Tyson Zimmer is set to play for the fourth team in his Western Hockey League career and this will be his last.

After playing 35 games with the Vancouver Giants to start the season, scoring 10 times, the Russell native has been traded to the Wenatchee Wild as the Friday trade deadline approaches.

Zimmer, originally drafted by the Brandon Wheat Kings sixth overall in the 2019 WHL U-15 Draft, played 82 games with the Wheat Kings before he was dealt to the Lethbridge Hurricanes. He recorded 73 points in 105 games with Lethbridge before he was dealt to the Vancouver Giants.

In 35 games last year, Zimmer had 22 points and was off to a solid start this year with 25 points in 35 games. Tyson joins a Wenatchee club that currently occupies the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference as they're three points ahead of the Kelowna Rockets. They have won six of their last 10.

Following this season, Zimmer's hockey journey will continue at the NCAA Division 1 level as he announced his committment to Niagara University.
