Three months ago, Spokane Chief Berkly Catton signed his Seattle Kraken contract after the center was selected in the first round of the National Hockey League entry draft. He was reassigned to the Chiefs for the upcoming WHL season.

The promotional giveaways for goals scored at the Arena Saturday night were plentiful – enough to make several meals worth of various fast food items.

Shea Van Olm and Mathis Preston scored two goals apiece and the Spokane Chiefs held off a late flurry to beat the Kelowna Rockets 5-3 in a Western Hockey League Western Conference game at the Arena on Friday.

Berkly Catton is two players in one.

The Spokane Chiefs kicked off the 2024-25 season – their 40th as a member of the Western Hockey League – with a three-game road trip, splitting a pair against last year’s regular-season champion Prince George, then topping Wenatchee 6-3 on Friday.

This year’s No. 8 pick in the NHL entry draft, Berkly Catton, seemed destined to return to juniors rather than make the Kraken. It’s rare for a player to make the jump at 18, and at 5-foot-11 and 167 pounds, Catton is on the smaller side. He dazzled in development camp and showed flashes of real promise at training camp, but he needs more time to marinate.

The Spokane Chiefs opened the 2024-25 Western Hockey League season with a pair of road games against the Prince George Cougars over the weekend, earning a split with last season’s regular-season champion.
