Regina, Sask.<\/strong> \u2013 <\/span>The Regina Pats Hockey Club is proud to announce the signing of forward Parker Trottier<\/strong> to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trottier, 18, was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the sixth round (189th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft<\/strong> this past weekend. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound left-shot forward joins the Pats after spending the 2025-26 season with the U.S. National Under-18 Team, recording 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) in 61 games<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A native of Edina, Minnesota, Trottier is committed to the University of Notre Dame and was originally selected by the Pats with the 12th overall pick in the 2023 WHL U.S. Priority Draft<\/strong>. Prior to joining USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program, he developed at Shattuck-St. Mary’s, one of the premier hockey programs in the United States, from 2022-24.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trottier also has deep Saskatchewan roots. He is the grandson of Hockey Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier<\/strong>, the Val Marie, Sask. product who captured six Stanley Cups during his legendary NHL career. Bryan also played junior hockey in the WHL with the Swift Current Broncos and Lethbridge Broncos.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re thrilled to welcome Parker and his family to the Regina Pats organization,” said Pats General Manager Dale Derkatch. “Parker plays a fast, direct game and is an exceptionally intelligent player. He’s the type of player who can contribute in every situation. He competes hard, is responsible in all three zones, and does a lot of the little things that help teams win. We’re excited to see him continue his development in Regina.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Calgary, AB<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Calgary Hitmen have signed 2007-born forward Carter Sanderson to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited that Carter has chosen the Hitmen as the next step in his development,\u201d said Calgary Hitmen General Manager Cass Bruni. \u201cHe is a talented power forward who contributes in all situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarter is also a high-character individual who has shown strong leadership qualities. We believe he will be an impactful addition to our organization both on and off the ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

USA Hockey has invited 10 WHL-developed players and incoming skaters to take part in the 2026 World Junior Summer Showcase, which runs from July 26-August 1 at the WFCU Centre in Windsor, Ont.<\/p>\n

The group includes six NHL prospects, highlighted by reigning WHL Rookie of the Year JP Hurlbert (Kamloops Blazers), who was selected by the Detroit Red Wings with the 23rd overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. Hurlbert is joined by Jacob Kvasnicka (Penticton Vees \/ New York Islanders), Carter Sanderson (Calgary Hitmen \/ Pittsburgh Penguins), Logan Stuart (Lethbridge Hurricanes \/ Washington Capitals), Blake Fiddler (Edmonton Oil Kings \/ Seattle Kraken) and Timofei Runtso (Victoria Royals \/ Montreal Canadiens).<\/p>\n

Sanderson and Stuart have recently signed WHL Scholarship and Development Agreements and are preparing to embark upon their rookie seasons in the WHL.<\/p>\n

2025 WHL Champion and 2027 NHL Draft-eligible forward Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll (Medicine Hat Tigers) is the lone Utahn to earn the invitation.<\/p>\n

USA Hockey plans to split its 47 invitees into two teams (Team Blue and Team White) for the beginning of the World Junior Summer Showcase before trimming the group to a consolidated roster for the final three games.<\/p>\n

The Summer Showcase will feature teams from Canada, Finland and Sweden.<\/p>\n

The 2027 IIHF World Junior Championship will be held in Edmonton and Red Deer and kicks off on December 26, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
