Trent was an exceptional athlete and leader. He was small in stature but big in presence. He had finally achieved his dream of playing in the WHL and was a big reason for the success we had as a new franchise. He was kind, passionate, driven and friendly to all who met him.
Scotty Kruger "Krugs"
Scotty was a little man in a big mans game. He was very talented and had a vision that allowed him to be one of the best in the league. He was fun-loving, a jokster, motivated and willing. He was a big part of the Swift Current community.

Brent Ruff "Ruffles"
Brent was a young man whose passion allowed him to be playing in the WHL as a 15 year old. I remember it being a hard decision whether to keep him or not and in the final game to prove himself he showed was he was capable of and made the team. His promise of becoming an NHL hockey player was immenent.
Chris Mantyka "Chief"
Chris was one of the kindest teammates I had ever had. He happily took on the role of the protector. He had great skills and could fight off all comers. He was our enforcer and was one of the leagues toughest and kindest players. His smile was infectious as was his attitude.
