Raiders send Linklater to Regina, Tisdale to AJHL

Jan 10, 2022 | 11:31 AM

While the Prince Albert Raiders await the resumption of their schedule, general manager Curtis Hunt has not been idle. The team made a pair of moves today, sending two players away from the team and, in one case, bringing a draft pick back the other way.

In the first of two moves, the Raiders sent 2003-born forward Logan Linklater to the Regina Pats. In exchange, the Raiders acquire a conditional eighth round pick in the 2023 prospects draft.

Linklater played with the Raiders in the hub environment in Regina last season, suiting up in 22 games and scoring once, while adding four assists. The Kindersley native has not played in the WHL this season, playing instead for his hometown Kindersley Klippers of the SJHL, where he’s put up 14 points in 26 games, good enough for fifth on the team.

Also today, the Raiders announced they have sent goaltender Cole Tisdale to the Whitecourt Wolverines of the AJHL. Tisdale made just two appearances for the Raiders after being acquired on Dec. 12, once against the Red Deer Rebels on Dec. 29 and once in relief against the Saskatoon Blades on Dec. 30.

The team added goaltender Max Hildebrand to the roster on Jan. 2. He dressed as the backup goaltender for the game against the Edmonton Oil Kings that night, a 5-2 Raider victory.

With their upcoming game against Edmonton postponed, the Raiders are awaiting word on when their next scheduled game will be. The next home game on the schedule is Jan. 21, when the Winnipeg ICE visit the Art Hauser Centre.
