueliner has six goals and four assists for ten points in 31 games with Sioux Falls Power U15 AAA south of the border. Johnson recorded four goals and 19 assists for 23 points in 59 games last year with the Dallas Stars Elite 14U AAA Program. The left-handed shot also skated in four games with Dallas last season at US U14 Nationals.

“We’ve been very impressed with his trajectory over the last 18 months and believe as a later birthday player that there’s quite an extensive runway left for his development and maturity," said Tencer, "He’s also a highly engaged and coachable young man who is hungry to improve every day and eager for constructive feedback.”

The Blades are excited to welcome the Johnson family to the organization and look forward to working with Charles on the next step in his hockey career.
