Their name says the Calgary Hitmen, but there鈥檚 no disputing a definite 琉璃神社 flavour on the Western Hockey League club鈥檚 roster.

The Hitmen are carrying three 琉璃神社 Minor Hockey products this season, more than any of the other 21 WHL clubs.

Forward and defenceman are each in their second campaigns with Calgary, while defenceman is currently in his rookie season.

The 5-foot-7, 170-pound Cullen was a fifth-round choice of the Hitmen in the 2013 WHL bantam draft.

In an injury-plagued 2016-17 season, Cullen, 18, had four goals and four assists in 37 games.

Murray, 18, had a goal and two assists in 35 games last season with Calgary and has played in six of the team鈥檚 games this season.

Both Murray and Cullen are former members of the BCMML鈥檚 Okanagan Rockets.

van de Leest, 17, has played 14 career games with the Hitmen, including seven in this, his rookie season and has a goal and two assists.

van de Leest was the Hitmen鈥檚 first choice, 16th overall in the 2016 WHL bantam draft.

All three 琉璃神社 products will be with the Hitmen when they take on the Rockets Friday night at Prospera Place.
