ROY SHARING DRAFT DRIVE There isn’t much Brandon Wheat Kings defensemen Eric Roy and Ryan Pulock haven’t done together. The duo are both eligible for the 2013 NHL Draft and broke into the Western Hockey League together in the 2010-11 season. Both have patrolled the same blue line for over 150 games together for the Wheat Kings. But only Roy skated in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game in January. A bone chip in his wrist kept Pulock in Brandon. “I kind of gave him a hard time because I didn’t think he wanted to come with me,“ Roy joked. “It was an unfortunate injury that he couldn’t come.

Lately, Roy’s game has been coming together, especially in his own end. “It’s something I’ve been focused in on this whole year,” Roy said. “I had a bit of a slow start, my plus/minus isn’t the greatest but I just try not to think about it. Me and the coaches have been working on it every day. It’s one of the most important zones in hockey. It’s a work in progress, though.” A trip to Halifax to skate in the Top Prospects Game served as reward for the 18 year-old. “Playing in the Prospects Game gave me a lot of confidence,” Roy said. “I’m just trying to keep things simple, Continued on page 2
