Hey there, time traveller!

The Brandon Wheat Kings have lost a third player to the college ranks.
Matteo Michels of Colleyville, Texas, who was entering his overage season, had originally signed with the University of Vermont for the 2026-27 season, but recently moved it up to this season.
That leaves the Wheat Kings with three overage candidates for their three Western Hockey League spots, veteran forward Nick Johnson and a pair of former Swift Current Broncos, defenceman Grayson Burzynski of Winnipeg and forward Luke Mistelbacher of Steinbach.
Brandon earlier lost top defenceman Quinn Mantei, who was also entering his overage season, and star forward Roger McQueen, who is going into his 19-year-old season. Both are headed to Providence College as a wave of wave of players from across the Canadian Hockey League are leaving major junior.
