Wild Add Caffey in Trade with Everett Silvertips

WENATCHEE, Wash. – The Wenatchee Wild have announced a trade with the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League (WHL), acquiring 2006-born forward Nolan Caffey in exchange for an eighth-round selection in the 2029 WHL Prospects Draft.

Caffey is in his first season of junior competition, skating in 14 games this season for Everett and notching a goal and an assist. His first WHL goal was a go-ahead goal this past Friday in the Silvertips’ overtime loss to Prince George.

The Fremont, California native entered junior competition following five years at the prestigious Shattuck-St. Mary’s prep school in Faribault, Minnesota, winning back-to-back 18-and-under national championships with the Sabres’ prep team in 2024 and 2025. Caffey posted 80 points for Shattuck-St. Mary’s last year in 58 games before signing with the Silvertips. He also led the school’s 14U team to a 2021 national tournament title, and returned to nationals with the Shattuck-St. Mary’s 16U team in 2023.

The Wenatchee Wild proudly welcome Nolan Caffey to the Wild family.
