Andrew Basha is headed to the Memorial Cup with the Medicine Hat Tigers.

Basha had ankle surgery in January and didn't expect to play again this season .

The Calgary Flames drafted Basha in the early stages of the second round at No. 41 overall.

The Tigers will face Rimouski Oceanic Oceanic in Friday ’s Memorial Cup opener at 5 p.m. MT .

The last thing he wanted to do was stop playing and not be with his teammates, Edwards said.

“This kid kept fighting through it and kept trying to play,” Edwards said. “And then to see all the work that he put in after surgery and fighting and scratching and clawing to get back in, what it does is sort of put a feather on top of Tod ’s group.”.
