WHAT’S HAPPENING
Pats alumnus Jacob Wassermann will be honoured prior to the game, and will take part in a ceremonial puck drop. Wassermann is a Canadian Para rower from Regina. His life changed dramatically when he survived the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Before the accident, he was the number-one goaltender for the Broncos, and a Pats prospect. He represented Canada at the 2024 Summer Paralympics, finishing in tenth in the 2,000 meter distance.
