Game 2 of the Western Hockey League final in Medicine Hat on Sunday is far more than just another playoff game for Tigers’ captain Oasiz Wiesblatt.

It’s also Mother’s Day and will mark the first time the junior hockey star will see his mom, Kim, in two years.

Kim, who is deaf, has been working in London, Ontario while Oasiz pursued his hockey dreams.

Oasiz recently signed with the Nashville Predators, the organization his brother, Ozzy, plays in. Kim will be among the thousands that fill Co-Op Place hoping her son leads the Tigers to a 2-0 series lead over the Spokane Chiefs and, eventually, to the Memorial Cup.

You can catch Game 2 between the Medicine Hat Tigers and the Spokane Chiefs LIVE on Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. MT/6 p.m. PT on TSN1, TSN3, the TSN App, and TSN.ca.

“I’m really pumped to see her on Sunday,” Wiesblatt said on Saturday after a team meeting.

“Obviously Mother’s Day, so it’s really special.”
