With the huge match-up on the Horizon between the Kelowna Rockets and the Brandon Wheatkings, there is not only the hype of an Eastern Conference team coming to Prospera Place, but also the hype of a fairly well known name coming to town. Schenn, Brayden that is.
The younger Brother of Luke Schenn has been nothing short of outstanding in his rookie season with the Wheaties, racking up an incredible 22 Goals and 56 Points and a +22 so far this season. Not only is this his Rookie campaign, but it is ALSO his 16 year old season. We have heard of Rookies playing incredible in this league, look no further than Duncan Keith of the Kelowna Rockets back in 2002/03, when the Rockets picked him up from NCAA mid season and subsequently racking up 46 points in 37 games, but for a 16 year old to come into the WHL and make sun screen a requirement for the back of goaltenders necks on any given night, is almost unheard of.
The last time a 16 year old came into the league and score at the pace Braydon Schenn is right now, was Kyle Beach last year, and even then, Schenn is on pace to destroy Beach's point total of last year.
People will undoubtedly compare the two players as was done with the Cuthberts, but the two Schenn Borthers, like the Cuthberts play such a different style of Hockey that it's night and day between those two. Luke is a solid stay at home Defenceman and Braydon is a sheer goal scorer.
Look for Braydon to try and make Luke look silly and for Luke to try and put Braydon on his rear end on Thursday night at Prospera Place.
It would be a huge shame to miss this hockey game!
