The Portland Winterhawks have to think they deserved a better fate after controlling much of play on Friday night at Veterans Memorial Coliseum. David Tendeck stole the show though and got the Vancouver Giants their second win over the Winterhawks in four days, with a stellar 37-save performance. Tendeck earned […]

Medicine Hat 5 @Prince Albert 4 (SO) The Medicine Hat Tigers (17-10-1-0) and the Prince Albert Raiders (11-11-5-2) both have an overage sniper leading them offensively this year. Mark Rassell of the Tigers and Jordy Stallard were both at it again on Wednesday night. They both had two goals, but […]

Seattle clips Saskatoon 4-1

Two such rookies have done just that recently. 2000-born left wings Tyler Carpendale and Dillon Hamaliuk each scored for Seattle as they took […]

WHL recap: Onyebuchi, Steenbergen, Quenneville and Bruggen-Cate launch bears
Moose Jaw 3 @Swift Current 2 It figures that after a night of up-and-down hockey reminiscent of the late 1980’s in the WHL, we would see the same two teams be locked in a tight, much lower scoring affair. A night after the Swift Current Broncos (19-6-2-0) Tyler Steenbergen provided […]
Loewen with the dagger again as Kamloops edges Seattle 2-1
The Seattle Thunderbirds have to hate seeing number 32 from the Kamloops Blazers skate with speed and the puck late in the third period in a tie game. Jermaine Loewen scored with 8:03 left to break a one-all tie. A week ago, up in Kamloops, Loewen scored the game-winner against […]
