SPOKANE, Wash. – The Spokane Chiefs announced today that they have added 20-year-old forward Alex Mowbray to their roster. After playing three seasons with the Medicine Hat Tigers, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound winger appeared in 32 games this year with the Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

“We had an open 20-year-old spot on our roster and felt Alex would be a great fit,” said Chiefs’ General Manager Scott Carter. “He is a very hard-working two-way forward that we feel will also add to our leadership group. (Assistant General Manager, Hockey Operations) Chris Moulton has liked Alex for some time.”

“We’d like to thank Boris Rybalka and the Camrose Kodiaks for releasing Alex to our club.”

Mowbray is a 177-game veteran of the Western Hockey League – all with the Medicine Hat Tigers – scoring 22 goals and adding 20 assists, including 11 goals and 10 assists last season. He added 72 penalty minutes and has 28 games of WHL Playoffs experience. The Tigers originally selected him in the fourth round (79th overall) of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft.

This season, he piled up 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) and 73 penalty minutes in 32 games with Camrose.

Mowbray is expected to join the Chiefs for their road game against the Seattle Thunderbirds tonight. He will wear number 12.
