With Kaiden Guhle still on the sidelines with a hand injury and Nolan Allan gearing up to join Canada’s Under-18 team in Texas, the Prince Albert Raiders have called up one of their top defensive prospects.
The team announced on Monday afternoon that 16-year-old blueliner Tre Fouquette had been added to their roster after clearing Saskatchewan Health Authority and Western Hockey League protocols.

According to his great uncle Garth Peekeekoot, that feeling is reciprocated by everybody back home.
The band actually went as far as broadcasting Thursday’s Raider game on a big drive-in screen, with people cheering on Dallyn from the comfort of their own vehicles. They sure picked a great game, as Dallyn scored a goal and assisted on the Raiders’ other two. He also mixed in a fight as he got the better of Saskatoon Blades’ defenceman Wyatt McLeod, who is four years his senior. He now has two goals and four points in five games for the Raiders.
“When he was introduced in the starting lineup, the horns blared. When he was on the ice and he made a hit, the horns blared,” Garth said. “I thought I’d get out and record it, because this is probably not something we’re going to experience for a while, especially in the pandemic. So, I thought I get out and record, especially when he scored his goal. It just happened naturally…the atmosphere was amazing.”
“You can’t just go and throw money around building a bigger than needed facility just for the one or two or three times you may need it [more seating],” he said, adding that the Art Hauser Centre will continue to be available and another larger arena is hopefully on the way for the city.
The Prince Albert Skating Club is similarly enthusiastic about the plans.
Coach Shelia Fazio said the planned facility will allow Prince Albert to host provincial skating competitions something the city hasn’t been able to do for a number of years since rules changed to require a twin arena.
