Return of Schneider and Norris Shapes WHL Moves
Scott Cruickshank notes Andy Schneider and Clayton Norris returned from pro hockey to boost their WHL teams on West Coast swings. Medicine Hat traded Jared Bednar to Prince Albert while Swift Current sent Fred Hettle to Red Deer. Schneider’s 5 points in his first game back propelled Swift Current over Tri Cities, and Norris’ presence boosted Medicine Hat as Rob Niedermayer joined Canada’s junior squad.
