Hey. I just got this through in the post and wanted to try and find out more info about it. How old, practice or game, etc. I’m assuming it’s legit and not fake. Any help would be great.

Sorry for the late posting, this one ends tonight!

From Birds to the big stage 🏆

Wishing Shea Theodore and Keegan Kolesar the best of luck in the Stanley Cup Final!

Shea Theodore played as a Bird 2010 - 2015

TBirds have another set of auction items up on Dash.

Decided to hear up to Kelowna for the day. No biggie.

Kelowna pulled oit all the stops with Denis Savard, Eric Lindros, and Shea Weber as puck drop guests 😲

I saw a couple Birds sweaters in the crowd. Who else made the trip?

Congrats to Ashton Cumby!

From watching past news about the operating costs, I figured that ShoWare would be at a loss when the next set of numbers came out. But ouch, that is a big operating loss for last year.

The opening bit of the article:

"Operating losses at the city-owned accesso ShoWare Center in Kent plummeted in 2025 to a record $1.88 million.

That comes just one year after the arena lost $1.06 million in 2024, the first time the ShoWare Center, which opened in 2009, had suffered operating losses of more than $1 million."

After a long Eastern Conference series (and a long wait for the 'Tips), the Prince Albert Raiders and the Everett Silvertips will meet to battle for the Ed Chynoweth Cup for the first time.

Matt Davidson, Director of Player Personnel for the Portland Winterhawks, unexpectedly passed away earlier this week.

Matt is the father of Hyde Davidson. Hyde played on the Seattle Thunderbirds from 2021-2022 season through this past 2025-2026 season.

My thoughts and condolences go out to Hyde, his mom Jane, and all those that were close to Matt.

4/27/2016 The Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL) won the WHL Western Conference Championship when they defeated the Kelowna Rockets in a four-game sweep in the third round of the 2015-16 playoffs.

Seattle won the fourth and deciding game in double overtime by a score of 5-4 at the ShoWare Center. Matthew Wedman scored the game winner 7:52 into the second overtime on a pass from Ryan Gropp.

Also in the game, Mathew Barzal recorded an assist, becoming the franchise leader in playoff assists and points (31 points in 28 games) passing former Thunderbird Patrick Marleau.

The Thunderbirds later faced the Brandon Wheat Kings in the Finals, but ultimately lost the Championship series that season. Seattle would go on to win the Ed Chynoweth Cup the next year (2017).

The Moose move on to Central Division Semifinals with victory over Milwaukee Admirals on Sunday 04/26/26.

They had split the series with the Admirals taking game 1 on Wednesday 04/22/26 and the Moose taking game 2 on Friday 04/24/26.

All games were played on Moose home ice - so I'm a bit bummed the Ads didn't get a chance for home ice to finish out their season.

I love the picture of Ty and Reid the Moose shared for their victory post on FB. Listening to the Ads radio broadcast, there was a cool shout out at one point to the fact they played together in Seattle!

The Moose also have Thomas Milic and Brad Lambert on their roster - both past Tbirds!

After I spend a bit of time mourn the end of the Ads season, I'll cheer on the Tbirds in the AHL playoffs. 😉

So glad to see Big Red getting time on the ice and a goal in the AHL playoffs!

Good luck to our Thunderbirds alumni in the Stanley Cup Playoffs!
