Bryson Roberts, the younger brother of Vancouver Giants star defenceman Colton, has signed a new agreement with a WHL team.
The Spokane Chiefs announced that defence prospect Bryson signed a WHL scholarship and development agreement with the team. Roberts was selected in the fourth round (74th-overall) of this year’s WHL Prospects Draft in May. Colton was selected in the fifth round (131st overall) by the San Jose Sharks in this year’s NHL Entry Draft.
The brothers are from Maple Ridge.
“We are excited to welcome Bryson and his family to the Chiefs organization,” Chiefs general manager Matt Bardsley said.
“Bryson brings a solid two-way game and a physical presence from the defence position. We look forward to watching his development during his time with Spokane.”
Bryson is a 5-foot-11 defenceman who spent the 2023-24 season with Delta Hockey Academy U15 Prep team, where he tallied 18 points over 24 games (5 goals, 13 assists), and added 3 assists in three playoff games. He also played two games up with the Delta Hockey Academy U17 Prep squad and participated at BC Hockey’s U16 Provincial Camp over the summer.
He is first eligible to join the Chiefs as a full-time player during the 2025-26 season, and can play up to 10 games as an affiliated player in 2024-25.
