He was second on the team in assists and tied for third in points, while serving as an alternate captain for the second straight season.
A native of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Newkirk had 69 goals and 93 assists in 205 career WHL games. He posted WHL career highs in goals (29) and points (65) in 2019-20, finishing second on the team in goals and third in points.
