MOOSE JAW, Sask.<\/b> – In his third season in the WHL, Connor Schmidt took another step in growing his game while being added to the Warriors\u2019 leadership group.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you picture \u2018races and battles\u2019, you picture Connor Schmidt,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cWhatever the situation or the circumstances, you know you are going to get a relentless effort and all-in compete.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schmidt\u2019s effort on the ice earned him an \u2018A\u2019 just before Christmas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt meant a lot,\u201d said Schmidt. \u201cWe have a really tight group here, so to lead that group, it was very special for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This season, Schmidt tallied a career-high 16 goals and 40 points through 66 games, and as he heads into his fourth season with the Moose Jaw Warriors, he notes that offseason preparation is key to getting a strong start at training camp next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[This offseason I want to] try to build [my game] in a lot of ways,\u201d said Schmidt. \u201c[Maybe] putting on some weight, trying to get faster, and keep working on the little details.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schmidt notes that the foundation the team built this season will be key to taking another step next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, we had a lot of guys injured throughout the year, so to see everyone push through that was good to see,\u201d said Schmidt. \u201cNext year, we need to come in really hungry and motivated to get into the playoffs.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MOOSE JAW, Sask.<\/b> – After being scratched in the first game of the year, Landen McFadden proved his value tenfold over the course of the rest of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLanden\u2019s game really matured this year,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cHis shot can beat goalies from distance and in tight, and he did a great job getting himself in positions to do just that in many big moments throughout the year.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McFadden notched two goals and five points in his season debut, helping to push the team to a 9-7 Home Opener win over the Brandon Wheat Kings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[I came] in with a lot more confidence this year,\u201d said McFadden. \u201cI think last year was a year where I took a step in the offseason to be a guy that wanted to be relied on more.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McFadden ended the season as the team\u2019s top scorer with 32 goals and 68 points, blowing away his previous career high of six goals and 15 points set during his rookie season the year before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be a guy that\u2019s relied on in every area of the ice,\u201d said McFadden. \u201cI want to come in and take the younger guys and lead by example, I want them to follow what I do, and I want to win a championship here.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McFadden notes that the season had a lot of highs and a lot of lows, most notably, the most notable low was the result of the final game, where the team fell to the Swift Current Broncos, eliminating them from the playoffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere wasn\u2019t one guy with a smile on their face [after the last game],\u201d said McFadden. \u201cIt shows that we care, and it shows that we wanted to do something, but we came up short, and hopefully we can change the narrative on that next year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MOOSE JAW, Sask. <\/b>– After missing the playoffs by a single point, General Manager Jason Ripplinger says that the season was frustrating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to look in the mirror and look at ourselves and think about where we should be better,\u201d said Ripplinger. \u201cOur coaching staff, our scouting staff, we all work hard, but we have to make some better decisions.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ripplinger points to the team\u2019s injury struggles as a negative for the season, but the positive about the number of injuries that the Warriors faced was the development of the team\u2019s rookies and prospect pool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what our league is all about, [it\u2019s] about player development,\u201d said Ripplinger. \u201cThere [were] players on our team this year that got more opportunity [due to the injuries] and they\u2019re better for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Warriors saw nine players make their debuts during the 2026\/2027 season, including 2010-born prospects Dylan Mingo (2025, 41st overall), Kash Elke (2025, 18th overall), and Jett Prpich (2025, 94th overall). Additionally, Colt Carter, Cohen Williams, Gage Nagel, and William Degagne, who made their WHL debuts in previous seasons, embarked on their rookie campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After finishing with a record of 25-36-5-2, Ripplinger notes that there are some spots on the roster to be filled, including spots vacated by the team\u2019s three graduating players, Ethan Semeniuk, Pavel McKenzie, and Aiden Ziprick. All three of the team\u2019s 20-year-olds were among the team\u2019s top four scorers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a competitive [training camp in the fall],\u201d said Ripplinger. \u201cWe have a lot of players coming up that want the older guys’ spots, so [everyone] is going to have to be ready.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MOOSE JAW, Sask. <\/b>– After an impressive sophomore season, Casey Brown is preparing for another productive offseason heading into his final year of WHL eligibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, coming in, I [was lacking] confidence from not playing,\u201d said Brown. \u201cI had to work on the consistency part for the first half, and in the second half, I think I found that.