Brady Turko had a goal and an assist on Thursday as the Brandon U18 Wheat Kings scored a big win.
Opening the Telus Cup West Regionals at the Hockey for All Centre in Winnipeg, Turko had two points as the Wheat Kings downed the Saskatoon Blazers, 4-1. Dauphin Kings prospect Ethan Stewart also had a goal while Owen Wallace and Loughlan McMullan also scored for Brandon in the win.
In the four-team event, Brandon now moves to 1-0 during their three-game round-robin. The top two teams after Saturday's round-robin will play in the regional title game. The winner of the event advances to the Telus Cup in Nova Scotia later this month.
