Berkly Catton's story
Growing up in Saskatoon, Catton developed his game through local AA and AAA programs and spent a season at Shattuck‑St. Mary’s at the 16U AAA level, experiences that sharpened his scoring instincts and competitive habits early on.
Taken first overall by the Spokane Chiefs in the 2021 WHL bantam draft, he opted for major junior hockey instead of the college path. In 2022–23, his first full WHL campaign, he put up 23 goals and 55 points in 63 games and earned a nomination for the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as the league’s top rookie.
The 2023–24 season was a breakout year: on March 5 he surpassed 100 points, recording a hat‑trick and a career‑high five‑point night in a 6–3 victory over Victoria. He closed the season with 54 goals and 116 points—fourth in the WHL—and led the circuit with seven short‑handed goals; his 1.71 points per game paced all draft‑eligible CHL players. Those numbers secured him a spot on the CHL Second All‑Star Team and attention among top prospects leading into the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
Back with Spokane as captain for 2024–25, Catton produced 38 goals and 71 assists in 57 games while keeping his penalty minutes to a career low (30). He received the Brad Hornung Trophy as the WHL’s most sportsmanlike player, was a finalist for the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy as league MVP, and steered the Chiefs to a long playoff run that ended in the WHL Finals against Medicine Hat. After the postseason he was named CHL Sportsman of the Year and again selected to the CHL Second All‑Star Team.
Internationally, Catton captained Canada’s Red squad to silver at the 2022 U‑17 World Hockey Challenge and was named to that tournament’s all‑star team. He added a bronze at the 2023 IIHF U18 Worlds (one goal, four points in seven games) and captained Canada to gold at the 2023 Hlinka‑Gretzky Cup, finishing the event as its leading scorer with eight goals and ten points. His game is defined by consistent goal scoring, effectiveness on the penalty kill, and a steady offensive production that translated quickly to higher levels.
