For the past four seasons, Brayden Point has brought fans to their feet at Mosaic Place with his dazzling plays and unmatched work ethic.

With the end of the Moose Jaw Warriors’ season last Friday, that also marked the end of the Point era in Moose Jaw as he’s expected to turn pro next season.

While he might be gone after this season, the impact that Point had on the Warriors and the City of Moose Jaw will be felt for years to come.

“You’re going to need a long piece of paper for that one,” said an emotional Brett Howden on how Point has helped him during his two seasons in Moose Jaw.  “That guy has done a lot for me, he’s been by my side for two years now and it’s a sad moment.”

On the ice, Point burst onto the scene with the Warriors as a 15-year-old during the team’s run to the Eastern Conference Final in 2012.  He stepped right into the lineup as a 16-year-old and carried the team for the next four seasons.

In 252 games, Point scored 134 goals (2nd in team history) and posted 324 points (3rd in Warriors’ history).

“It was a real thrill to coach Brayden, he keeps that visual in your mind of what a really good hockey player looks like,” said head coach Tim Hunter.  “I’ll know what a good junior player is suppose to look like when Howden, Gregor, Popugaev and Bowen, these guys are all 19, I’ll have that visual of what a really good hockey player looks like.

“He’ll be a pro, he’ll play in the NHL one day, he’ll have a great career because he competed every night and gave everything he could at this level and we’re really thankful for that.”

Off the ice, Point has been involved with Hunger in Moose Jaw for the past four years and in partnership with Mosaic this season through the Points for Hunger program, helped to donate over $22,000.

There was plenty of rumours surrounding Point during his final season with the Warriors as the team entertained trade offers for him, but the two-year captain of the Tribe made it clear he wanted to finish what he started in Moose Jaw.

Point took his game to another level in the big moments and he did everything he could to continue the Warriors’ season in the playoffs this year, finishing with six goals and 16 points in 10 games.

After the Warriors’ 7-3 loss to the Brandon Wheat Kings in Game 5 of the second round on Friday, which eliminated them from the post-season, Point said it was tough to take off his Warrior jersey that one final time.

“I’ve had a lot of good times, a lot of memories, so that was tough,” said Point before loading onto the team bus one final time.

Coming into Moose Jaw as a tiny player with a lot of heart, Point worked hard to gain opportunities with the Warriors.  He credited the team with giving him a chance to succeed.

“They gave me chances that I might not have gotten on other teams, they took a chance on me in the draft even, me being a small guy.  They put their trust in me and I trusted them and things worked out pretty well,” said Point.

“It’s been fun.  I got a lot of opportunity, I got a lot of ice time over my years and I tried to make the most of it, so I’m sure looking back on all I’ve accomplished here and seeing something like that, or showing my kids, it will be pretty cool.”

The future is wide open for Point, who will now turn his attention to making an impact at the pro level.  He’s expected to join the Tampa Bay Lightning organization next season, either in the AHL or NHL.

There’s one thing that is clear though, Point will always have a place in Warriors’ history.
