Western Capitals sign Smith

The Summerside Western Capitals are pleased to announce the signing of forward Gavin Smith.

A native of St. Andrews, NB, the 6’2″, 183-pound forward is a 2008-born player who has spent the majority of his junior career at Rothesay Netherwood School. Smith has junior experience with both the Charlottetown Islanders of the QMJHL and the Valley Wildcats of the MHL, appearing in one game with Charlottetown during the 2024–25 season and 18 games with Valley in 2025–26, recording four goals and two assists.

Smith was originally selected by the Amherst Ramblers in the 4th Round (44th Overall) of the 2024 MHL Draft and by the Charlottetown Islanders in the 8th Round (132nd Overall) of the 2024 QMJHL Entry Draft. He was traded from Amherst to Valley in August 2025 before the Western Capitals acquired his rights from the Wildcats in June.

Welcome to Summerside, Gavin!
