Seal Beach native, Jr. Kings, Goldrush alum Gill signs with WHL’s Blazers
The WHL’s Kamloops Blazers have signed 2010-born defenseman Chase Gill.
Gill was selected by the Blazers in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2025 WHL U.S. Prospects Draft.
The Seal Beach native played last season with Los Angeles Jr. Kings 15U AAA team. In 54 games, he led his team in defensemen scoring with 15 goals, 32 assists and 47 points.
“We would like to congratulate and welcome Chase and his family on signing with the Kamloops Blazers,” said Blazers head coach and general manager Shaun Clouston. “We are excited to be a part of Chase’s development in the coming seasons.”
The Blazers have now signed all four of their U.S. WHL Prospects Draft picks from the 2009 and 2010 age group, all from California. Gill joins 2009-born players forward Eli Tverdovsky and goaltender Kaeden Tate as well as 2010-born forward Collin Kim.
Also in youth hockey, Gill skated for the California Goldrush.
