PATS RECALL STEEL
Regina, Saskatchewan – Regina Pats Senior VP and General Manager Chad Lang announced today the organization has elected to recall forward Sam Steel (’98) from the Sherwood Park J. Ennis Kings of the AMHL. Steel was the Pats’ 2nd Overall pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. The skilled forward was made available to join the Pats after Sherwood Park was eliminated from the AMHL Playoffs by the St. Albert Sports Raiders.
Steel played 14 league games and tallied an impressive 23 points (7G, 14A) to be one of the AMHL’s top scorer before injuries hampered the remainder of his season. In three games at the Mac’s Midget Tournament in Calgary, Steel totaled five points (4G, 1A) in three games. Steel returned to the lineup for the AMHL playoffs where he scored twice and added an assist in the best of three series against St. Albert.
Steel is expected to join the Pats today and begin practicing with the club to acclimatize to the WHL.
After a practice day today, the Pats return to action Friday against the Swift Current Broncos as they look to add to their lead atop the East Division Standings. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.ca or the Brandt Centre Box Office. For Group Ticket information, call the Pats Office at 306-337-1538.
