COLUMN: Getting you set up for Raider camp
The Prince Albert Raiders training camp is finally here. Here’s a couple of storylines that fans can look at while following along with camp this week, Aug. 27-31.
Who are going to be the overagers?
As it stands now, the Raiders have five overagers to choose from, Jesse Lees, D, Jordan Tkatch, C, Craig Leverton, LW, Mackenze Stewart, D, and Hunter Warner, D. Stewart and Warner have signed pro contracts with NHL teams, the Vancouver Canucks and Minnesota Wild, respectively.
Although the defensive and physically-minded Stewart and Warner would likely be welcome additions to the Raiders should their professional teams return them to the WHL level, the Raiders are coming off one of their worst offensive seasons in recent years and could use all the offensive options they can get.
