SISU Thunderbirds Alumni Spotlight

The SISU Thunderbirds Hockey Club is proud to recognize Sam Waselko and Sam Stedke on their advancement to AAA hockey this season with the West Chester Express competing in the Tier 1 Hockey Federation 18U level.

Former teammates on the SISU Thunderbirds 18U AA team, both players made the jump to Tier 1 hockey together—an accomplishment that reflects their development, commitment, and ability to compete at a higher level.

Sam Waselko delivered a strong season, appearing in 67 games while recording 12 goals and 36 assists for 48 points, demonstrating high-level consistency and offensive impact.

Sam Stedke competed in 24 games, contributing 2 goals and 6 assists for 8 points, continuing to grow and adjust to the pace and demands of AAA competition.

Their progression from SISU Thunderbirds 18U AA to AAA hockey is a direct reflection of the work they’ve put in and the standard they helped build within the program.

We are proud of both players and look forward to their continued success.
