Brandon, MB. - The Western Hockey League's Brandon Wheat Kings have announced that rookie defenceman Jack Zayat has been reassigned to the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
A 17-year old Calgary product, Zayat has appeared in nine games for the Wheat Kings and eleven since signing with the WHL club last winter.
