WICHITA, Kan. (Sept. 19) – The Wichita Thunder, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's San Jose Sharks, AHL's San Jose Barracuda and powered by Toyota, announced today the signing of rookie forward Tian Rask for the 2025-26 season. 

Rask, 25, turns pro after spending the last four years at the University of British Columbia (USports). A native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound forward recorded 63 points (32g, 31a) in 95 career games for the Thunderbirds.
