Ever since 17-year-old Connor Bedard returned from the World Juniors, the Regina Pats have found themselves playing in front of packed crowds across Western Canada.
Seats at the Enmax Centre will be full Friday night when the puck drops for the Lethbridge Hurricanes’ matchup against the Regina Pats and their captain Connor Bedard.
Since the 17 year old returned from the World Junior Championships, Bedard and the Pats have found themselves playing in front of packed crowds across Western Canada. “It’s exciting for all of us to have that,” Bedard said on Wednesday. “I think that’s something you don’t really get tired of.”The game on Friday sold out, including about 300 overflow tickets. Team staff haven’t seen sales like that in years.
“When we were reaching the playoffs, getting to the second and third rounds, we’ve seen the same kind of scenario,” said Terry Huisman, Hurricanes general manager of business operations.On the Pats’ current road trip alone, the Red Deer Rebels set a regular season attendance record and more than 17,000 fans came out to see Regina play the Calgary Hitmen, creating crowds some players have never played in front of before.
