Moe, Nachbaur and Paddock wrap up WHL careers
The strangest season in Prince Albert Raiders history concluded on Wednesday night with one of the most bizarre contests the team has ever taken part in.
With the team holding a 5-3 lead over the Swift Current Broncos at the 8:01 mark of the third period, Raiders netminder Max Paddock was given a snow shower by Broncos forward Josh Davies and proceeded to pummel him in the face as both players were down in the crease during a post-whistle scrum.
As a result of the play, Davies was given a two-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct, but Paddock was given a five-minute match penalty and a game misconduct for what the officials deemed as an attempt to injure.

The Western Hockey League has announced they will not be dropping the puck on Jan. 8 as originally planned.
The league’s commissioner Ron Robinson said in a statement published online the COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty.
“Given the public health restrictions that are currently in effect, we are not in a position to determine a new target date for our season. We will continue to consult with health authorities to determine when it is safe and responsible to get our season started,” he said.
Prince Albert Raiders play by play man Trevor Redden told MBC News this announcement means a great deal of uncertainty for players as they try to get themselves prepared to take to the ice.
