NEWS & NOTES:

Load it Up: Tonight is the start of one of the busiest stretches of the 2021 season for the Wheat Kings. Brandon will play eight games in the next twelve days, with stops in four cities in three different provinces. The Wheat Kings have 10 games between now and the WHL Christmas break.

POW Snub: We're not sure what Ridly Greig has to do to earn WHL Player of the Week Honours. In three games last week the Ottawa Senators prospect scored five times and added four assists for nine points. He and his linemates also combined for 26 points in the span of a week.
