2025 WLA season comes to a close

The Nanaimo Timbermen season is now over and the team will not be in the post season in 2025.

It was a year of transformation for the organization with many roster changes and the development of a new core.

With a 2-16 record Nanaimo finished seventh in the WLA standings which will mean the club will pick first overal in the 2026 entry draft.

The return from a full year off for sniper Ryan Sheridan headlined the Nanamo performances on the floor.

Sheridan led the Tmen with 27 goals and 52 points.

First year standout Noah Manning put up 22 points in just eight games in a shortened season for him.

Veteran Colton Lidstone was the only player to suit up for all 18 games and he finished second in team scoring with 49 points, and first on the Timbermen with 36 assists.

The team is building a new core on defense with the likes of Aidan Solomon, Aidan Collery, Josh Gabriele, Tysen Nielsen and Jordy Neary.

In goal the tandem of Devlin Shanahan and Colby Bowman took another step forward in 2025.

With some high level talent graduating from the Junior A Timbermen, Nanaimo will look to make significant improvements in 2026.
