Moose Jaw, SK – In a potential playoff preview, the Moose Jaw Warriors put their foot down against the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Tuesday night.

Jagger Firkus and Ryder Korczak led the charge with a goal and four points each as the Warriors doubled up the Hurricanes 8-4 at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

“We had a real good start, did a lot of things well, a lot of energy, we were playing the right way and we were getting rewarded for it,” Warriors assistant coach Scott King said after the game.

Connor Schmidt will be squaring off with the best players in his age group starting this weekend.

The Moose Jaw Warriors’ 2022 first round pick is representing Team Alberta at the 2023 Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island.

Schmidt is putting together a stellar season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy’s under-18 prep team in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League, posting 11 goals and 35 points in 30 games.

He’s also suited up in three regular season games with the Warriors this season.

Moose Jaw, SK – Jagger Firkus and the Moose Jaw Warriors’ offense were in high gear on Wednesday night.

Firkus picked up his first hat trick of the season, leading the Warriors to a 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

The Warriors have now won three straight, five of their last six, and six straight home games. Firkus said building momentum at this point in the season is big for the team.

Atley Calvert has accomplished a feat only done once before in Moose Jaw Warriors’ history.

With his game-winning goal in the third period against Calgary on Sunday, Calvert became just the second Moose Jaw-born player to score 30 goals for the Warriors.

“As a Moose Jaw kid, you grow up watching this team, so to play for them is just an absolute dream and it’s really cool,” Calvert said.

He joins David Bararuk, who scored 33 goals in the 2001-02 season, as the only Moose Jaw-born players to hit the 30-goal mark.

Atley Calvert was the hero for the Warriors, scoring with just 3:43 to play in a 2-1 win over the Calgary Hitmen at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Sunday afternoon.

“Calgary played hard coming off a tough loss yesterday afternoon, so they were ready to go and they played a pretty good hockey game and I thought we played a decent game as well,” Warriors assistant coach Gord Burnett said.

Ryder Korczak finished with a goal and two points, while Connor Ungar was stellar once again, making 35 saves in the victory for the Warriors.

Edmonton, AB — The Moose Jaw Warriors rode a three-goal first period and a 42-save performance from Jackson Unger to a solid win in Edmonton on Friday night.

“Jackson made some really big saves and he battled,” Warriors assistant coach Scott King said.

In his first start since a lights out performance at the Top Prospects Game, Unger was key for the Warriors in a 4-1 win over the Oil Kings at Rogers Place.

Lethbridge, AB — It was a night of bad bounces and missed opportunities for the Moose Jaw Warriors in Lethbridge.

The Warriors dropped a 4-1 game to the Hurricanes at the ENMAX Centre on Wednesday night.

“We had a lot of grade ‘A’ chances tonight, but you’re not going to score if you don’t hit the net,” Warriors assistant coach Gord Burnett said.

The Moose Jaw Warriors gutted out a victory on Saturday night.

Jagger Firkus scored the overtime winner for the Warriors as they knocked off the Medicine Hat Tigers, 3-2, at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

“It’s a big win,” Firkus said after the game. “Obviously going into this weekend, we thought they were two games that we could win and coming out with four points is great for us and more that we wanted.”

Connor Ungar made 34 saves to backstop the Warriors to the win, while Atley Calvert and Martin Rysavy scored in regulation.

A slow start didn’t stop the Moose Jaw Warriors on Friday night.

Despite giving up a goal in the opening two minutes, the Warriors cruised to a 5-1 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings, thanks to four goals in the third period.

“About 10 minutes into the first, we kind of figured it out a bit more and then come the second period, we were a little bit better and come the third, we were just firing on all cylinders,” Warriors defenceman Logan Dowhaniuk said.

Harper Lolacher and Ryder Korczak picked up two goals each, while Atley Calvert scored the other on the night.

Brayden Yager and Jackson Unger will have the opportunity to show NHL teams what they can do this week.

The two Moose Jaw Warriors have touched down in Vancouver, B.C. where they will be taking part in the 2023 Kubota CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Wednesday.

“It’s definitely pretty cool,” Yager said. “There’s a lot of talent there, so I’m really looking forward to it and going to try and have some fun.”

Unger said the game has been on his mind since he received the invite.
