We've got Mueller, Calla, Fiala and Irving all out of the lineup heading to the prospects game. our starting 16-year-old 'tender tonite has all of 274 minutes under his belt in nine games. His backup is '89 born Chris Ward suiting up for his 1st Whl game ever, although he was named Top Goaltender in the Winnegoba AAA Midget City All-star Game...lol.
'90 born winger MAtt Ius will be suiting up in his 2nd WHL game (debut 12/09/05 at Vancouver ). He was the Silvertips 2nd round selection (30th overall) in the 2005 WHL Bantam Draft.
