As well, 16-year-old forward Cooper Williams was named WHL Rookie of the Week.
Two Saskatchewan men facing charges of human trafficking are to appear in court in Rosetown on Thursday.
The charges against 41-year-old Mohammad Masum from Tisdale and 52-year-old Sohel Haider stem from an RCMP investigation into forced labour at three Saskatchewan restaurants.
On July 6, the RCMP said in a release that a woman from Bangladesh in Canada on a visitor’s permit was forced to work 10- to 12-hour days at restaurants in three different towns — Gull Lake, Elrose and Tisdale — after she applied for a restaurant job in Saskatchewan.
The RCMP said the woman stayed in a dark, unfinished concrete basement when she wasn’t working.
On June 29, two men were arrested in connection to the case in Tisdale, along with a third man in Elrose.
The third man was later released without charges.
Masum is also facing three charges of sexual assault.
The case is to be heard for the first time at 10 a.m. at Rosetown’s provincial circuit court, but it’s unknown whether the men will be present for the appearance.
