Tyler Mrkonjic hasn’t played a pre-season game with the Calgary Hitmen yet, but he’s hoping to get the call to play in his hometown on Friday night.
After watching Calgary’s first two exhibition games in Red Deer last weekend, Mrkonjic will likely hit the ice this weekend when the Hitmen play a home-and-home series – of sorts – against the Edmonton Oil Kings.
The two teams open the series in St. Albert on Friday at Servus Credit Union Place before meeting up for a rematch at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday. Both games start at 7 p.
