The Regina Pats have acquired 2007-born defenceman Matthew Paranych from the Medicine Hat Tigers in exchange for a third-round pick in 2025 and a fourth-round pick in 2028.
“We are very pleased to add Matt to our hockey club,” said Regina Pats VP of Hockey Operations and GM Alan Millar. “Matt is a young, skilled defenceman who projects to be a very good offensive defenseman in our league. As a 17-year-old, we’re excited to add another talented, young player to our group.”
Paranych, 17, has tallied six points (3G-3A) in 20 games this season after picking up ten assists in 56 games with the Tigers last season as a 16-year-old. The Edmonton, Alberta product was selected in the third round of the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft after producing 52 points (13G-39A) in 30 games with OHA Edmonton U15 Prep. In 2022-23, the 5-foot-9, 160 lb. left-shot defenceman played for SAHA U18 Prep, finishing with 32 points (7G-25A) in 29 games.
