Featherstone joins the K-Wings after spending his rookie campaign with the Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League. A physical stay-at-home defenseman, Featherstone registered 10 points (2 goals, 8 assists) in 62 games with the Bucks. Featherstone finished the season with a +19, which not only lead his team, but it was also the top plus/minus rating of any rookie in the CHL.

"He (Featherstone) is a young defenseman that possesses the speed and size needed to compete in the ECHL," said Wade Welsh, general manager. "Not only is he strong in the defensive zone, he also loves to play the body."

Before turning pro, Featherstone played two seasons of collegiate hockey at the University of Lethbridge (CWUAA) and four years of Junior 'A' hockey with the Prince George Cougars (WHL).
