Emergence of Kosior important for Raiders in reload

Landon Kosior is logging big minutes for the Raiders.

When a team is going through a reload, you need someone to be an example of the good that comes when you do things right every day.

Landon Kosior has become that example for the Prince Albert Raiders. The 19-year-old Regina product stepped in the role of offensive-defenceman especially after the Raiders traded star rearguard Kaiden Guhle to the Edmonton Oil Kings in a blockbuster deal on Dec. 1, 2021.

In 39 regular season games, Kosior has collected nine goals and 16 assists for 25 points. His goal and point totals are career highs.

Playing in his third season in the WHL, Kosior is finding the offensive touch he had when he played in younger age groups coming up through minor hockey. Before joining the Raiders, Kosior had his most memorable campaign playing for the Tisdale Trojans under-18 AAA team in 2018-19.
