The Saskatoon Blades have reassigned two players to their respective midget teams.

Olsen, the Blades 1st round pick (20th overall) in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft, will make his way to the Greater Vancouver Canadians of the BC Major Midget League.

Dietz, a recent addition to the Blades 50-man player protected list, will rejoin the Medicine Hat Big Country Energy Tigers of the Alberta Midget Hockey League.

Prior to the weekend, defenseman Gregory Kost (Saskatoon, SK) was reassigned to the Saskatoon Blazers of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.

Twenty-nine players remain on the Blades roster - 16 forwards, 10 defenseman, and 3 goaltenders - including the contingent of Blades players headed to National Hockey League training camps this week.

The Blades next action on the exhibition schedule is Friday, September 11th against the Prince Albert Raiders at Credit Union Centre. Game time is 7:05 pm.
