The BCHL has announced that Wenatchee Wild forward Cade Littler is the 3rd Star of the Week.

Littler netted five points over the weekend after scoring three goals and adding a pair of assists in two games.

The 2022 Calgary Flames draft pick had a goal and an assist on Friday night against the Nanaimo Clippers in a losing effort as the Wild dropped a 7-4 decision at home.

On Saturday, with his team down 3-0 to the visiting Coquitlam Express early in the second period, Littler was instrumental in his team’s comeback, scoring once in the middle frame to cut the lead to 3-2, assisting on the go-ahead goal later in the third to make it 4-3 and scoring an insurance marker less than three minutes later in an eventual 6-3 final. His two-goal, one-assist outing earned him first star of the game.

A native of East Wenatchee, Wash., Littler is the league’s sixth-leading scorer with 47 points (21 goals, 26 assists) in 40 games and is tied for eighth in BCHL goal-scoring with 21 on the year, the most on his team.

During his youth hockey days, Littler spent time with the San Jose Jr. Sharks.
