THE Winnipeg Wild of the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League are out to a 2-1 start at the prestigious Mac's Midget AAA World Invitational Tournament in Calgary.
The Wild have wins over Saskatchewan's Prince Albert Mintos and the Edmonton SSAC, with a loss to B.C.'s Cariboo Cougars.
The Wild will meet the Calgary North Stars tonight in their final round-robin game. The playoff round is set for Monday with the championship final on Tuesday.

THE Brandon Wheat Kings found out on Thursday they will be re-joined by left-wing Michael Ferland, a 20-year-old player who has been reassigned to the Western Hockey League team by the Calgary Flames.

In 68 games with the Wheat Kings last season, Ferland scored 96 points, including a team high 47 goals.
THE Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League will hold its annual all-star game on Jan. 12, 2013 at the Credit Union Place in Dauphin at 3:30 p.m.
The East Division team will be coached by Dan Eliasson of the Winnipeg Thrashers and the West Division team will be coached by Ken Schneider of the Brandon Wheat Kings.
