Minto-loaded Mustangs heading to Fort Mac
The SJHL champion Melfort Mustangs will be taking a lot of Prince Albert products as they head into the Western Canada Cup April 25-May 3 in Fort McMurray, Alta.
Adam Fauchoux, Luc Lemire, Eric Young and Braxx George are all from Prince Albert and all played their midget AAA hockey with their hometown Mintos. Other Mintos alumni on the Mustangs roster are Justin Boyer, Regan Wilton, Bryton Serafini, Dakota Boutin and Teal Sobkowicz.
“It’s awesome, it makes you feel right at home,” said Lemire, 20-year-old defenceman for the Mustangs. “The Mintos are a great organization, they bring in a lot of players. Melfort definitely realized that and did good recruiting.
“It’s good to have the guys here, a lot of them have played together before. We kinda had that chemistry coming in and went from there.”
