I remember watching a bit of basketball at the U of W when the “Caronport Clippers” (as they were then called) were playing the Wesmen. A babysitter took me and my sister there for a few minutes. I’m not expecting a lot of reports on the game, unless through Briercrest’s Instagram. Their website has no news stories and their schedule is regular season only. The Clippers beat Jamestown (ACHA) 4-2 twice last weekend. The Bisons demolished Jamestown back in 2017 (IIRC). It was barely competitive hockey. MANITOBA BISONS (0-0-0) REGINA COUGARS (1-1-0) Saturday, September 16th at 1:00 CST/2:00 CDT at Regina, SK Live Links: ➤ None Manitoba Links: ➤ GoBisons: Team Website Regina Links: ➤ Regina: Team Website Regina hasn’t uploaded a news story since the end of last season, so they are Cats of Mystery this year. Elite Prospects list just four announced rookies for them: - Benjamin Christian - D - Drumheller (AJHL) - Leyton Holoien - D - Melfort (SJHL) - Ayden Third - D - Vernon (BCHL) - Jordan Borsyiuk - C - Lloydminster (AJHL) The Banjo-Cats did manage a split with Sask last weekend on neutral ice, so they must have something going for them.

CALGARY DINOSAURS (2-0-0) SASKATCHEWAN HUSKIES (1-1-0) Links: ➤ UofC: Team Website ➤ UofS: Team Website Neither side has their current roster page updated. Sask has no news stories posted since the end of last season. Bedrock U’s sweep of the Evil Monkeys has to more impressive that Sask’s split against their Banjo-loving brethren. MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS (1-0-0) ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS (1-3-0) Links: ➤ UofA: Team Website ➤ MRU: Team Website This is a home-and-home series, Friday in Edmontown and Saturday in Calgary. Neither side has a roster page uploaded, however the Evil Monkeys did upload rosters and stats for their home game against MacEwan two weeks ago. They are slated to do so again on Friday, so check the above LeagueStats link. The Monkeys cannot be happy with a 1-3-0 start. The Bluegars were supposed to play MacEwan twice last weekend, but damaged them too much on Friday so that Saturday’s game was cancelled. U.B.C.

Briercrest is a lot better than they were in the past, but the Bisons still controlled play at most times. The Clippers were 13-9-2 last year and lost out to NAIT in a 3-game series where every game was decided by one goal. The announcers claimed that the shots were 48-42 in favour of the Bisons, but that seems a little “generous” on both accounts. I’m hoping to see some sort of summary before Saturday morning. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD MINOT STATE BEAVERS 5 REGINA COUGARS 3 Links: ➤ MSU: Schedule & Results ➤ UofR: Schedule & Results No stats on this one but this has to rank as a surprise loss for the Banjo-Mutts, especially after they split with the Banjo-Mutts last weekend.

The Bluegars also uploaded a story on their recruiting class. I’ll be looking into the rosters soon. The final goal was an ENG for the Apes. I know it’s only exhibition, but 2-3-0 is a whole lot better than 1-4-0 for the Primates. The Bluegars are now 1-1-0.

