Perfect mix of hockey and home brings Baumuller back to Brandon
After the year he had in 2025-26, and based on the decisions many of his peers had made, you could understand if the NCAA ranks would’ve had a powerful pull on a player like Joby Baumuller. The Wilcox native grew by a leap and a bound last season, jumping from 18 goals to 40. He proved to be one of the deadliest shooters in junior hockey, certainly having more of an offensive impact than many of his fellow WHLers who elected to head to college.
Ralph taking nothing for granted in second Wheat Kings camp
From training camp through the final buzzer, perhaps no player in the Wheat Kings organization rose higher or faster last season than Carson Ralph. For one thing, when camp began in 2025 he was not, strictly speaking, in the Wheat Kings’ organization. The 2009-born forward was an unsigned, undrafted invitee from the Alberta U17 ranks in 2025, and just 15 years old to boot. By the end of camp, he’d signed with the Wheat Kings officially.
Two-way play, team success foremost goals for Jacobson in draft year
Hockey players, as a rule, do not like to rest on their laurels or even admit that they have laurels to rest on. If anyone on the Brandon Wheat Kings could claim laurels after last season, it would be Jaxon Jacobson. The 17-year-old forward (who spent the first half of last season as a 16-year-old due to his late birthday) nearly doubled his rookie point total to 85 points, and did it while serving as the team’s number one centre, taking more than 1100 faceoffs and winning over 55 percent of them.
Rock-steady Boehm ready for pressure of leadership, draft year
It’s a good thing Nigel Boehm got some relaxation in during the offseason, because there won’t be many relaxing moments in the season itself. In fact, it promises to be a pivotal one for both him and the Brandon Wheat Kings. The hard-hitting defenseman from Corman Park, Saskatchewan enters his third season as a Wheat King with the most games played in Brandon colours among any defenseman the team has, and as one of the more experienced players overall.
Hlinka Gretzky Cup prepares Grubb for long-awaited Wheat Kings debut
Everything is coming together for Colin Grubb in a way his younger self would be absolutely thrilled about. The Minot native grew up like many young hockey players in his home state, wanting to one day play at the University of North Dakota. But after making trips north to Brandon as a child to watch the Wheat Kings play, Grubb found himself drawn to the WHL as well. And with the NCAA rule change, he gets to fulfill both dreams.
Concussions force Odut to move on
Concussions force Odut to move on The beginning of the end of Easton Odut’s Western Hockey League career may have started seven years before he first stepped on the ice with the Brandon Wheat Kings. He was playing flag football in his hometown, Dauphin, with his friends during intramurals when he was 11 and in Grade 6. “We had soccer poles at my elementary school and they were out of bounds but we kind of forgot,” Odut said.
Budd sees opportunities on and off ice with Wheat Kings
Between on-ice sessions, off-ice training, and a full schedule with his charitable work, Ryley Budd is one of the busiest young hockey players you’ll ever meet. So it comes as no surprise that when he found out he had been traded, it came right in the middle of something. The 2008-born goaltender was traded from the Saskatoon Blades, the team that had originally selected him in the second round of the 2023 WHL prospects draft, to the Brandon Wheat Kings on July 29.
Wheat Kings move Kraus, bring in Budd in pair of goaltending deals
With training camp now less than a month away, the Brandon Wheat Kings have made a pair of moves they feel will stabilize the short and long-term future of the team between the pipes. First, the team traded 20-year-old goaltender Jayden Kraus to the Everett Silvertips. Coming back the other way are a third-round pick in 2029 and a sixth-round pick that same season.
Allard becomes voice of experience for Yorkton youth, Wheat Kings
Like most young hockey players, Cam Allard spent much of the offseason golfing, relaxing with friends and family, and working out. But just lately he’s spent it paying forward a gift that was paid to him in the youngest years of his hockey career. Allard has been working with kids skills camps in his hometown of Yorkton now that the ice is back in at their local rink.
Wheat Kings forward Surkan invited to Hlinka Gretzky Cup camp
