Hockey fans will have a chance to celebrate past and present talent when an alumni game is held between the U18 AAA Brandon Wheat Kings and the U18 AA Southwest Cougars at the J&G Homes Arena this weekend. ( Saturday evening, Alumni Game: 5:45 PM Puck Drop). Former Wheat Kings scheduled to take to the ice include Matt Calvert, Ryan White, Scott Hlady and Riley Day while Ryan Adams, Joel Whiteside, Corey Billaney, and Ryan Albrecht are to suit up for the Cougars. The special matchup is scheduled to bring former players back to the ice, offering spectators a unique opportunity to watch alumni from both programs lace up their skates once again. The game will highlight the rich hockey history shared by the two organizations and the role they continue to play in developing young athletes across the region. The Brandon Wheat Kings U18 AAA program and the Southwest Cougars U18 AA program have both been instrumental in preparing players for higher levels of hockey, and the alumni game is intended to recognize that legacy. It also provides current players with a chance to see where the game can take them and to connect with those who previously wore their respective jerseys.