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After joining the team in November 2024 from Penticton in the BCHL, Brown recorded three goals and eight points in his rookie season. His production in his sophomore season exploded, tallying 22 goals and 38 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCasey took a huge step this year. He found ways to use his best asset of speed to influence games,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cHis production both five-on-five and on the penalty kill makes him very valuable and an important part of any line he plays with.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s impressive season ended on March 20 after leaving the Warriors\u2019 second-last regular-season game with an injury that held him out of what turned out to be the team\u2019s final game the next evening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MOOSE JAW, Sask.<\/b> – After 276 games in the WHL, 166 of those wearing the Moose Jaw crest, graduating player Ethan Semeniuk is moving on to the NCAA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt meant a lot to wear the Warrior logo,\u201d said Semenuk. \u201cMoose Jaw is a second home to me now. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be back lots over the course of my lifetime.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Semeniuk was acquired from the Vancouver Giants in the offseason of 2023 ahead of the Warriors’ 2024 WHL Championship run.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor a coach, you always have those guys that are like swiss-army knives, they fill whatever role you need them to,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes him so valuable, his ability to play any role that he needs to and, most importantly, to help the team find success.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In his first season with the Warriors, Semeniuk tallied eight goals and 24 points in 50 games played. Each season, Semeniuk bettered himself, and in his overage season, Semeniuk tallied 16 goals and 43 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t win [the 2024 WHL Championship] without that third line, and he was a big part of that,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201c[Now], he\u2019s a guy the coaches can rely on to do the right thing the right way always.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During his time with the Warriors, Semeniuk billeted with teammates Brady Ness, for his first two years, Max Finley, and, this year, Benson Hirst.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Ethan\u2019s] my billet brother, I\u2019ve lived with him for two or three years now,\u201d said Brady Ness. \u201cI\u2019ve spent a lot of time with him and made a lot of good memories. He\u2019s a guy that I look up to; he\u2019s just a great person.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Semeniuk will test out the waters of college hockey, heading south of the border to Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had the opportunity to talk to the coaching staff quite a bit before I ended up committing there,\u201d said Semeniuk. \u201cThe facility is incredible, and I\u2019m looking forward to getting to see it in person.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MOOSE JAW, Sask.<\/b> – After 220 regular-season games in the WHL, 188 wearing the Moose Jaw Warriors logo, graduating defenceman Aiden Ziprick reflects on his time in the friendly city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEver since I\u2019ve been here, I\u2019ve loved playing here,\u201d said Ziprick. \u201cThe Championship run is something I\u2019ll never forget. Being able to do that in Moose Jaw with the support we had and all the fans, it\u2019s something really special, and I\u2019ll truly remember it forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ziprick\u2019s first career goal came in the last regular season game of 2023\/2024. His second goal came two months later when the Moose Jaw Warriors were in a fight against the Drummondville Voltigeurs to keep their Memorial Cup journey alive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA big moment like [his game-winner at the Memorial Cup] can do a lot for a guy,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cCredit to him, he didn\u2019t sit on [the momentum], he used it as a stepping stone to what we see now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The momentum from his goal at the Memorial Cup, as well as increased opportunities due to players from the Championship team moving on, led to back-to-back career seasons for Ziprick.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been our best defenceman for two years now,\u201d said former captain Lynden Lakovic. \u201cHis confidence has built over the last two years, and just as a human being, learning to be a leader, his play on the ice has shown [his growth].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In his first 84 regular-season games in the WHL, Ziprick tallied one goal and ten points. Over his next 68 games, Ziprick recorded 12 goals and 48 points. And, in the 68 after that, 20 goals and 56 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Wearing this logo] meant the world to me,\u201d said Ziprick. \u201cBeing able to play with a lot of older guys [when I was young] and being able to get the mentorship from them, and then being able to carry that on in [as a leader], it meant everything to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One defenceman that Ziprick was able to mentor during his time with the Warriors was 16-year-old Colt Carter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHis leadership was top-notch,\u201d said Carter. \u201cHe leads by example, always doing the little things right and doing the right thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ziprick will continue his hockey career next season in the NCAA, heading south to Bemidji State University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to keep in really good contact with them,\u201d said Ziprick. \u201cThey\u2019re really supportive of my game and everything [I\u2019ve been working on].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MOOSE JAW, Sask.<\/b> – After 196 regular-season games over three seasons in the Moose Jaw Warriors\u2019 jersey, Pavel McKenzie is preparing for the NCAA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt meant the world to me,\u201d said McKenzie. \u201cIt was always a dream of mine to play in the Western League, and for Moose Jaw to pick me up, it was a special moment that I\u2019m going to remember.