May 1, 2020 | 4:08 PM

On Friday, the Prince Albert Mintos gave their fans a really good idea of how they’ll look next season.

The Mintos announced 11 new signings to their team, as well as holding on to four returning players.

Tanner Howe, who played last year with his hometown Prince Albert Venice House Pirates, signed for the Mintos and is part of a big and talented 2005-born class the Mintos have recruited this year. That also includes Martensville’s Trae Johnson and Melfort’s Nate Misskey among others.

Returning to the Mintos are Tre Fouquette and Dallyn Peekeekoot, both draft picks of the Prince Albert Raiders back in 2019, as well as Kody Willick and Gage Helm.

Here are the signings the Mintos announced on Friday.
