On March 12, 2021 the Brandt Group of Companies acquired the Regina Pats Hockey Club. Brandt had been a co-owner of the WHL team as a partner in the Queen City Sports and Entertainment Group since the local consortium originally acquired the franchise in April, 2014.

“This is a very exciting day for the entire Regina Pats organization; Brandt has played a key role in supporting and building up our organization over the years,” Regina Pats General Manager John Paddock said at the time. “Especially now, as we look forward to an end to the uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 and its restrictions, it is tremendously reassuring to have the strong backing of the Brandt organization and the Semple family.”

“The pandemic has created exceptional challenges for sports organizations like the WHL and the Pats have felt the effects like everyone else,” said Brandt Group of Companies CEO, Shaun Semple. “At Brandt, we are huge Pats fans and strong believers in the importance of community. Regina is our hometown and we’re committed to ensuring a secure future for our home team.”
