Wednesday is your day if you live in the Russell area or are up for a ride because you're a fan of Ryder Thompson or the Western Hockey League.
As the Portland Winterhawks have arrived in Manitoba ahead of a game against the Brandon Wheat Kings on Friday, Thompson and his teammates are stopping in Russell for a practice at the arena in that community on Wednesday afternoon starting at 4:30.
Following practice, you can lace up your skates and skate with the hometown star and his teammates until 5:45.