Hollywood Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 September 16, 2023: BISONS END TRIP WITH LOSS After falling asleep waiting for eastern scores, here's the Saturday report. MANITOBA BISONS 2 REGINA COUGARS 4 Links: ➤ UofM: Schedule & Results ➤ UofR: Schedule & Results ➤ UofR: YouTube The Banjo-Cats live-streamed the game on YouTube, but I only found out about it early in the 3rd period via a YouTube notice. USports teams need to announce these sorts of things in advance. The good thing about a YouTube stream is that I could watch the game afterwards. The players did not have names on their jerseys. So I just covered the Bison roster. Here’s how they lined up: Goal 34 Hawryluk - 35 Murphy Defence 16 Hartje - 24 Wareham 4 Malchuk - 25 Calder 5 ?????????? Forwards 18 Hooker - 9 Thiessen - 17 Veloso 11 Ostir - 19 Arpin - 20 Apetagon 14 Zimmerman - 28 Behun - 26 Boucher - 10 Paulhus 23 Fawkes - 12 Trimble - 13 Sutter Scratches G 1 Harkness - 30 Thornton D 6 Fry - 8 Toth - 27 Gottfried F 21 Basarab - 29 King The scoring was kinda like this (SOG and time of goals was not announced): 1st UofM - Behun - 1st shot of game before stream started UofR - McCabe - PP 2nd UofR - Culling - a long shot where Hawryluk whiffed on it UofR - Runke - PP UofM - Ostir - PP 3rd UofR - empty-netter - not sure if it counted because time expired Ethan Anders went the distance in the Regina goal. There is no #5 on the Bison roster and the announcers never said his name. Of the scratched players, it could be #27 Gottfried in a different jersey but I never got a good look at him. I infer that some injuries happened on the blueline, otherwise it makes no sense to dress just 5 d-men and 13 forwards. With 5 d-men they all played a lot. Malchuk and Hartje never paired up, and neither did Calder and Wareham. #5 played with everybody. I believe I saw Boucher back on the blueline a couple of times. In any event, IMO a team cannot play a season with just 7 d-men. Last year the injuries were up front, but playing a d-man up front is no problem in my view. Four goaltenders is also too many, obviously. I am hoping the new guy Thornton pans out. He looked solid against Briercrest. But that’s a far cry from the upper echelons of the CW. Overall, the Bisons had the majority of possession and territory. They had a lack of finish and the goaltending was okay, but for that one whiff. I suppose I’ll find out more next weekend when Lakehead and Regina come to town. The Bisons are 1-1-0, Regina is 2-2-0, and Lakehead has not yet played. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 3 MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 4 Links: ➤ MRU: Schedule & Results ➤ UofA: Schedule & Results Nothing but the score for this one. The Bluegars’ split makes them 2-1-0, and the Evil Monkeys fall to 2-4-0. CALGARY DINOSAURS 5 SASKATCHEWAN HUSKIES 2 Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ UofS: Boxscore ➤ UofC: Schedule & Results Quick Summary Calg: D. Melin (05:29 1st) , J. Gricius (11:42 1st) , J. Gricius (14:51 1st) , C. Gutenberg (19:16 1st) , J. Joseph (12:03 2nd) Sask: M. Gross (14:24 1st) , C. Petruic (00:18 2nd) Goal: Calg: Stankowski (44 shots, 42 saves), Sask: Ross (31 shots, 26 saves) Bedrock U is now 4-0-0, and Sask falls to 1-3-0. That big lead in shots would infer that Sask needs better goaltending, and that Stankowski would have been the 1st star. N.A.I.T. OOKS (ACHA) 1 MACEWAN GRIFFINS 8 Links: ➤ NAIT: Schedule & Results ➤ MacU: Schedule & Results Mac needed the win to avoid the embarassment of a sweep against their former ACAC rival. They clearly did so in fine fashion. I got the scores off Instagram and X. Mac’s got the best website this year, but they need to upload to LeagueStat. TRINITY WESTERN SPARTANS 1 U.B.C. THUNDERBIRDS 6 Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ TWU: Lowe Scores Lone Goal in Loss to UBC (report with boxscore) ➤ UBC: Schedule & Results Quick Summary TWU: C. Lowe (16:00 3rd) UBC: S. Huo (04:52 1st) , S. Huo (01:31 2nd) , S. Mutala (15:56 2nd) , S. Atkinson (02:45 3rd) , C. Miller (07:48 3rd) , J. Lee (15:12 3rd) Goal: TWU: Audet (36 shots, 30 saves), UBC: Schwebius (14 shots, 13 saves) After a close win on Friday night, the T-irds destroyed the Holy Trinity. That shot clock looks ominous. Kudos to the T-irds for uploading stats, and to TWU for uploading a game story. Now TWU needs to verify if they are playing the next two weekends on their schedule page.

The Lakehead Norwesters (as they were known in the GPAC days) won this event last year. They then had a pretty good season, losing the OUA bronze medal playoff for the final berth in the University Cup. They were 18-6-3, and first in the OUA West. They lost to Windsor two games to one in the division final, and 4-0 to Concordia in the winner-take-all bronze playoff. Lakehead does not at present have any non-conference games on their scheduled. Not even the upcoming Christmas tour by the Bisons. So these may be their only pre-season games before they open the regular season on October 6th. Regina has had mixed results thus far. Without uploaded stats and rosters for any of their games thus far, it is hard to draw conclusions. Or even inferences. But a split with Sask followed by a loss to Minot State is peculiar. Unless Sask’s crop of WHL grads is not all it’s cracked up to be, or the Beavers are better than ACHA teams have been. The Bisons still have four goaltenders (one too many), seven defencemen (two to few), and 15 forwards (a decent number). The Mystery Man wearing #5 last weekend on defence looks to have been Lucas Fry, who had been listed as #6. My impression of last weekend’s games was that the Bisons need some offensive finish to capitalize on their significant edge in territory and possession, and hopefully new recruit Kolby Thornton will be good enough to seize the starting goaltender slot. GoBisons.ca also uploaded a story on Devon Skoleski signing in the ECHL. This was on Elite Prospects a week ago. He becomes the third player from last year’s squad to sign a pro contract, following Zach Patrick and Brett Davis.

