The Prince Albert Raiders are sending a handful of prospects to the 2017 WHL Cup, Oct. 18-22 this year in Calgary.

Kaiden Guhle and Ozzy Wiesblatt will represent Alberta, Jakob Brook and Evan Herman will be on Team Manitoba and Davin Griffin will be the lone player wearing Saskatchewan green.

The Raiders drafted Guhle first overall in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft. He has a goal and three assists in his first five games in the CSSHL with the OHA Edmonton Midget Prep team.

Wiesblatt, a second round pick of the Raiders, is playing with the Calgary Buffaloes in the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey League this year.

The Raiders picked Brook in the third round, 40^th overall in the past draft. The younger brother of Moose Jaw Warriors defenceman Josh Brook has three assists in as many games with the Rink Hockey Academy in the CSSHL. His Rink teammate Herman, picked 64^th overall by the Raiders, will join him on the Manitoba club.
