Monday's musings . . .
Be sure to enjoy NHL trade deadline day. Rest assured that more hot air will blow out of the Toronto sports networks on Tuesday than on any other day of the year. . . .
D Riley LaForge, the son of Edmonton Oil Kings governor Patrick LaForge, has made a commitment to Brown University in Providence, R.I. LaForge, 18, is expected to join Brown in the fall and play for the Bears. The Medicine Hat Tigers selected LaForge with the 59th pick of the 2004 bantam draft but dropped him from their list in 2006. He presently is with the AJHL’s Fort McMurray Oil Barons. . . .
The Moose Jaw Warriors, who snapped a six-game losing skein with a 4-2 victory over the visiting Kamloops Blazers on Saturday, are preparing to welcome back team captain Riley Holzapfel. He has missed five games with an abdominal strain but is expected to play Tuesday against the visiting Chilliwack Bruins. . . .
D Theran Yeo (ankle) has missed 12 games but was on the ice Monday with the Brandon Wheat Kings. He didn’t take part in any contact, however. . . . Brandon LW Daniel Bartek (leg) didn’t practise Monday but should play Wednesday against the visiting Chilliwack Bruins. . . .