Hollywood Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) September 23, 2023: NORWESTERS BEAT BISONS LAKEHEAD THUNDERWOLVES 5 MANITOBA BISONS 3 Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ Game reports: LeagueStat : CW ➤ UofM: Schedule & Results ➤ LU: Lakehead kicks of preseason in Manitoba Quick Summary Lake: Massie (01:47 1st) , Mack (11:08 1st) , Mack (05:43 2nd) , Van Unen (10:14 3rd) , Pouliot (14:08 3rd) Man: H. Ostir (02:04 2nd) , J. Paulhus (12:38 2nd) , N. Basarab (06:18 3rd) Goal: Lake: Wright (35 shots, 32 saves); Man: Harkness (28 shots, 23 saves) This was a bit of a strange game where a lot of Bison talent was left in the stands. Nevertheless, it did answer some questions about this Bison squad. First, here’s how they lined up: Manitoba Goal 1 Harkness (30 Thornton) Defence 16 Hartje - 24 Wareham 25 Calder - 4 Malchuk 5 Casey - 9 Thiessen Forwards 11 Ostir - 19 Arpin - 20 Apetagon 10 Paulhus - 29 King - 26 Boucher 14 Zimmerman - 28 Behun - 21 Basarab 23 Fawkes - 12 Trimble - 13 Sutter Scratches G 34 Hawryluk - 35 Murphy D 6 Fry - 8 Toth - 27 Gottfried F 17 Veloso - 18 Hooker Lakehead Goal 31 Wright (30 Aiken) Defence 18 Jette - 3 Whittaker 23 Massie - 5 Turpin 2 Borbely - 28 McNeill - 8 Van Den Hurk Forwards 14 Van Unen - 27 Mack - 15 Ho 11 DeGrazia - 17 Gerrie - 21 Pouliot 16 Blackwell - 29 Edwards - 25 Massie 19 Stiles - 9 Smith - 24 Miles Scratches G 1 Cicigoi D 4 Wojciechowski - 22 Williams F 10 Badalamenti - 13 Fox The apparent Bison top line was dismantled for this game. Dylan Thiessen was moved to defence, and Colton Veloso and Jonny Hooker never suited up. Thiessen had an eventful night on the blueline. One must give him credit for going back there. Less than two minutes into the game, he had the puck on the RW side of his own goal and went to throw it around the boards. But oops. He picked the short side as Simon Harkness was en route to cover the LW post. Mid-way through the period he surrendered a break-away on a turnover and it was 2-0 for the Thundermutts. D’oh. Thiessen turned things around in the 2nd period when he made a silky-smooth PP pass to Hayden Ostir to make it a 2-1 game. The Bisons did manage to dominate the 2nd and 3rd periods, outshooting Lakehead 26-17 over that span. However, with the game tied 3-3 mid-way through the 3rd period, Harkness whiffed on a shot from Josh Van Unen to restore the Lakehead lead. Then LU added a PP goal for insurance. While one could not blame Harkness on the first two goals, this was the kind of comeback win that a good goaltender can achieve for his team. The Mutts did dress 21 players (seven defencemen). That helped when two players were assessed 10 minute misconducts on separate occasions. I also found out that the Mystery Man in #5 is defenceman Brandon Casey. He was paired with Thiessen and covered effectively for the most part. Blueline returnees Parker Malchuk and Chase Hartje were good at carrying the puck, but it seems that defence-first is this year’s motto. No end-to-end rushes from Hartje in this one. Newcomers Owen Wareham and Kian Calder looked okay to me. The Herd is now 1-2-0 and this was Lakehead’s first game.

