2024-25 Season Preview – Lethbridge Hurricanes

Ahead of the 2024-25 WHL Season, the Western Hockey League will be previewing the rosters of our Clubs in a 22-part, team-by-team series.

We shift to the windy city, where a top-five defence from last season looks stronger than ever with returning Maple Leafs prospect Noah Chadwick and recent Lighting draft pick Harrison Meneghin between the pipes.
