Warriors Secure Switzer in Strategic Trade
The Moose Jaw Warriors announced a blockbuster move on Tuesday, acquiring goaltender Jordan Switzer from the Medicine Hat Tigers. In return, the Warriors will send a 2027 fourth‑round pick, a 2029 second‑round pick and a conditional sixth‑round selection in 2030 to the Tigers.
Switzer, a 2007‑born netminder who helped the Tigers capture the 2025 WHL championship, brings a blend of youth and playoff experience to the Saskatchewan franchise.
A Goaltender with Proven Playoff Pedigree
Last season he posted a 30‑7‑2‑2 record with a 2.85 goals‑against average and a .889 save percentage across 44 appearances, and he followed that up in the 2026 WHL Playoffs with a 2.70 goals‑against average, .898 save percentage and a 7‑2 record.
General manager and head coach Willie Desjardins praised the addition, stating that Switzer’s proven record and community involvement make him a perfect fit for the Warriors’ long‑term vision.
The trade reflects a broader strategy by the Warriors to reinforce their defensive core while capitalizing on future draft assets, a plan that aligns with the team’s commitment to sustainable growth.
Fans can expect to see Switzer between the pipes for the upcoming season, where his championship pedigree could prove decisive in the team’s pursuit of a repeat WHL title.
