The Winkler Flyers are pleased to announce the signing of forward Mitch Thiessen for the 2019-2020 Manitoba Junior Hockey League season.

Thiessen was a key member of the Brandon Wheat Kings last season, helping his club capture the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League championship.

"Mitch is a skilled and hard working player," said Flyers General Manager Jeff Jeanson. "His character both on and off the ice is also something that will make him a very valuable asset to our hockey club."

The 5’11”, 165lbs Brandon product recorded 18 goals and 18 assists in 36 regular season games last season and added five goals and five assists in 11 playoffs games.

The Flyers drafted Thiessen in the third round, 32nd overall in the 2017 MJHL Bantam Draft.
