He would add four assists while playing in 11 games during the 2022 Kelly Cup Playoffs. The 27-year-old forward would also see 26 games of AHL action as he spent time with the Tuscon Roadrunners and San Diego Gulls.

Wichers would be traded to the Wheeling Nailers on August 11th in exhale for Keltie Jeri-Leon and would play in three games with the Nailers before being traded to Utah in December, along with future considerations for Jordan Martel. The Metcalfe, Ontario native would put up two goals and 14 assists for 16 points in 52 games as a member of the Grizzlies.
