The Saskatoon Blades have loaned their two import players for this coming season, whenever that starts, to men’s teams in their home countries.

Twenty-year-old forward Martin Fasko-Rudas (pictured) has joined Banska-Bystrica in Slovakia’s top pro league while 18-year-old defenceman Radek Kucerik is with H-C Zubr-Prerov of the Czech-2 loop. Both will join the Bridge City Bunch when the W-H-L is cleared to start their 2020-21 season. As of now, the hope is to start December 4.
