Brandon, Manitoba -- After three hectic days of practicing and scrimmages, the stage has been set for the Wheat Kings Annual Intrasquad Game, to be held Sunday afternoon at Brandon's Keystone Centre.

Matt Kirkpatrick, Lucas Mikkelson, Nathan Green as well as veterans Tyler Dittmer and Theran Yeo also scored for the Gold Team, who doubled up on Team Black 6-3 earlier in the day.

In that game, the Gold got goals from six different players including Boyle and Yeo - two of Brandon's six returning defencemen. The other goals came off the sticks of Green, Kirkpatrick, Dittmer and 15-year old Scott Glennie.
