Brooks claimed by Jets

Adam Brooks (Regina 2012-17) was placed on waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs one day after they claimed him from the Vegas Golden Knights. Brooks was claimed by his hometown Winnipeg Jets.

He has been on the move in the 2021-22 season, he played four games with the Montreal Canadiens (one assist) before being acquired by the Golden Knights where he has played in seven contests scoring twice. He has also played five games with Henderson Silver Knights where he had 3 assists when he was on a conditioning loan with the AHL club.

The Winnipeg product played his entire five-year DUB career with the Pats where he played 317 games picking up 335 points (119G-216A) during his tenure with Regina.

Rask waived by Wild

Victor Rask (Calgary 2011-13) was placed on waivers by the Minnesota Wild. The 28-year-old has played 29 games with the Wild so far this season and has picked up 13 points (5G-8A), he had joined the Wild during the 2018-19 season.

In two seasons with Calgary, the Leksand, Sweden product played 101 games where he averaged 1.04 points-per-game with 104 (47G-57A).

A lifelong season ticket holder for the Regina Pats. His fascination with the Pats became an obsession at around 16-years of age when he stumbled across an old published list of ALL-TIME REGINA PATS SCORING and GOALTENDING. The list that was published was incomplete and that was not acceptable to him. Over the last 20-plus years, he has done what he can to finish that list and continues to try to complete the history of the Pats. He is an unofficial Pats historian.
