Hammell and Miettinen Defeat Americans, Thunderbirds and Wild in Back to Back Weekend Wins!

The Silvertips kicked off their pre-season by hosting the Everett Classic, a three-day tournament at Angel of the Winds Arena. Over the weekend, six U.S. teams from the Western Hockey League—the Spokane Chiefs, Seattle Thunderbirds, Tri-City Americans, and Portland Winterhawks—played a total of six games.

The Classic gives young prospects a chance to compete for a spot on the team roster. Some NHL prospects were healthy scratches, including Spokane’s Berkly Catton (Seattle Kraken), Portland’s Tyson Jugnauth (Seattle Kraken), and Everett’s Eric Jamieson (Calgary Flames).
