Raiders’ Euros hit the Art Hauser ice for the first time
Meet the two new Europeans on Prince Albert Raiders, Norwegian, 18-year-old, forward Jonas Knutsen and 17-year-old defenceman Kristaps Bazevics from Latvia.
Knutsen was the first Euro picked by the Raiders this year, drafted 18th overall in the WHL European Draft and said he’s ready to get his WHL career started.
“I’m really excited, hope we can come along and just win all the time,” said Knusten.
The Raiders scouted Knutsen primarily at the U18 World Championships, scoring three goals in six games for Team Norway.
