It was a proud moment for Spokane hockey fans as two Spokane Chiefs players — Chase Harrington and Tyus Sparks — were selected in the 2026 NHL Draft, according to SWX Local Sports.

Being drafted into the NHL represents the pinnacle of achievement for junior hockey players, and having two Chiefs selected in the same draft class is a testament to the talent and development happening right here in Spokane. Harrington and Sparks now join a growing list of Chiefs alumni who have gone on to pursue professional hockey careers at the sport’s highest level.

The Spokane Chiefs, a cornerstone of the community and a proud member of the Western Hockey League, have long served as a launching pad for young players with big dreams. Fans who cheered on Harrington and Sparks throughout their time in Spokane can now follow their journeys as they take the next exciting step toward the NHL.

Congratulations to Chase Harrington, Tyus Sparks, and the entire Spokane Chiefs organization on this outstanding achievement.
