Regina, Saskatchewan - The Regina Pats have officially signed Tyler Borstmayer and Andrew Rieder to standard Western Hockey League contracts.

Andrew Rieder (Regina, Sask.) was a training camp invitee in 2007, and proved that he could be a future member of the Regina Pats.

Regina Pats General Manager, Brent Parker is excited to lock up both players, "We are thrilled that Tyler and Andrew have committed to our organization. Tyler as well as Myles Bell will give us a nice one two punch in a few years, and we believe that Andrew will be a good two-way forward as he matures."
