Pair of Pat C products prod for P.A. positions
As they fight for a spot on the Prince Albert Raiders in their first year of eligibility, prospects Adam Herold and Eric Pearce are coming off quite an eventful season.
Herold and Pearce were on the Regina Pat Canadians team that dominated the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League on the way to a provincial championship, and qualified for the Telus Cup nationals. They finished in fourth in the big dance, losing 4-1 in the bronze medal game to the Mississauga Rebels.
“I definitely learned a lot more than any year of hockey,” Pearce said. “Playing against the best teams, especially in the Telus Cup, it gave me a confidence boost with us being a top team all season and playing with good players.”
Not only was the calibre of the opponents good for development, but the sheer number of games was a lot larger for the two young men than in previous years.
