The Wenatchee Wild have strengthened their blue line. Wenatchee acquired defenceman Caden Campion from the Spokane Chiefs in exchange for an eighth-round selection in the 2029 draft. Campion is in his rookie season and has one goal in six games. 

Campion played last season in the BCHL. Listed at 6'1", 174 lbs, the 18-year-old defender is from St. Paul, Minnesota. In a corresponding move, the Wild also announced the release of forward Paul Wiczek.

Wenatchee has had a tough start to the 2025-26 season. In 11 games, they have a record of 2-7-1 and have been outscored 26-44. The Wild are next in action on Saturday when they battle the Saskatoon Blades.
