WENATCHEE, Wash. – The Wenatchee Wild have announced a trade with the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League (WHL), acquiring 2007-born forward Levi Benson in exchange for a second-round WHL Prospects Draft pick in 2027 and a fourth-round selection in 2028. A native of Chilliwack, British Columbia, Benson is in his second season of WHL competition with Kelowna.
Benson comes to the Wild with five goals and 11 assists in 30 games this season, after totaling 23 points in 54 appearances in his rookie campaign in 2024-25. Prior to coming to the junior ranks, he spent four years on the roster at Yale Hockey Academy of the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL), leading the league’s U17 Prep division in scoring in 2022-23.
