F Joel Broda of the Moose Jaw Warriors is the WHL’s Boston Pizza player of the week. Broda, 18, had been in camp with the NHL’s Washington Capitals. He rejoined the Warriors and had five goals and an assist as the Warriors went 3-0 last week. . . . Kent Simpson of the Everett Silvertips is the WHL nominee as ADT CHL goaltender of the week. He beat the Portland Winter Hawks 2-0 in his first WHL start last week.

D Nick Ross of the Kamloops Blazers has been suspended for two games after incurring an interference major and a game misconduct in a 5-4 loss to the Rockets in Kelowna on Saturday. Ross threw a hip-check on Kelowna D Kyle Verdino in the second period. Verdino came out of it with a knee injury. . . . Ross won’t play Tuesday against the visiting Spokane Chiefs or Friday in Edmonton against the Oil Kings.

The Seattle Thunderbirds have claimed F Chris Cloud, 20, off waivers from the Vancouver Giants. And guess who the Thunderbirds play on Friday? Yes, they are to visit Vancouver. Steve Ewen of the Vancouver Province reports that “the Giants did get trade offers for Cloud, reportedly from the Chilliwack Bruins and Saskatoon Blades, but nothing could be worked out.” The Giants will go with LW Casey Pierro-Zabotel and two defencemen – Mike Berube and Craig Schira – as their three 20-year olds. . . . The Thunderbirds appear to have dropped F Ashton Hewson, whose name no longer appears on their roster on the WHL website, while hanging on to LW Devon Leblanc and C Jared Jagow as their other 20-year-olds. . . . WHL teams have until Oct. 16 to get down to three 20-year-old players.

The Spokane Chiefs have assigned G Alex Wright, 18, to the BCHL’s Prince George Spruce Kings. The Chiefs had acquired his rights from the Prince George Cougars on Aug. 28, for an undisclosed conditional bantam draft pick. . . . The move leaves the Chiefs with veteran Dustin Tokarski, 19, and James Reid, who turns 18 on Dec. 15.
---
F Matt Fraser of the Kootenay Ice suffered a separated shoulder in Friday’s 3-1 victory over the visiting Calgary Hitmen. He will miss a couple of weeks.
---
D Travis Ehrhardt of the Portland Winter Hawks has had his suspension set at two games. He was suspended for a hit on RW Matt Ius of the Everett Silvertips on Friday night.
---
Let’s say good night with a look at Seattle Thunderbirds head coach Rob Sumner in action on Friday night, just in case you wondered why the WHL Department of Justice relieved him of $500 on Saturday. Check it out right here.
