No reason Jordy shouldn’t sign with the change of staff that doesn’t stifle offence. I also would add E. King to that list.Quote:

depending on how our new pickup pan out, if Jordy does sign all it would take is adding a good 20 forward next year and this team could be a middle of the pack sort of thing,i don't see any reason to mess with the blueline next year..allan from smallthoughtatlarge says Wesley has scored everywhere he has played so who knows...even the euro draft if smart bring back paval and do what the hat did bring in a older euro that can help now....Quote:

No one else had more than 4. Another way to look at is he scored twice as many goals as everyone else in the tournament, except those 2 other players. Bellerive finished tied for 5th overall in scoring with Tak Anholt of all people.Quote:

To make it even sweeter, the Lethbridge Hurricane AAA Midgets won the tournament in a fairly big upset. Pretty awesome for those kids.

Congratulations to the AAA Lethbridge Midgets. Could things really be turning around in this city? It's been some pretty lean years at all levels of hockey. University, Major Junior, Midgets, and Bantams.
Yah they beat POE, OHA and Yale, all big money Hockey Academy schools, and the Saskatoon Contacts. They also played with a really short bench as they had 5 scratches due to injury in the semi final and final. Anholt was a non factor in the final (he did score in the shoot out though) not bad for having only one WHL listed player on the whole team.Quote:

Were considered to be a non-factor my most at the tourney going in, but proved to be a tough opponent. Congrats to them. They also had a decent showing at the Mac's earlier, with a 2-2 record, 1 loss to the eventual tournament winner in PG. A real under-rated, fun team to watch, if you haven't yet, take one of their games.
I'm pretty sure Miller is the only kid on the midgets on a WHL protected list. You gotta think teams have to be looking at Newman as well, they could very well be the top pairing in Alberta and shut down some pretty high end scorers in Kelowna.Quote:

Weersink also backed up the Canes when Skinner was at U-17. After Mac's a few of them were listed by MJHL and SJHL teams as well. Kostalanski (sp) was drafted a couple years back, but I don;t think he is listed with anyone currently. That will should change based on how things play out for the rest of their season. Would be nice to see some of these hard working kids play their way onto a team somewhere.Quote:

Any news on the board meeting that is supposed to happen early this year????
I was at the game between the Canes and Rebels and although I'm a Rebels fan , I have to say that Lethbridge played a great game. It was a hard fought battle and there seems to be energy and enthusiasm on the bench. As a jr hockey fan , that is good to see , especially after the tough time this team has been through. Anholt is the right guy at the right time to turn things around for this club and if this continues there is no reason for prospects not to sign.
