As the Challenge Cup draws nearer, one of the players fans and scouts will be keeping close tabs on is Saskatoon Junior Blades forward Kolten Olynek. The 5'7 140lb Olynek sat down and did an in depth interview with us this morning which will appear in Monday's edition of the newsletter.
Also of note this weekend is that the North American AAA Summer Classic is underway in Winnipeg. There are 5 1996 born teams there including 4 from Manitoba and the Sask-Can team from Saskatoon/Saskatchewan.
