Bandits gearing up for Western Canada Cup
MEDICINE HAT, AB — On Saturday the best Junior ‘A’ hockey teams in western Canada will begin their march towards the RBC Cup and the Brooks Bandits are one of them.
The Bandits captured their second AJHL title in a row this year after losing just a single game in the playoffs, but success at the Western Canada Cup has been more elusive.
“I think in past years we’ve stressed being the best team the whole way through, and I don’t think that’s necessarily the case,” said Bandits Head Coach and GM Ryan Papaioannou after the team’s practice Monday. “I think we need to be the best team by the second weekend.”
