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.

Wednesday was the end of an almost 2 month run in the Western Hockey League’s East Division hub in Regina, but it also spelled the completion of the WHL career of Foam Lake’s Kaleb Bulych.
Bulych and the Swift Current Broncos’ wrapped up their 24 game abbreviated schedule last night (Wed) with an overtime loss to the Prince Albert Raiders.
“It’s been pretty surreal right now, but I’m super grateful for time in the WHL. Not a lot of players get to spend a lot of time in that high-level league like I did so I’m happy to have had the opportunity to improved myself as a player and person,” Bulych said.
