SoCal youth hockey alum, Long Beach native Izadi to play for BCHL’s Smoke Eaters in ’26-27

 

The BCHL’s Trail Smoke Eaters have announced the signing of forward Ty Izadi for the 2026-27 season.

The Long Beach native comes to Trail after spending the past two seasons in the NAHL. Last season, Izadi suited up for the Amarillo Wranglers, recording 15 goals and 19 assists in 46 games. During the 2024-25 campaign, Izadi split time between the Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks and Amarillo, combining for 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) in 53 NAHL games.

“We’re excited to welcome Ty and his family to Trail,” said Smoke Eaters general manager and head coach Eric Thurston. “Ty is a hardworking, two-way forward who competes every shift and has played in a very demanding league. He brings speed, character and a relentless work ethic that fits exactly how we want to play. We believe there’s still plenty of upside in his game, and we’re looking forward to helping him continue his development.”

Izadi is eager to take the next step in his hockey career with the Smoke Eaters.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to join such a respected organization,” said Izadi. “I’ve heard great things about the team, the fans and the community. I’m excited to get to Trail, meet my teammates and do everything I can to help the team compete for a championship.”

Prior to making the jump to junior hockey, Izadi developed with the Anaheim Jr. Ducks, Los Angeles Jr. Kings, California Wave and St. John Bosco High School
