Regina Pats News Release


Regina, Saskatchewan - The Regina Pats have reduced their rosters by 5 players, three have been re-assigned, while two have been granted their outright release.

Released:

This was a tough decision for Regina Pats General Manager Parker, "We knew this day was going to come with our overage situation, and we felt that the sooner we made the decision the better it would be for Ryan and Kirt." Parker continues, "Doing it now will hopefully give them the opportunity to catch on with another WHL team. We thank them both for their efforts and wish them all the best."

Re-Assigned:

(D) Tyler Borstmayer - Tisdale (SMAAAHL)

(D) Travis Sparrow - Moose Jaw (SMAAAHL)
