With 19 W-H-L regulars returning from last season and another six players having suited up in Blue and Gold at some point and time, this coming season’s edition of the Saskatoon Blades are older and more experienced than last year.

With that, head coach Brennan Sonne (pictured) says, means heightened expectations…..

The Blades play their final two pre-season games this weekend against the Raiders, Friday in Prince Albert and Saturday in Warman. Both games will be broadcast on CJWW with pre-game talk at 6-45 and play-by-play at 7 p.m. both evenings.
