SEASON PREVIEW | Spokane Chiefs | 2018-19

Seattle, Everett, and *drumroll please* Spokane? The past four seasons has seen the U.S. Division represent the Western Conference in the Rogers WHL Championship Series and an early indication from the team’s make up is that they could be the team to make it four in a row. The Chiefs possess one of the best forward cores entering the 2018-19 WHL Regular Season and even though their defensive core may lack another game-changer outside of Smith, Kral and Reid, that should be enough to get them into the 2018 WHL Playoffs. As much as the window for the Chiefs is open with departures from other teams in their division and conference, it won’t be a cakewalk either.