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After going undrafted through the WHL Prospects draft, McKenzie was listed by the Warriors and made his WHL debut on September 22, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s one of the smartest hockey players that we\u2019ve had in the last few years, and it makes him a guy that players want to play with,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cUsing his [hockey sense] to put himself in good places allows not only him to find success but his teammates as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In his rookie season, McKenzie found himself playing on a line with Brayden Yager and Jagger Firkus, tallying 15 goals and 36 points through 63 games and earning himself the rookie of the year title for the 2023-2024 season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat stands out with [Pavel] is his skillset,\u201d said former Captain Lynden Lakovic. \u201cOver the years, his confidence has gotten higher, and this year shows that with his production.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In his final season in the Western Hockey League, McKenzie tallied 17 goals and 66 points through 65 games, setting a career high in assists and points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHis legacy [in Moose Jaw] is that he is a champion,\u201d said O\u2019Leary. \u201cThe thing that I\u2019ll remember most about him is that he would find just as much excitement in his own success as he did with others.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next season, McKenzie will head north to Fairbanks, Alaska, to continue his hockey career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[Fairbanks] was interested in me,\u201d said McKenzie. \u201cI know people on the team and know of people that are going there next year, and I think it\u2019s going to be fun.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

MOOSE JAW, Sask. <\/b>– Although the season ended sooner than the Warriors would have liked, Captain Brady Ness still had a career year – both in points and in his growth as a leader.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBrady leads from the front in terms of his approach to each and every day,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cHe influences teammates by doing the right thing in the right way always.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ness took over the reins as captain in December after the organization announced that Lynden Lakovic\u2019s season had ended due to an injury that required surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBrady is the definition of a leader,\u201d said former Captain Lynden Lakovic. \u201cHe’s the hardest worker every day. What the fans don\u2019t see is that he’s in the gym first every day, he\u2019s on the ice first every day.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ness earned his \u2018A\u2019 back in February 2025 when Lynden Lakovic was named Captain, and since then, he\u2019s been a pillar of the Warriors\u2019 leadership group.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day I want to be the best leader I can be. It\u2019s such an honour [to captain this group],\u201d said Ness. \u201c[There will be] a lot of reflecting here in the next couple of weeks just on everything I can do [to be better next year].\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ness\u2019 first goal of the season came on December 5, an end-to-end masterpiece against the Medicine Hat Tigers. Ness added two more goals for a career-high three goals and 14 points, more than triple his previous career high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m not the offensive defenseman, so that\u2019s not my main priority,\u201d said Ness. \u201cI\u2019m more worried about playing hard, being a hard player to play against, and being a good leader; that\u2019s my main priority, if points come, points come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the loss is still fresh, Ness notes that he is proud of the group for putting together a run to the playoffs and battling through adversity all season long.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked as hard as we could,\u201d said Ness. \u201cThere are areas to improve next year, so we\u2019ll look at that over the summer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MOOSE JAW, Sask.<\/b> – After a disappointing end to their 2025-2026 season, the Moose Jaw Warriors are facing their second offseason without making the playoffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt hurts, there\u2019s no question,\u201d said Head Coach Mark O\u2019Leary. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a long summer going through the moments throughout 68 games.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Warriors found themselves in the fight on many occasions. The team played in 22 games decided by a single goal. Of those 22, seven games ended in shootout or overtime losses, seven resulted in regulation losses, and eight left the team in the win column.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long season, but those competitive moments, they matter, and they add up over time,\u201d said O\u2019Leary. \u201cYou fight all season long to have an opportunity to play in the playoffs, and for it to be in our hands [on Saturday] and come up short, it\u2019s [tough].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With injuries to players who played or were expected to play key roles with the team, the Warriors’ lineup over the season included many rookies and affiliated players who played large roles in keeping the team in the fight for the postseason.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think everybody\u2019s a year older next year,\u201d said Ripplinger. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of [prospects] that are coming up next year that will be 17-18 year olds, and they\u2019re looking for spots on our roster as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the prospects that could be fighting for roster spots is Chase Petersen. After being acquired from the Hurricanes early in the season, Chase Petersen spent this season with the Moose Jaw Winmar AAA Warriors with fellow Warriors\u2019 prospects Maxon Johnston, Tobin Schaefer, and Carson Deichert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
