Moose Jaw Warriors News Release


The Moose Jaw Warriors have three players rated on the NHL Central Scouting's preliminary players to watch list, released on Tuesday.

Brayden Yager leads the way as he earned an A rating, which indicates a first round candidate for the 2023 NHL Draft.

Riche has three goals and four points in 10 games during his rookie season with the Warriors.
