OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The Oklahoma City Warriors, proud members of the NA3HL South Division, announced Thursday the signing of forward Keeghan Middleton for the 2026-27 season. 

Middleton, 17, heads into the Sooner State after spending the season with the Philadelphia Hockey Club (HC) 16U AAA, which competes in both the Atlantic Youth Hockey League (AYHL) and North American T1ER Hockey League (NAT1HL). 

“Keeghan is a player we’re really excited to add to our group,” Assistant Coach Artem Lantukh said. “At 6-foot-2, he already has the size to be an effective player. There’s still plenty of room for him to develop as well. We believe his best hockey is still ahead of him, and we’re looking forward to helping him reach that next level.”

In 12 AYHL games, the 6-foot-2 forward registered one goal and two assists, adding three goals and three assists to his season total in 16 NAT1HL games. 

The Middletown, Delaware native spent the 2024-25 season in the Philadelphia HC organization for the 15U team, logging one goal in 16 AYHL outings, additionally adding one assist in 14 NAT1HL appearances.
