Tigers’ veterans mentor young talent, foster winning mentality in pre-season
MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Tigers have already hit the ice for a WHL pre-season game. While the pre-season doesn’t count towards their overall standing for the upcoming 2023-24 campaign, the team believes every single game on the ice is important, pushing them towards what the team hopes is a championship season.
The Tigers took a seven to two win against the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Tuesday, and will play them again on Saturday in the first home game. Returning player Shane Smith says the new band already feels strong.
“Just to see first game where you’re at and especially going in with a young lineup, kind of getting to see the younger talent and what the future looks like for the team,” says Smith. He adds, “we got tested with a bit of adversity and we battled through. So yeah, it was a really good game.”
