Red Deer, Alberta - The Western Hockey League's Brandon Wheat Kings welcomed a new face at practice in Red Deer on Monday as they continue preparations on what will be a busy 4-game in five night Alberta road swing.

15-year old right winger Klarc Wilson, the Wheat Kings' first pick (10th overall) in last spring's WHL Bantam Draft, joined the club today and is expected to remain with the club until Wednesday.

With Wilson leading the club in scoring, the Pats are currently sitting in fourth place in the Dodge North Division with a record of 13-11-6 through the first thirty games.

The Wheat Kings will play the Rebels on Tuesday, before travelling to Edmonton to face the Oil Kings on Wednesday. Brandon will close out the trip this weekend with games against Kootenay and Calgary on Friday and Saturday nights respectively.
