The Warman U18 AAA Wildcats inaugural team is starting to come together, as the organization already has players committed to the club.
The Wildcats have successfully recruited 13 players which is a huge step preparing for the season. Even though the Wildcats were unable to have a spring camp because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization found other ways to scout the players they wanted.

The Wildcats got a commitment from another local/area goaltender in Alex Worthington. The 2005-born netminder is from Waldheim and he played with the Warman Bantam AA Wildcats last season. He posted a 7-10 record, while registering a save percentage of .903 per cent and a goals against average of 4.19.
