The #27 jersey was one commonly seen taking a face off, making a hit and scoring goals during the past three seasons for the Estevan Bruins, as it's wearer, Jake Fletcher, left his mark on the team and opposing players.

However, the number will soon have a different name above it on the back, as Fletcher announced recently that he has committed to Concordia University in Montreal.

The 5'10, 180 pound forward scored 52 goals and 123 points over 149 Junior A games, and as Captain of the Bruins for the 2017-2018 season, led the SJHL in playoff goals with 11. He also led his team through their best season in 19 years, all the way to game seven of the Canalta Cup final, where they fell 2-1 to the Nipawin Hawks. The lone Estevan tally that game was thanks Fletcher.