Hollywood Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 September 23, 2023: NORWESTERS WIN ANOTHER LAKEHEAD THUNDERWOLVES 5 REGINA COUGARS 0 Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ LU: Lakehead downs Bisons to open Preseason (with boxscore) ➤ LU: Schedule & Results ➤ UofR: Schedule & Results Quick Summary Lake: Gerrie (12:19 1st) , Stiles (13:33 1st) , McNeill (07:11 2nd) , Gerrie (12:50 2nd) , Edwards (17:22 3rd) Reg: none Goal: Lake: Cicigoi (37 shots, 37 saves); Reg: Meger (26 shots, 21 saves) I was one of the select group of hockey fans to attend this game. It is fun to watch a game as a neutral observer every once in a while. The cliche for this one was “the score was no indication of the play”. Here’s how they lined up: Regina Goal 35 Meger (30 Evanoff) Defence 3 McCabe - 7 Sass 4 Reimer - 2 King-Cunningham 32 Third - 16 Schmidt Forwards 9 Shindle - 23 Pearce - 11 Runke 22 Asham-Moroz - 14 Culling - 12 Houk 29 Doucet - 27 Barlage - 8 Brook 28 Christian - 21 Borysiuk - 17 Barnstable Scratches G 31 Anders D 20 Holoien F 10 Davis - 18 Whyte - 19 Bjorklund Lakehead Goal 1 Cicigoi (30 Aiken) Defence 4 Wojciechowski - 8 Van Den Hurk 3 Whittaker - 22 Williams 28 McNeill - 5 Turpin 2 Borbely Forwards 11 DeGrazia - 17 Gerrie - 21 Pouliot 9 Smith - 24 Miles - 10 Badalamenti 16 Blackwell - 29 Edwards - 25 Massie 15 Ho - 14 Van Unen - 19 Stiles Scratches G 31 Wright D 18 Jette - 23 Massie F 13 Fox - 27 Mack Goaltending was the biggest difference in this game. Last year, Meger’s numbers were 1-7-0, 5.04 GAA, and .841 S%. He played about a third of Regina’s games. Adam Evanoff was their #1, and he was on the bench. For Lakehead, Cicigoi’s numbers were 10-5-0, 2.61 GAA, and .919 S%. Last night’s starter Max Wright was 8-3-0, 2.49 GAA, and .920 S%. Those numbers go a long way to explaining both games. The Nor’westers went 2-0-0 and are now finished their pre-season. Regina falls to 2-3-0.

The shots ended at 31-31, which was a fair indication of the play. A pair of quick goals early in the 2nd gave Regina the cushion they needed. The same thing happened in the 3rd, with goals at almost identical times. The Bisons finish the pre-season at 1-3-0 and Regina is even-Steven at 3-3-0. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD N.A.I.T. OOKS 2 U.B.C.

So that will have to wait. Neither the Bisons nor Banjo-Mutts tore up the league in the pre-season. However, Sask played Regina, Calgary, and Alberta and the Bisons played Briercrest, Regina, and Lakehead. None of Sask’s games were uploaded to LeagueStat. The last time these played was last November and both games were tightly contested with each side picking up a win. I am annoyed that the Bisons are having to play Friday afternoon due to a Bomber game at the stadium. Why not Saturday/Sunday? That’s what normally has happened.

I put down the lines post-injury. Since it is getting late on a weeknight (a rare time for a Bison game), I cannot go over all the scores. To start with there was may more contact in this game than the last weekend’s two exhibitions combined. However, a few Bison problems resurfaced: one, they can dominate territory for long stretches and not get shots on goal and two, the goaltending remains off-and-on. There was a stretch in the 2nd period where the Bisons appeared to have all four lines rolling, then came a soft backhand goal from the face-off circle. In any event, Thornton looks like the best bet in the nets. A lot hinges on him finding what it takes to be a starting CW goaltender. The rematch goes Friday at 2:30 p.m., which is sooooo stupid.

