Overview

  • The Calgary Flames reassigned forward prospect Andrew Basha from the AHL’s Calgary Wranglers to the WHL’s Medicine Hat Tigers on Jan. 2 to finish the season.
  • Basha played the same night and scored in a 6-3 win over Moose Jaw, extending the Tigers’ winning streak to 14 games.
  • He posted one goal and four assists with 33 penalty minutes and a minus-7 rating in 27 AHL games this season.
  • A 2024 second-round pick at No. 41, Basha signed a three-year entry-level deal in September 2024 after a 30-goal, 85-point WHL breakout and a 2024–25 injury-shortened campaign.
  • His return leaves Medicine Hat with four overage players, requiring a move to comply with the WHL three-overager limit by the Jan. 8 deadline.
