Bronsyn Mouille understands what he is, and that may take him a long way to winning a job with the Brandon Wheat Kings.
The 17-year-old forward from Peace River, Alta., can create the points, but also needs to throw some havoc into the mix.
“I’m a big power forward who brings hard skill,” said Mouille, who is inspired by National Hockey League players such as Tom Wilson and Brandon Hagel. “I can have a physical presence.”

The six-foot-two, 189-pound forward went undrafted by Western Hockey League clubs in the spring of 2024 but after a terrific camp in Brandon that fall, the Wheat Kings listed him.
“It was funny,” Mouille said. “I was in school and Chris Moulton texted me and told me I was with the Brandon Wheat Kings. It was really exciting.”
“It was kind of a relief,” he added.
He came to camp again last year and after another strong showing, seemed poised to make the jump to the pre-season roster. Unfortunately, a late injury sidelined him and the potential opportunity passed.
“It was definitely hard,” Mouille said. “Everything happens for a reason I think, but it was definitely hard.”
Moulton, who serves as Brandon’s director of hockey operations, said the big teenager was knocking on the door a year ago, and after making the jump from under-17 to U18 hockey last winter, has really improved
“Bronsyn has to come in and make our hockey team,” Moulton said. “I think he’s as close as he’s ever been. He knows what we want of him and he’s really taken a step playing U18. “The thing about Bronsyn is that he’s a big strong kid who has a physical presence, an area of need for our hockey team. We’ve been really clear with him about what our expectations are and he knows what he wants to be. He had a good first day, so hopefully the scrimmages help him.”
Camp continues today at Assiniboine Credit Union Place, with the prospects game there on Sunday morning and the annual Black And Gold game at J&G Homes Arena in the evening.
Since it’s Mouille’s third camp in Brandon, things have gotten a lot easier for him.

“You get to know everyone and get to know all the guys better,” Mouille said. “It’s nice.”
He spent his major U15 season with the Northern Alberta Xtreme varsity AAA team, piling up 62 points in 26 games and earning a one-game callup to the U15 prep squad. In the 2024-25 season, he had 32 points in 33 games with the U17 prep squad, and a goal in six games with the U18 prep team.
After the season, however, he decided to make the jump to OHA Edmonton’s under-18 prep squad, where Mouille had nine goals, 14 assists and 42 penalty minutes in 30 games last winter.
“It was definitely a big difference,” Mouille said. “The facility there was much better and the staff was way more helpful.”
Mouille may have played his best hockey at Calgary’s prestigious Circle K Classic where he had seven goals and two assists in just six games.
“Especially in that big of a tournament, it was nice to find the net a few times,” Mouille said. “The puck was just on my stick and I was finding the back of the net.”
He noted he isn’t a pass-first or shoot-first guy in general, saying it depends on the situation he finds himself in.
Mouille also skated in six games with the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Drayton Valley Thunder, where he didn’t get any points but earned 10 minutes in penalties. “It’s definitely a faster pace and quicker decision making,” Mouille said. “It’s more physicality.”
If he’s unable to crack Brandon’s roster this fall, he’ll likely end back up back in the AJHL with Drayton Valley or the Canmore Eagles.

But he would far rather be a Wheat King.
“It’s a huge goal actually,” Mouille said. “It’s been a dream of mine for quite some time now: Hopefully I can pull it off this year.”
And since he understands what he is as a player, he also understands what has to happen to get him there. Now it’s just a matter of delivering.
“I have to play big and be comfortable and have confidence that I can play here,” Mouille said. “I have to use my body and do the best I can.”
