The Prince Albert Raiders traded overaged forward Calder Brooks Monday to the Spokane Chiefs. In exchange, the Raiders acquired a fifth round from the Chiefs in 2015.

Brooks was acquired in a deal from the Calgary Hitmen at the deadline last year. He had seven goals and 14 points in 35 games with the Raiders. He has 68 points in 144 career games.

The move brings the Raiders down to three 20-year-olds: Dakota Conroy, Jayden Hart and Prince Albert-born Sawyer Lange.

Brooks sat in Hart’s place for that game, after Brooks scored two points in the two-game sweep over the Saskatoon Blades on opening weekend. Hart, who missed all of training camp and all preseason games with a groin injury, made his WHL season debut on Saturday, scoring a goal in the 4-3 loss to the Regina Pats.

The Raiders came into the season with seven players eligible to return for their 20-year-old season, but traded Chance Braid to Prince George and waived Shane Danyluk so he could play Junior A for his hometown Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Carson Perreaux also retired from the game of hockey this offseason.
