On Tuesday (January 24), Airdrie's Brandon Machado got called up to the WHL by the Saskatoon Blades.

Machado says he couldn't be more excited to join the team.

"It means a lot obviously. It's a great organization, nothing bad to say about them and it's good to come up and see what the speed's like and be around the guys. I love being around the guys, it's a great group, all the way from the staff and the management and the coaching. I love it here, I couldn't ask for a better organization to be a part of."

Machado is now in Saskatoon, and he says the transition was seamless.

"They're taking really good care of me. They set me up with some really great billets. They take care of you really well here and it's been a great time."
