Uchacz has 23 points (12G-11A) in 51 games and is tied for third on the Silver Knights in goals.
He made the team as a free agent after attending a development camp in July of 2024 and suiting up for the Golden Knights at the 2024 Rookie Faceoff in Los Angeles, where he picked up one assist.
The 6-foot-1, 209-pound forward played parts of five seasons in the WHL, largely with the Red Deer Rebels.
Uchacz, a Calgary, Alta. product, captained the Rebels in 2023-24 and closed out his junior career with 209 points (109G-100A) in 245 regular season games, highlighted by a 50-goal, 85-point campaign in 2022-23.
He was named to the WHL Central Division First All-Star team twice after putting up back-to-back 80-plus point seasons.
