Everett Silvertips Press Release




Everett, WA - The fans will be cheering and the cow bells will be ringing as the Everett Silvertips host the Prince George Cougars in the 2005 home opener at the always loud Everett Events Center on Saturday night at 7:05 p.m. The Silvertips will also battle the defending WHL Champions, Kelowna Rockets on Sunday night at 5:05 p.m. to cap off the home opening weekend at the Everett Events Center.

EVERETT SILVERTIPS LEADING SCORERS

CAPTAIN WHEAT
Everett Silvertips forward was named the 3rd team captain in franchise history before Saturday's game against the Kamloops Blazers. Wheat is entering into his 3rd full season with the Silvertips and holds franchise records for the most goals (33), assists (45) and points (78) in a career with the Silvertips. The Everett Silvertips also named Shaun Heshka, Mark Kress and Cody Thoring assistant captains for the 2005-2006 season.

THANK YOU RYAN
With the Silvertips coming into the 2005-2006 season with six twenty year olds, the Silvertips had to make some tough decisions. Unfortunately Ryan Blatchford was one of the casualties of the twenty year old rule. The Kelvington, SK native played in 138 regular season games in two seasons with the Silvertips and collected 23 points. Blatchford played in all 72 games last season and was one of the recipients of the Everett Silvertips Iron Man Award. The Silvertips would like to thank Ryan for his contribution and commitment to the Silvertips organization and wish him the best in the future.

SILVERTIPS SPECIALTY TEAMS
The Silvertips are heading into this weekend 1st in the WHL on the power play (3 for 3, 100%) and 18th on the penalty kill (4 for 6, 66.7%).
