Saturday Headlines | Mark Scheifele to become part of WHL ownership group of the Penticton Vees

Some news on Saturday Headlines tonight via Elliotte Friedman who was discussing WHL expansion which is expected to be announced on Monday.

One team leaving the BCHL to join the WHL he said are the Penticton Vees. He indicated that former NHL goalie Mike Richter is expected to be part of the ownership group along with Jets centre Mark Scheifele. He added that Scheifele’s tie is that his former billet family in Barrie is Graham Fraser.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
