Hunt emphasizes consistency as Raiders prospects shine
For the third straight year, multiple Prince Albert Raiders prospects have been named to the 2017 WHL Cup, a sign that the organization is moving in the right direction according to General Manager Curtis Hunt.
“I think it’s a great credit to Ron Gunville and his staff, the work those guys put in, the research they do in finding our players,” Hunt said. “Beyond the players we’ve got a group of great kids and that’s just as if not more important than the players that they are.”
It was announced on Wednesday Raiders prospects Kaiden Guhle and Ozzy Wiesblatt were named to Team Alberta, Jakob Brook and Evan Herman were named to Team Manitoba, and Davin Griffin was named to Team Saskatchewan for the newly named WHL Cup.
The WHL Cup (formerly known as the Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup) features the highest-rated players in the under-16 category from the four western provinces.
