“It’s an honour to play for them,” Williamson said. “They watched all my hockey games on T.V. and whatever….just knowing I’m playing for them is going to mean a lot.”

Persevering Parenteau

Raiders fans voted in their goaltender Rylan Parenteau to represent them in the WHL’s Royer Hardest Working Player contest. Parenteau received 39.14 per cent of the vote to win the Raiders’ nomination.

Parenteau has barely left the Raiders crease in the second half of the season, appearing in 11 of the last 12 games and 19 of the last 21. He ranks fifth among WHL goaltenders with 2,994 minutes played and seventh with 1,618 saves.

“It definitely means a lot, that’s any goalie’s goal to take the reins and run with it,” Parenteau said. “I’ve definitely taken pride in that and I’m obviously not going to take it for granted. I’m making sure I leave everything out on the ice, whether it’s a game or practice.

“I want to still be a mentor for Scotty (Raiders 1999-born goaltender Ian Scott), so there’s lots of things that come into play.”

Raiders can vote in Parenteau here by March 31.

Home and homer

The Raiders have reported they have already sold over 2,500 tickets for Friday’s game against the Saskatoon Blades, the final home game of the regular season. Only single seating and standing room tickets are available.

The Raiders and Blades will have a rematch to cap off the regular season on Saturday at the SaskTel Centre.

If the Raiders get a victory, or two points – via overtime and shootout losses – in the two-game set against the Blades, they will clinch home ice advantage to start the playoffs.
