From his early days with the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers to becoming a top talent representing Canada on the world stage, Brandon Hagel’s journey through hockey has been defined by a relentless work ethic, competitive drive, and the desire to win.
“Brandon was a talented athlete who was always working to improve. What set Brandon apart from his peers was his passion for the game and his competitive drive as he had a motor that was always running at maximum. You see that motor still running strong at the NHL level and it is a fundamental component of his professional success.”
— Lee Zalasky, Fort Saskatchewan Rangers U16 AAA and Team Northeast, Alberta Cup
