I bring you some news to chat about, light as it is, and we can enjoy the lack of news for one final weekend before we get inundated with prospect GIFs, training camp rosters, PTO signings and more. The Traverse City prospect showcase roster will be released soon, but junior teams are announcing player invites already. > FIVE Giants will suit up for NHL teams in their prospect tournaments next week! > > Congrats to Honzek, Lipinski, Halaburda, Leslie & Thorpe! > > 📰 MORE ⤵️ > > — Vancouver Giants (@WHLGiants) [September 7, 2023](https://twitter.com/WHLGiants/status/1699580744165884218?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Mazden Leslie is a defender from the Vancouver Giants, and had 50 points (12G, 38A) in 66 games last season.
