2022 NHL Training Camp: PA locals and former, current Raiders at NHL camps this week

Sep 23, 2022 | 1:17 PM

The day is finally here. WHL opening night has arrived in Prince Albert.

The Saskatoon Blades are in town to face off against the PA Raiders to kick off the WHL regular season kicks at the Art Hauser Centre.

Although the rival clubs will play each other more than a handful of times this season, both the Raiders and the Blades will be without some notable players for their season opener, including Landon Kosior and Nolan Allan for PA and Connor Roulette and Josh Pillar for Saskatoon.

All four of these players will be attending NHL Training Camp this week for their respective teams. So with that in mind, here’s a list of all the former Raiders and Mintos, as well as players from PA, who are participating in NHL Camps this week:

Arizona Coyotes – Adam Cracknell, from Prince Albert; Reece Vitelli, played for the Raiders from 2020-22.
