- Pre-Sale tickets as of yesterday were more than double what they were for the Weyburn series, as the Yorkton Terriers expect a full house tonight for Game 3 of the SJHL Sherwood Conference Final against Kindersley. The series is tied 1-1, after a 4-3 (OT) loss and a 7-4 win in Eston for the Terriers over the weekend. 7:30 starts tonight and tomorrow, with Pre Game Shows on GX94 starting at 7:15.- Make some noise tonight! I was cleaning out an old bag/computer case that must have belonged to Terry Struthers, and remembered seeing a small bag with something orange and plastic in it. So, finally after close to three years, I opened it up, to find a pair of Terrier THUNDER STICKS! They've got Fox FM logos on them, as well as other sponsors, probably from their championship years. Just opened them yesterday. I think it'd be a tad unprofessional for me to use them. Any takers? Leave me a comment or I'll try to give them away at the rink tonight. Might put Donna Moore in charge of that, or just give them to my buddy Norm!
- MJHL Final starts Saturday in Winnipeg. Yes, in Winnipeg, and the Saints had 22 fewer points than the Dauphin Kings in the regular season, but the league flip-flops home ice advantage between the two divisions every year. Not sure I agree with the format, and the Kings gotta be a little choked after the season they've had, NOT TO have home ice in the final. I KIND OF agree, since Addison opponents play eachother 9 times, while Sherwood teams only see those same
Addison opponents 4 times each, so really teams in either division have quite different schedules than the other. BUT, wouldn't it add to cross-divisional regular season games if home ice in the final was on the line. Infact Dauphin will have to win two series as the road team to go to the RBC through the front door, with the SJHL having home ice in this year's Anavet Cup. That also rotates every year, and THAT, I agree with 100%, with the two leagues playing two totally different schedules, infact the SJHL plays four fewer games, so to go by points would be ludicrious.- I've asked around, IF it were to be a Yorkton/Dauphin Anavet Cup, if they'd still do the 2-3-2 format, and it sounds like they still would, despite the two cities being less than two hours apart. So games 1 and 2 will be in Saskatchewan, 3, 4, and 5 in Manitoba, and 6 and 7 in Saskatchewan.
- 16-year-old Swan Valley Stampeder Defenseman Evan Morden will join the WHL's Everett Silvertips this week for the rest of their playoff run. Morden doesn't expect to suit up in these playoffs, with the 'Tips already two games into the post season (up 2-0 on Kelowna), but looks forward to taking in the experince. I spoke to Evan yesterday about getting the call.

- The NCAA Conference tournaments were held last weekend, and in the ECAC final, former Terrier Greg Coburn and the Union Dutchmen were up against former Wayway Wolverine Sean Collins and the Cornell Big Red in the final. Collins got the last laugh, with Cornell winning 3-0, advancing to the North East Regional tournament THIS weekend. That's one step short of the Frozen Four. Collins had some more details on Facebook.
Yes that's correct we beat Union 3-0 in the final. We play friday night against New Hampshire and if we win that game we will probably play Denver. The winner of that game would go to the Frozen Four.
In the CCHA tournament, ex-Terriers Michael Trebish and Justin Menke fell short of the West Regional Tournament with the Ferris State Bulldogs.
The Bemidji State Beavers have a chance to go back to the Frozen Four for a 2nd straight year. They're ranked #2 in the upcoming Midwest Regionals. One of the Beavers' top forwards this year was Swan Valley Stampeders all-time scoring leader Ian Lowe. Lowe led his team with 20g, and was 4th with 30p in 36 games this season. He piled up 308 points for Swan Valley in 4 seasons.Lowe (pictured) was named a CCHA 2nd team All-Star this season.
Former Melville Millionaire goalie Travis Bosch is also at Bemidji, but didn't see action this year with the Beavers.

Hey steiner... Why wouldn't bosch see any action this year? I find that a little weird.
i believe there was an issue with classes at the start of the year. something didn't transfer over, or something along those lines.
Could possibly have red-shirted which means he wouldn't have lost a year of eligibility... i'll try to find out for sure.
