MavPuck is profiling the 11 newcomers on Omaha’s 2026-27 roster. You can read yesterday’s profile of junior defenseman Jayden Jubenvill here.
There aren’t many college freshmen who arrive on campus with more than 300 games of major junior hockey experience.
The 21-year-old forward will make his NCAA debut for Omaha this season after five seasons in the Western Hockey League (WHL).
Wormald spent most of that time with the Lethbridge Hurricanes before finishing his junior career with the Spokane Chiefs. Along the way, he scored more than 100 goals, served as a team captain, and played in 33 WHL playoff games.
Now he’ll make the jump from major junior hockey to the NCHC.
Committing to Omaha
Wormald committed to Omaha in July 2025, taking advantage of the NCAA rule change that opened Division I hockey to players with Canadian Hockey League (CHL) experience.
“Omaha and I built a super strong relationship with each other throughout the year,” Wormald said when his commitment was announced. “It meant a lot knowing the staff put so much effort into me throughout the year.”
Wormald returned to Lethbridge for his final season of WHL eligibility and recorded 14 goals and 19 assists in 30 games.
In December, the Hurricanes traded their captain to Spokane in exchange for four draft picks.
Spokane General Manager Matt Bardsley described Wormald as “an excellent two-way player” who would add both offense and leadership to the Chiefs.

Five Seasons in Lethbridge
Wormald, a native of Langley, British Columbia, was selected by Lethbridge in the third round of the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft.
He joined the Hurricanes as a 16-year-old in 2021-22 and recorded 38 points in 55 games during his rookie season.
His production increased over the next three seasons, from 44 points in 2022-23 to 58 in 2023-24 and a career-high 70 points in 57 games in 2024-25.
That season, Wormald scored 30 goals and added 40 assists while posting a +34 rating. He added six goals and six assists in 16 playoff games as Lethbridge advanced to the Eastern Conference Championship Series.
Wormald was named the Hurricanes’ co-MVP following the season. He had served as an alternate captain for two seasons before being named team captain for his final season in Lethbridge.

He finished his final WHL regular season with 22 goals and 42 assists for 64 points in 69 games across the two teams.
He also reached a pair of career milestones after the trade.
In December 2025, Wormald scored his 100th WHL goal in a game against Portland. In March 2026, he played his 300th WHL regular-season game.

What He Brings to Omaha
Wormald has a track record of offensive production. He reached double figures in goals in each of his five WHL seasons and produced 134 regular-season points over his final two seasons.
There’s more to his game than scoring.
A 2023 Elite Prospects scouting report highlighted both Wormald’s ability to find open space around the net and his quick release. The report also praised his defensive game, describing a player who pressures opponents without frequently taking himself out of position.
That matches the assessment Spokane made when acquiring him in December, when Bardsley called Wormald an “excellent two-way player.”

What We’ll Be Watching
The interesting question with Wormald isn’t whether he has experience or the ability to score. It’s how his game translates to college hockey — and whether he can contribute on the scoresheet like he did in juniors.