Hooker (16:06 2nd) Goal: Sask: Ross (23 shots, 21 saves); Man: Thornton (42 shots, 39 saves) I was watching on CanadaWest.tv from work so I was unable to make notes. There were a few line-up changes. The Bisons switched Casey for Calder on defence, and in goal Thornton started and Hawryluk was the backup. The Banjo-Mutts subbed in Faith and Hayes, and scratched Keeler and Tkachuk from the Thursday line-up. In their net, Ross started and Kooy backed-up. Thornton looked strong in goal. In four periods, he has 58 saves on 61 shots, a .951 S% and a 2.25 GAA. The powerplays were the key to the game. Tony Apetagon (being used on the point on the PP this year) opened scoring with a point shot. Captain Hooker scored the final goal during a 2nd period PP. In between, the Mutts scored thrice, including two just 26 seconds apart during a 4-minute PP of their own. The Bisons have a bye week next, but have a full slate of challenging non-conference games. The host the Manitoba Moose on Thursday, visit UND on Saturday, then visit the Moose on Monday afternoon.

Despite some key losses from last year’s roster, it seems the Bluegars still have a decent enough line-up. ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 1 U.B.C.

As such I could bear witness to the T-irds completely dominating the Evil Monkeys. The SOG were a bit deceptive in that regard.

Blake (00:28 1st OT) Goal: Reg: Evanoff (32 shots, 27 saves), MRU: Farkas (19 shots, 15 saves) I was able to catch a fair bit of this game. The Bluegars held a 4-2 lead entering the 3rd but allowed the Banjo-Cats to get back in the game, and tie it up with just a fraction of a second remaining. However, the Bluegars recovered and won it in less than 30 seconds of overtime. In a twist, Regina scored on both of their 3rd period shots to get the point, and MRU scored on their only shot of overtime. Those stats may not be accurate. They said Regina had 6 shots in overtime, and there just wasn’t the time. ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 2 U.B.C.

It was a 3-1 game late, then UBC got an empty-netter and the Evil Monkeys got a PP goal to improve the look of the scoreboard. So, is UBC that good? Or has Alberta taken a step back? The Monkeys were 4-4-0 in pre-season, against good teams, and UBC was 5-0-0, against Holy Trinity, BCIHL, and ACAC teams.

The UND team is, as usual, very highly ranked in the Excited States. The USCHO poll has them at 7th. There could be more preview stories about that game coming up. It does not look like the Bisons are uploading stats to LeagueStat for either game. FWIW, the Bisons are 2-4-0 against the Moose in past games. In recent years they had a scrimmage or two where no scores were reported. ELSEWHERE IN THE CW None of the CW teams have uploaded weekend previews, so I’ll do that later. Here’s the CW schedule.

Here are the links to their Elite Prospects pages: - Colt Conrad - Dawson Barteaux - Keaton Jameson - former Bison - Mark Liwiski - Stelio Mattheos The live links were not uploaded (at least to my notice) until after I got home from the game. The first star (by a LOT) was Bison goaltender Kolby Thornton. In the 1st period he faced 23 shots and surrendered just one goal. That one was by 1st round draft choice Chaz Lucius who was gifted a turnover in the left-wing face-off circle and picked a corner. In the 2nd period, Carson Golder made it 2-0 on a break-out from the Moose end up the entire length of the ice, and converted a pass from Danny Katic. Wyatt Bongiovanni made it 3-0 after a period of sustained pressure. The best goal of the night was converted by Colt Conrad on a pass from Thomas Caron, making it 4-0 in the 3rd. Nikita Chibrikov made it 5-0 on a powerplay. The Bisons replied on a powerplay of their own, with defenceman Parker Malchuk pinching in from the point. So, on to the Excited States to face the UND Flickertails/Fighting Sioux/Fighting Hawks on Saturday night. The re-match with the Moose goes Monday at 1:00 p.m. at the Iceplex.

I picked this one. It was a good choice. The rest were blow-outs, and this was a comeback OTW for the Bluegars. The good news for the Evil Monkeys is that they now have a point in the standings. The Bluegars are 3-0-0, with two OTWs in that total. The rematch is in Cowtown on Saturday.

Hollywood Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 October 7, 2023: SATURDAY MORNING LINKS These are the links I could not stay up late to share. Some interesting stuff this time. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD Links: ➤ UofA: Bears fall to 0-3 for first time in 94 years (with boxscore) I quote: The loss drops Alberta to 0-3-0, while MRU improves to 3-0-0. It marks the first time since the 1929/30 season the Bears have started conference play with three-straight losses. The Bears started 1929/30 0-4-0 on the season, with teams only playing two games against each other and the conference, at that time, was composed of just Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Links: ➤ TWU: SOMMER MAKES 39 SAVES IN LOSS TO DINOS (with boxscore) This game marked the CW debut of Holy Trinity's Austrian goaltender.

