Prince Albert, SK - The Prince Albert Raiders would like to congratulate defenceman Brendan Guhle who was named on Monday to Team WHL's roster for the 2015 CHL Canada Russia Series.
The Sherwood Park, AB native was selected to the roster after returning last week from the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres. In four games this season with the Raiders, Guhle has recorded four assists.
Guhle was taken by the Sabres in the second round, 51st overall, in the 2015 NHL Draft. The six-foot-two, 189-pound blue liner was signed by the NHL team to a three-year entry-level contract on July 27.
