A news release from the Pats notes that “through the Knight Archer Bobblehead night and the Prairie Mobile Skills

“Through donations from the Clark Gillies Bobblehead Night, the Pats and their fans raised $4,500. Half of those funds went towards supporting Kyle while the other half was donated to the Regina Kidney Foundation.
“Pats fans gave generously at the Skills Competition and Alumni Game, making donations at the doors and participating in a silent auction of the Alumni’s game worn jerseys. Founding members of the Shooting Stars Foundation, Mike Sillinger, Jamie Heward and Jordan Eberle, matched the donations from the jersey auction and the night raised $21,000.”

The Brandon Sun reports that the MJHL’s Dauphin Kings “have officially added 19-year-old right-winger Daulton Siwak to the roster for the rest of the season.”
Earlier this year, the Kings were hit with a $2,500 fine following a investigation into tampering allegations that were levelled by the WHL’s Prince George Cougars. Siwak left the Cougars on Jan. 6 and was suspended through Sunday.