Hollywood Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) October 7, 2023: BISONS SKUNKED IN U.S.A. MANITOBA BISONS 0 NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING HAWKS 10 Links: ➤ Summaries: UND ➤ UofM: Team Website ➤ UND: NOTES: No. 7/8 North Dakota to open 2023-24 season with exhibition vs. Manitoba ➤ UND: No. 7/8 North Dakota rolls to 10-0 exhibition win over Manitoba (with boxscore) I was listening on-line to the radio broadcast. It was 2-0 when I left to pick up some Chinese Food, and 7-0 when I returned. It was 0-0 after the 1st, and 7-0 after the 2nd. The goaltending of Kolby Thornton held the game scoreless for 20 minutes. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 5 MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 2 Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ MRU: MHKY: Cougars lose 5 - 2 to Golden Bears ➤ UofA: Team Website Quick Summary Alta: A. Hall (16:50 1st), B. Gustafson (19:39 1st), J. Prokop (10:24 2nd), A. Hall (14:41 3rd), J. Kendall (17:53 3rd) MRU: C. Bouchard (19:24 1st), R. Holmes (17:25 3rd) Goal: Alta: Kruger (28 shots, 26 saves); MRU: Sims (20 shots, 15 saves) After eight series thus far in the CW, this is the first one to be split. The Evil Monkeys have to be happy enough to swing in the vines, eat bananas, and throw feces in all directions. Both sides switched goalies from Friday, and maybe that wasn’t a great choice for MRU. The Bluegars are now 3-1-0, and the Monkeys are 1-2-1. TRINITY WESTERN SPARTANS 3 CALGARY DINOSAURS 6 Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ TWU: SPARTANS DROP SECOND OF WEEKEND TO DINOS ➤ UofC: Dinos set U SPORTS record with 27th consecutive win (with boxscore) Quick Summary TWU: J. Klessens (03:28 1st), J. Jurgeneit (17:15 1st), M. Joss (16:17 3rd) Calg: C. Gengenbach (14:55 1st), J. Poole (05:50 2nd), B. Lee (06:01 2nd), M. Stewart (08:02 3rd), C. Gengenbach (16:53 3rd), C. Gengenbach (19:54 3rd) Goal: TWU: Berkeliev (53 shots, 48 saves); Calg: Stankowski (18 shots, 15 saves) The scoreboard in this series was not nearly as bad as it might have been. Bedrock U dominated the shot clock, but it still took an empty-netter to quash the hopes of Holy Trinity. The Dinos are in the 1st place log-jam at 4-0-0, and TWU falls to 0-2-0. MACEWAN GRIFFINS 1 SASKATCHEWAN HUSKIES 2 (in a shootout) Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ MacU: A spectacular save and two posts prevent Griffins from first win in 2-1 shootout loss to Huskies (with boxscore and video) ➤ UofS: MHKY: Huskies Win Shootout Thriller Against MacEwan (with boxscore) Quick Summary MacU: E. Strang (03:45 2nd) Sask: J. Ball (01:30 2nd) Goal: MacU: Davis (33 shots, 32 saves); Sask: Ross (24 shots, 23 saves) Both sides switched goaltenders from Friday, and both played well. The shootout did not produce a goal until the Banjo-Mutts scored on the 10th attempt. The Mutts controlled more play than the Family Guys, but this was a big improvement for them from Friday night. The Mutts are now in the 1st place triumvirate at 4-0-0, and MacEwan falls to 0-3-1. U.B.C. THUNDERBIRDS 5 REGINA COUGARS 4 (in a shootout) Links: ➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW ➤ UofR: Team Website ➤ UBC: Team Website Quick Summary UBC: L. Kindree (18:36 1st), C. Douglas (16:44 2nd), S.

Schmidt (08:00 2nd) Goal: UBC: Schwebius (19 shots, 15 saves); Reg: Meger (57 shots, 53 saves) No game stories are posted yet, but this one had quite an ending. The Banjo-Cats built a 4-1 lead, despite being out-shot. A late 2nd period goal gave the T-irds an opportunity for a comeback. They out-shot the Banjo-Cats 19-2 in the 3rd period, and tied it up. At least the Kittens got a bonus point, giving them a 0-2-2 record. The T-irds are in that 1st place bundle, at 4-0-0.

