WHL takes split in Canada Russia Series

Nov 7, 2018 | 11:00 AM

Team WHL wrapped up their two-game portion of the CIBC Canada Russia Series in Langley, B.C. on Tuesday night.

Raider goaltender Ian Scott had the night off after picking up the win on Monday, while forwards Parker Kelly and Brett Leason took to the ice. After a Team WHL win in Kamloops, the Russians answered back with a 3-1 win of their own on Tuesday to split the series before Russia heads east to take on the OHL, and then the QMJHL.

Leason was second amongst all players on the ice Tuesday night with four shots on goal during the game but was unable to find the scoresheet. The trio of Raiders will now return to Prince Albert and will be back in the lineup for Friday night’s contest at home against Swift Current.
