Moose Jaw, Sask. – The Moose Jaw Warriors will have eight alumni suiting it up for teams in the National Hockey League to start the season.

"Anytime that you can have four wins right off the bat, it definitely helps. I think the big thing now for us is not being complacent. We're not satisfied with a 4-1 record. We want to be better and I think the players want to be better. They see that we can go into every game and regardless who we're playing, expect to win every game -- that's the mindset that we've instilled now...we don't want to be complacent."
