1st pick Guhle already ‘loves’ being a Prince Albert Raider
Since 1990, the Prince Albert Raiders have only picked two players first overall pick in a WHL Bantam Draft. One is former Raider captain and long-time NHL’er Kyle Chipchura, chosen first in the 2001.
The other is 15-year-old Kaiden Guhle, who just finished his first Raiders training camp on Saturday after his Team Green beat Team White 7-5 in the annual intrasquad game at the Art Hauser Centre.
Saturday was the first time Guhle put on on the Green and Gold threads for a game situation with the Raiders. Previously, he was presented one when he signed with the Raiders during a ceremony that featured fellow 2017 first rounder Cohner Saleski and second round pick Ozzy Wiesblatt.
“It was really special. It got me really excited for the next few years of my life,” Guhle said of wearing the jersey at the intrasquad game. “I love this logo, I love this jersey and I want to be in it for a long time to come.”
