Former Melville Millionaire Jim Hiller was relieved of his duties as Head Coach of the Western Hockey League's Chilliwack Bruins.

Springside's Brett Breitkreuz (left) and the Edmonton Oil Kings travel to Prince Albert tonight (TUE) to face Yorkton product Justin Bernhardt and the Raiders in a one-game playoff to decide the final playoff position in WHL's Eastern Conference. The two teams were tied with 77 points. Prince Albert had 31 wins, two more than the Oil Kings, which gives them home ice for the tie-breaker. The winner plays the highly-touted Calgary Hitmen in Round 1 of the playoffs starting this weekend. Bernhardt finished the season 5th in WHL scoring, playing in all 72 games, scoring 35-goals, 57-assists for 92-points.
