It’s been a very eventful week for Quintin Lisoway.  First, the former Brandon Wheat King was named the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) Recycle Everywhere Player of the Week, for his efforts with the Steinbach Pistons (five points in three games).

Immediately after that honour was announced, it was confirmed that the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) had claimed the services of 19-year-old off waivers.

Lisoway, who is from Neepawa, spent the past three seasons playing with the Brandon Wheat Kings in the Western Hockey League (WHL). In 171 career games, he scored 20 goals and picked up 28 assists, as well as accumulating 24 penalty minutes.

An assistant captain with the Wheat Kings last season, Lisoway was also the recipient of the Frank King Memorial Trophy as his team’s most community minded player

Lisoway did not play for Brandon this season before being released at the overage deadline, where he was not claimed by any other WHL team. Lisoway then joined the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s Steinbach Pistons, where he had accumulated five goals and six points in five games overall thus far this season.
