Capitals trade rights to goaltender Jesse Sanche



The Summerside Western Capitals made a minor trade on Thursday.

The Capitals traded the rights to goaltender Jesse Sanche to the Whitecourt Wolverines of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), the team announced via Facebook

In return, the Capitals acquire a player development fee. 

Sanche, 20, appeared in just two games with the Capitals during the 2025-26 season picking up one win and one loss along with a 4.44 goals-against-average and a 0.855 save percentage. 

Prior to joining Summerside, Sanche played with the Penticton Vees, Everett Silvertips and Kamloops Blazers off the Western Hockey League (WHL). The native of Kamloops, B.C., finished the season with the Vernon Vipers of the unsanctioned British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). 

As per Google AI, a player development fee (PDF) is a financial payment made between Junior A hockey teams when they trade or transfer a player. It acts like a cash buyout to compensate the team that loses the player for the time and money spent training them.
