The Winnipeg Jets organization has just signed a former goaltender of the Edmonton Oilers organization on Day 3 of the free agency period.

The Manitoba Moose Hockey Club announced today that the team has signed goaltender Alex Worthington to a two-year contract through the 2026-27 season.

Worthington played in 42 games with the Oil Kings last season

Worthington, age 20, posted a 22-18-2 record, supported by a 2.99 goals-against average and .902 save percentage in 42 games with the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings in the most recent season.

The Waldheim, Sask., product also appeared in two playoff contests with Edmonton, where he finished with a 1-1 record. Worthington holds a career mark of 23-23-2 in 48 WHL contests, to go with a 3.25 GAA and .895 SV%, modest numbers.

Worthington was unbelievable when he played in the ACAC

Worthington also played 10 ACAC games with Briercrest College, posting a stellar 9-1-0 record with a 2.50 GAA and .926 SV%, and he was also the league's youngest goaltender during that 2023-24 season.

Worthington is currently participating in the Winnipeg Jets Development Camp now that he has been signed by the organization, and no doubt, all eyes will be on him to see how he manages with his new club.
