Brandon Wheat King goaltender Carson Bjarnason has had both a busy and rewarding off-season so far this summer; first winning a gold medal with his Team Canada teammates at the recent 2022 Hlinka Gretzky Cup and then backstopping 2112 Hockey Agency to a WSHL Division 1 title earlier this week. The Carberry native appeared in 23 games for the Wheat Kings last year and is listed as one of the “other notable prospects” for the 2023 NHL entry draft by Elite Prospects.
