History
The Silvertips made Brady Calla their fourth round pick in the 2003 bantam draft. The native of Kelowna, BC spent most of his formative years in the Westside Minor Hockey Association program.
2005-06: Calla, a three-year veteran in Everett, played most of the season alongside Zach Hamill (eligible 2007) and team scoring leader John Lammers (DAL). He scored eight goals and 33 points in 66 games. Calla was a member of Team Cherry at the 2006 CHL/NHL Top Prospects game and won a gold medal as alternate captain for Team Canada at the 2005-06 U-18 World Championship.
2006-07: In 68 games, Calla tallied 15 goals and 26 assists for 41 points. In addition, he registered 42 penaty minutes. He was traded from the Everett Silvertips to the Moose Jaw Warriors.
2007-08: Calla swapped teams with Keaton Ellerby halfway and responded. When all was said and done, he had put up 12 goals and 28 assists, with the majority of his points coming after the trade. His postseason run was emphatically cut short in the first round of the playoffs by the Tri-City Americans in a decisive four-game sweep. Calla signed a three-year deal with the Panthers in May, 2008.
