The Dauphin Kings’ top scorer from the last two seasons will take his talent to the Niagara University Purple Eagles of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, a Division 1 school.
Cayden Glover joined the Kings early in the 2023-24 season from the Western Hockey League’s Prince George Cougars.
He led the team with 48 points in 50 games, including 20 goals. This season, Glover led the Kings with 33 goals and 52 points in only 38 games, missing the final six weeks with an injury.
The Kings continue recruiting for next season, with Quebec City’s Emrick Gagnon being the latest player to sign a letter of intent.
Gagnon played for Nichols School in the United States High School Preparatory, where the 19-year-old scored 19 goals and added 29 assists for 48 points in 66 games.
Registration is now open for the Kings’ development camp, which runs, Aug. 25 to 28, for ages seven and up.
Instructors will include former Kings Aidan Brook, Carson Cherepak, Brayden Dube, Riese Gaber, Nakodan Greyeyes, Grady Hobbs, Owen Wareham and Cole Sheffield, as well as current players and coaches.

Track provincials
cancelled
The Manitoba High School Athletic Association’s track and field provincials, scheduled for early June, were cancelled due to poor air quality as a result of the wildfires throughout the province.
There were athletes from Dauphin who were going for the first time, but also repeat athletes. Some of their ranked times for the 100-m were in the top eight and for the 400-m in the top four in the province.
