Ferguson’s return sparks a Blaze
Dylan Ferguson spent 18 days with the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights, where he backed up Maxime Legace for eight games. Ferguson would see 9:14 seconds of action on Tuesday in relief in a 8-2 loss in Edmonton against the Oilers. He would make one save on two shots, allowing a […]

Brandon 2 Kootenay 0 Logan Thompson and the Brandon Wheat Kings (10-6-0-1) had some excuses for dropping a 4-2 game to the Kootenay ICE (8-9-1-0) on Friday night. They were missing four defenseman and saw many penalties put their d-men present away in the penalty box. Instead of letting this […]

Blades fall flat in return home
By Les Lazaruk Unacceptable! Dean Brockman agreed with that adjective used to describe the effort of the Saskatoon Blades in Wednesday’s 6-3, home-ice loss to the Vancouver Giants. “Very much so,” confirmed the Bridge City Bunch head coach when asked about the use of ‘unacceptable.’ “I didn’t like (the […]
