Regina Pats Training Camp: Jordan Weal
Pats fans won’t have to change their cheers too much this season – in all likelihood, the best player on their team will still be named “Jordan”. And he’ll still be undersized.

Carter Ashton, a first round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2009, joined the Regina Pats partway through the 2008-09 WHL season, after being traded from the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
