Vandane returns to PA
Former Prince Albert Raiders defenceman Davis Vandane’s return to PA on Sunday didn’t go exactly as planned.
He stood in the Kinsmen with crutches, favouring his right ankle that was heavily wrapped in tensor bandages as he watched his Yorkton Bulldogs junior lacrosse team lose 16-3 against the Prince Albert Predators.
After leaving Sunday’s game early, Vandane was nursing what was initially diagnosed as a Grade 2 ankle sprain—but he was in a surprisingly good mood.
Injury and all, Vandane said he got to rediscover his long lost love of lacrosse. After playing in the first-ever Pee Wee Box championships in 2007, Vandane had to give up the sport soon after to pursue his WHL hockey aspirations.
