Hollywood Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 CIS BOOKMARKS The Bisons and the entire Canada West have been slow on spring news so far.

Hollywood Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Although the Stanley Cup playoffs are still going strong, it is summertime in the world of CIS hockey. There has been a steady stream of commitments announced out east, but next to nothing in the CW. In fact, nothing official from anybody so far.In the upcoming weeks we will hear of new recruits. My usual caveats are: You also have to verify who is eligible to return but has nevertheless left school. And sometimes a graduated player decides to re-enrol and play another year. So before we know which teams are better than last year, and which are worse than last year, we need all information before us.Nevertheless, in the CW we have to assume that the dominating defending national champions from Saudi Alberta will be tough to beat. They should lose many players. However they will no doubt scoop up a collection of WHL grads to replace departing players.The usual main challengers are Manitoba, Calgary, and Saskatchewan. All three will need to recruit well to challenge Alberta.Developing programs in MRU and UBC will have to show that they can sustain what they did in 2014-15. Regina has been treading water for several seasons now. Lethbridge has a long way to go before they could enter the Christmas break within striking distance of a playoff berth.In any event, through the MJHL website I caught word that two more Winnipeg Blues would be joining the Herd.Liam Bilton - F - Winnipeg (MJHL)- Rarely do you see a recruit who once played high school hockey. Bilton played for St. Paul's and had a brief playoff stint with the Twins in the MMJHL after high school season was over in his grad year. He then went on to play 3 seasons for the Blues. He has steadily improved, to the point of being a point-per-game player. At 6'4" and 198 lbs., he would seem to be a lanky kid who needs to fill out a bit.Links:[MJHL Story][Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][Winnipeg Blues Profile]Brett Brooks - LW/C - Winnipeg (MJHL), Moose Jaw (WHL)- Brooks was the captain of the Blues in 2014-15, which should make him fit in with the host of current Bisons who wore letters in junior hockey. At 6' and 192 lbs. he is a mid-size player. He went from midget to the WHL and then returned home while still midget-eligible in 2012-13. He only scored 4 goals for the Blues that year, but has steadily improved to 23-39-62 in 58 games in 2014-15.Links:[MJHL Story][Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][Moose Jaw Warriors Profile]Other Bison NewsGraduate Taylor Dickin has signed to play for the Edinburgh Capitals in the EIHL. Earlier, Darren Bestland signed for the Wichita Thunder of the ECHL, where Ian Duval signed on mid-season.Links: [Edinburgh Press Release] : [Wichita Press Release]While no league schedule is expected any time soon, UND has announced that they will host the Bisons on Saturday, October 3rd.Link: [UND Schedule]I wonder if the Bisons v Moose series will continue.

If they can survive that they'll be set. If not, they could be behind the 8-ball early.The schedule has not been updated at GoBisons.ca. I hope they get some home exhibitions this year, preferably against somebody from outside the CW just to add some variety. The Saturday games are all afternoons. I generally don't like that. However, my son plays a lot of Saturday nights so I guess this may all work out.Links:[UND Schedule][CW Schedule][CW Story - by Evan DaumThere is a smattering of news about NCAA exhibition games.

He is a defensive defenceman and was team captain for his last 2 of 4 seasons in Tri-City. He had 3 regular season goals and 2 playoff goals in those 4 seasons. At 6'4" and 209 lbs. He should be the latest in a long line of proficient Manitoba defencemen. He also went to the Alaska Aces after the end of the season on an ATO.Links:[Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][Tr-City Profile] : [WHL Profile] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 June 17: The Rumour MillThe Bisons have one new recruit confrmed with a link and 4 more rumoured recruits, as noted by some of Hollywood's faithful followers.Jonah Wasylak - LW - Steinbach (MJHL)- At 6'3" and 210 lbs Wasylak will add some typical Manitoba size to the wing. He also chipped in 15 goals in 60 games at the MJHL level. He can also throw 'em. Check out the You Tube video. Pistons' fans liked this guy. His commitment was announced at the MJHL site.Links:[Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][MJHL Press Release] : [Steibach Online][You Tube fight video]The rumoured recruits include 3 with WHL experience and one transfer from the NCAA.Adam Henry - D - Lethbridge/Seattle/Saskatoon/Portland (WHL)- He would be yet another Winnipeg boy coming home to play defence. Henry has an offensive up-side. He had 11 goals in 67 games, plus 5 more in 17 playoff games. He also once wore an "A" in Seattle before being dealt to Saskatoon.Links:[Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][WHL Profile] : [Shnarped Profile]Brett Stovin - RW - Saskatoon (WHL)/Missouri (ECHL)- The Bison shopping list was headed by the recruitment of a forward who could score. Stovin had 29 goals in the Dub last year and then 5 more in 8 games in an end-of-season stint in the ECHL. While in Saskatoon he took a few courses at the U of S, where he no doubt was happy to escape.Links:[Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][WHL Profile] : [Interlake Today][You Tube fight video]Jordyn Boyd - LW - Everett/Kootenay (WHL)/Saints/Portage (MJHL)- Boyd is the younger brother of former NHLer Dustin Boyd. He returned home from the Dub to win a national title with the Portage Terriers. He had 30 goals in 50 games in the MJ, and another 6 goals in 12 playoff games. Dustin was born in Winnipeg but Jordyn suffered the humiliation of being born in Regina. The family then had the good sense to return to Manitoba for Jordyn's minor hockey. Phew.Links:[Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][WHL Profile] : [Terrier Profile][You Tube fight video]Hudson Friesen - LW - Alaska-Anchorage (NCAA)/Selkirk (MJHL)- This Selkirk Steeler grad is coming back after 2 seasons way up north in Alaska. The new CIS rules mean he does not have to red-shirt for a season. In his last 2 seasons at Selkirk he scored 61 goals in 116 games. At the UAA he never had much ice time, which could be his reason for leaving.Links:[Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia][UAA Profile] : [Manitoba Hockey News]BISON ROSTEROne always has to remember that not everybody who is eligible to return will do so, for a variety of reasons. I would expect a 3rd goaltender to be recruited and there is usually also a late addition.

