The Spokane Chiefs announced on Monday that they had signed 2001-born defenseman Mike Ladyman to a WHL education contract. The left-handed blueliner from Winnipeg, Manitoba was listed back in November of 2017 by the Chiefs after he did not sign with the Regina Pats. He was originally a fifth-round pick in 2016 by the Pats.
Ladyman played 60 games last for the Winnipeg Blues of the MJHL, tallying 23 points. He also played eight games this year, piling up one goal and eight assists for nine points.
The Chiefs stated that Ladyman will wear number 25 and should join the team in time for their game against the Brandon Wheat Kings on Tuesday evening.
Ladyman is the ninth d-man on the Spokane roster though Filip Kral has yet to play a game this year while trying to return from an upper-body injury.