Although the score was the same, the play was much different. The Bisons were a lot more aggressive, both physically and by increased offensive focus. The failed 3rd period powerplay was your TSN Turning Point. Had the Bisons scored to make it a 3-2 game, they were right in it. Their aggressiveness with the puck hurt them as a blue-line turnover gave the Moose a 2-on-1 break where Nicholas Jones notched his 2nd of the game. From that point onward, the Bisons never raised much of a fuss. By the way, UND will not host the Bisons next year. They will play Augustana, a new Division I team from South Dakota, due to changes in NCAA rules which allow a pre-season exhibition game against Division I, II, or III or ACHA teams. I think the team was embarrassed this year. I overheard one player saying words to the effect of “We didn’t play. We just looked at the crowd.” The linked stories say who cleared waivers to go from the Jets to the Moose, and those sent from the Moose to the ECHL. Those sent down from the Jets were forward Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, defenceman Kyle Capobianco, and goaltender Collin Delia. None were eligible to play against the Bisons. Those sent to the ECHL were forwards Danny Katic, Keaton Jameson, and Ryan Foss, defenceman Darick Louis-Jean, and goaltender Dante Giannuzzi. As a bonus for many of the several little kids in attendance, the Jets practice ended during the warm-up. I saw the newly re-signed Mark Scheifele and another player I did not recognize signing autographs as they walked across to the dressing room. Also, former Moose Cory Schneider retired today at the age of 37. OUT EAST Mon Oct 9 Guelph 4 R.I.T.

In Manitoba, UBC won 8-7 and 6-4 and in British California they won 6-4 and 5-2. The T-irds looked really good against the Evil Monkeys, and decent against Regina. The Bisons seem to start slow every weekend, and then build. They improved as play went along last weekend, when they faced superior opponents from the AHL and NCAA. On Monday afternoon the Herd had two very good periods against the Moose. It comes down to Kolby Thornton in goal. If he’s on, they have a good shot. If not, well ... with 7 goals scored per game last year, they still would have gone 1-3. I’ll be watch to see if Ryan Gottfried is able to play on the Bison blueline. IMO he’s their best defender and his absence at the end of their 3-2 loss to Sask and last weekend hurt them. In CW news, UBC’s Liam Kindree was player-of-the-week last week, with 2 goals, 4 assists, and a shootout goal. Also, the CW is altering formats in most sports. For Men's and Women's Hockey, here’s what they said: • Two divisions consisting of four and five teams each that will rotate through nine teams over six years • Games will be played both in and out of division • Playoff format will feature a six-team cross over I have no clue what that means. ELSEWHERE IN THE CW ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS (1-3-0, 5-7-0, OHT35 #19*) MACEWAN GRIFFINS (0-3-1, 2-6-1, OHT35 #30*) Links: ➤ MacU: Three Stars: Davis, Harper, Paterson earn honours ➤ MacU: Off-ice work ethic paying off for Davis, who leads Griffins with a .943 save percentage so far ➤ UofA: Team Website In Saudi Alberta this weekend, we have a pair of cross-town home-and-home series. In this Battle of Edmontown, the Family Guys host Friday and the Evil Monkeys host Saturday. I do not recall the Apes looking so sub-standard to start a season. A 4-4 pre-season and a 1-3 regular season is not awe-inspiring. That said, they did not pad their schedule with weaker opponents. Of course, these teams faced off in pre-season. Otherwise the Monkeys faced their four toughest conference opponents. Both games go at 7:00 MDT/8:00 CDT. REGINA COUGARS (0-2-2, 3-5-2, OHT35 #18*) TRINITY WESTERN SPARTANS (0-2-0, 4-4-0, OHT35 #29*) Links: ➤ UofR: Team Website ➤ TWU: THIS WEEK IN SPARTA The Banjo-Cats have managed to pick up “loser points” in both weekends thus far. Holy Trinity’s four pre-season wins were over BCIHL teams, so let’s not get too excited. Until they show otherwise, their opponents will be thinking “we need these four points” every weekend. Both games in this series are evening games.

I saw the last half of the game and the Bluegars played a sound defensive game. The Bluegars took a 2-0 lead about 8 minutes into the 3rd period, after which they made no pretense of shooting for a hat-trick. After leading on the shot clock all night, it ended up 28-28 when the Dinos outshot them 13-4 in the 3rd. So rest those record books. Any winning streak record will not be set until 2024-25.
