Harrison Meneghin brings WHL playoff experience
Before beginning his professional career, Meneghin played four seasons in the Western Hockey League with Lethbridge and Medicine Hat. During the 2024-25 season, he was named WHL playoff MVP and helped lead the Tigers to a WHL championship and an appearance in the Memorial Cup.
The Tampa Bay Lightning selected Meneghin in the seventh round, 206th overall, of the 2024 NHL Draft. His reassignment keeps the goaltender within the Tampa Bay Lightning organization while listing him with the Orlando Solar Bears.
FSB Take
Meneghin gives the Orlando Solar Bears a goaltender with 14 games of prior ECHL experience during the 2025-26 season. His 2025-26 numbers and WHL playoff MVP honor provide the verified background attached to the reassignment.
The 2026 preseason roster lists Meneghin alongside Ryan Bednard as Orlando’s two goaltenders. The transaction also connects the Solar Bears roster to a Tampa Bay Lightning draft selection from the 2024 NHL Draft.