In fact, only UBC, Regina, and Calgary issued stories in their spin on the schedule release. Alberta's only story is on Derek Ryan signing with the Carolina Hurricanes. Maybe it is almost time for my pre-season rant about teams publicizing themselves.Links:[UBC Story][Regina Story][Calgary Story][Alberta Story]- The BCIHL has a commitments page.

Hollywood Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 UBC has now added their exhibition games to their schedule. Manitoba and Calgary have regular season games only. Mount Royal still has the 2014-15 schedule. Alberta has no schedule link. Saskatchewan's site is under development and remains just a splash page with a football schedule and off-site links.UBC will face just one team from the CIS, namely the two-time defending champion Alberta Evil Monkeys. However they will meet them 3 times. Additionally, they will face the Simon Fraser Clown (of the BCIHL) and the NAIT Ooks (of the ACAC) to open and close their pre-season.

Hollywood Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 The 1965 Bisons won the University Cup and held their 50th anniversary get-together on July 10-11. The picture comes from The Free Press. It was also announced that they are getting into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame.Link:[Free Press Story]The official team site has yet to report the foregoing, or confirm any recruits. However, the Winkler Flyers have announced that goaltender Dasan Sydora has committed. Here's his blurb:Dasan Sydora - G - Winkler (MJHL) / LaRonge (SJHL)- The Bisons have two goaltenders eligible to return (Byron Spriggs and Deven Dubyk) and always need a 3rd. He should be able to challenge for playing time but like all MJHL recruits needs to face the prospect of a year spent mostly in the stands. He does have soime good numbers and won a scholarship. He is originally from Alberta.Links:Stats: [Elite Prospects] : [IHDB] : [Wikia]Commitment stories: [Winkler Flyers] : [PVO]Scholarship stories: [MJHL] : [Pembina Today]YouTube: [LaRonge] : [ ] : [2014-15] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 This is the year of the non-updates in Bison hockey. The last story posted at GoBisons.ca was the one about the Allan Cup. The exhibition schedule has yet to be added. From other sites, this is what I have compiled:Sep 18 Manitoba v Regina (at Ochapowace)Sep 19 Calgary v Manitoba (at Regina)Sep 25 Manitoba at Lakehead (OUA)Sep 26 Manitoba at Lakehead (OUA)Oct 03 Manitoba at North Dakota (NCAA)Oct 04 Manitoba at Bemidji State (NCAA)I would think the team will have games on Sept 11-12 as well, and hopefully home games. If so the opponent would have to be Saskatchewan, MRU, or a team outside of the CW since everybody else is spoken for.None of the recruits reported from other sources have been confirmed at GoBisons.ca. The roster page lists 2014-15 and that often does not change until exhibition play begins.In other news:- CanadaWest.TV will cover more games this year. However the games will not be free. One coukd subscribe for everything or for just one sport.- After coaches from Alberta and UBC took off, new hires became necessary. Alberta signed Serge Lajoie from NAIT and UBC signed Adam Shell from RMC.- UfO has signed Patrick Grandmaitre to coach when the team returns in 2016-17. He comes over from the RSEQ CEGEP league.

PEITING 0 Links::. [ECP Game Story]:. [Carleton Schedule/Results] : [Carleton Tour Preview]The Peiting team plays in the Oberliga, which is Germany's 3rd tier league. That league is divided into regional divisions and is semi-pro. They placed 6th of 12 in their division last year.

They sometimes add the players who are trying out for the team. I would expect a minimum line-up of 3 goaltenders, 8 defencemen, and 14 forwards.With 14 returning vets already listed, and 8 recruits confirmed, that would leave at least 3 spots open. If those are being filled by returnees then the line-up looks pretty good. If Hamonic returns from pro then the defence would be amongst the best in the whole CIS.Link::. [Recruiting Announcement]:.

Hollywood Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Roster UpdatesAs the day has worn on, the Bison [Roster Page] has kept getting updated. It started the day with 14 vets listed. As I checked in from time to time some of the 8 recruits announced yesterday were added one at a time, albeit without the background columns completed.Anyhow, three new names popped up.Sean Christensen - D - Saint Boniface (MMJHL)- There are usually MMJHLers trying out, so no big surprise there. The now departed Jory Coates was one who made it, and there have been 3rd string goaltenders to play a season. I would be surprised if there not a handful of such players at camp as walk-ons.Links:[Elite Prospects][MMJHL Player Profile]Christian Stockl - RW - Red Deer (WHL)/Virden (MJHL)- Stockl is a former Red Deer Rebel who did not play last year. He was a highly rated Midget AAA player who scored 36 goals in 38 games then went straight to the Dub. If he could find that scoring touch again he would be the kind of player the team needs.Links:[Elite Prospects][Hockey DB]Zach Waldvogel - C - Portage (MJHL)- The other names were "out of the blue" but this one was beyond that. Waldvogel was a key part of the Portage Terriers RBC championship team. He was previously announced as a Guelph recruit. Yet here he is, just a short drive away from home. He is 6'2" and 201 lbs. He had scoring touch in Junior A but would likely be a 3rd line shut-down centre in the CW.Links:[Elite Prospects][Hockey DB]- In CIS news, bids were received for nationals in 2017 and 2018 for basketball, rugby, and hockey. The men's hockey bids came from New Brunswick and Toronto.
