Daily Dose of the Dub: Lee leads Thunderbirds; Haden off the Tigers roster

Three stars of the night:

  1. Jake Lee – The Seattle Thunderbirds defenseman had four assists as the Seattle Thunderbirds sent the Edmonton Oil Kings packing 7-3.
  2. Kaid Oliver – The center for the Victoria Royals kept up his hot start as he had two goals and an assist for three points in his team’s 3-2 overtime win over the Vancouver Giants. One of his goals was the overtime winner.
  3. Riley Sutter – His Everett Silvertips rolled by the Kamloops Blazers 7-2 thanks in part to his two goals and one assist.

Honorable mentions:

Alec Zawatsky had a goal in regulation and one in the shootout as the Swift Current Broncos edged the Brandon Wheat Kings – it was their first win of the 2018-19 season… 16-year-old defenseman Daemon Hunt had two goals and an assist for three points in the Moose Jaw Warriors’ 4-3 victory over the Spokane Chiefs… Brett Leason had a goal and an assist for two points as the Prince Albert Raiders beat the Red Deer Rebels 2-1… Josh Curtis had two goals and an assist as the Prince George Cougars edged the Lethbridge Hurricanes 6-5 in the shootout… Tyler Presiuzo had three assists as the Medicine Hat Tigers took down the Kootenay ICE 4-3 in the shootout… Isaac Johnson had two goals and an assist for three points as the Tri-City Americans got revenge on the Kelowna Rockets 5-4.

Troubling moments

 

Haden no longer with the Tigers

-In a surprising move, the Medicine hat Tigers have taken Gary Haden off their roster. The 19-year-old Haden played in all but two games last year for Medicine Hat and had 42 points. He had three points in nine games this year before being scratched against Prince George on Friday.
