The Brandon Wheat Kings have lost D Keith Aulie, their captain, with a broken right hand. They are saying he will be out indefinitely.
Aulie was injured while blocking a shot in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Raiders in Prince Albert.
Brandon learned of the injury Friday after Aulie, 19, met with doctors in Winnipeg.
Aulie, who has signed with the NHL's Calgary Flames, has 33 points and 83 penalty minutes in 58 games this season. He also played for Canada at the World Junior Championship.
Brandon is at home to the Moose Jaw Warriors tonight.
