June 20: Five Recruits
We anxiously await the CW hockey schedules, since other conferences and other sports within the CW have already done so. A few Bison recruits are rumoured and/or announced at the various sources, amid a smattering of news around USports hockey. Two players come from the Dub, two from Junior A, and one NCAA transfer. Only one has been announced on the official website.
RYAN GOTTFRIED - D - Seattle (WHL)
We have here a 6'4" 209 lbs defenceman from Winnipeg. He split his 4 year WHL career between Red Deer and Seattle. The various links would describe a hard-nosed player who played a significant role in leading his team to the WHL final.

JONNY HOOKER - C - Prince George (WHL)
Here we have another Winnipeg boy coming home. He split his 5-year WHL career between Brandon and Prince George. In his final season he was team captain and in 64 games had a 17-29-29 stats line.

ROSS HAWRYLUK - G - Western Michigan (NCAA)
Goalies are now tall, aren‛t they? This one is 6'4". He‛s from Lloydminster and played junior for the Nipawin Hawks in the SJHL before a mid-season jump to the NCAA. I would imagine a battle in the crease with the returning Jeremy Link.

ZAC PATRICK - D - Steinbach (MJHL)
He got in two seasons with the Kootenay Ice in the WHL before they moved to Winnipeg. That was followed by two seasons of very few games before settling into Steinbach last year in the MJHL. As a defenceman, he had 9-26-35 in 46 regular season games and then 12 points in 14 playoff games.

JACKSON ARPIN - LW - Winkler (MJHL)
We have here a 6'2" 205 lbs grinding winger. He wore at "A" for the Winkler Flyers. He‛s from Rainy River, Ontario but came to Manitoba for his whole junior career. His Lake of the Woods/Rainy River High School team played in Minnesota, where he amassed 84 points in 49 games over two seasons. He had 54 points in 118 MJHL games.

June 26: Strength of Schedule Analysis
This year the CW teams will play two series against six conference opponents and one series against two conference opponents. Here are the match-ups which occur just once:
MacEwan at Manitoba
Manitoba at Sask
Sask at MacEwan
UBC at Alberta
Alberta v Calgary
Calgary at TWU
TWU at Regina
Regina at MRU
MRU at UBC
I find it odd that long-term rivals like the Evil Monkeys and Dinosaurs will play just the once.
I did a strength-of-schedule calculation based last year's standings. For each team, I removed them and ranked their opponents by their ranking from 1st to 8th. The lowest score is therefore 3 (i.e. you play the number 1 and 2 teams) and the highest score is 15 (i.e. you play the number 7 and 8 teams).
Last year's rankings were:
1 Alberta
2 UBC
3 MRU
4 Sask
5 Calgary
6 Regina
7 Manitoba
8 MacEwan
9 TWU
Adding it up and UBC hit the jackpot whilst Sask drew the short straw. Here's the numbers:
UBC 3
Alberta 5
MRU 7
Calgary 9
Regina 11
TWU 11
MacEwan 12
Manitoba 12
Sask 13
Of course, this year's standings are unlikely to be the same as last year's.
I am wondering if they put forward a multi-year plan for a schedule rotation. If so, over four seasons each team would have 7 series against each opponent. (Assuming no teams are added or deleted in the meantime.) |

July 2: Meanwhile, out in British California ...
 
There is a post on the SFU site which has a story from March accompanied by a recent picture. The link is posted and the picture is below. The picture is stated to be a "proposed schedule", which is not how teams typiclly phrase these things.
If accurate:
- It would confirm that the BCIHL is going to be a 5-team league. The two teams previously announced to commence play in 2022-23 (Thompson Okanagan Pioneers and Fraser Valley Brigade) are being replaced by one (Logan Lake Miners). These are all called "independent transfer teams", a designation unique to B.C. The Okanagan Lakers (who started play in 2021-22) had players from Okanagan College's main Kelowna campus and UBC-Okanagan. The Pioneers were to have players from Thompson Rivers University, Okanagan College's smaller Kamloops campus, and Nicola Valley Institute of Technology. Logan Lake is to include players from just Thompson Rivers and Nicola Valley. The Brigade was to be based in Abbotsford and Chilliwack with players to come from the University of the Fraser Valley, Columbia Bible College, Ashton College, Summit Pacific College, and CDI College. Clearly, the Pioneers have been replaced by the Miners. Whether the Brigade is still a possibility is TBA.
- SFU would make a trip to Alaska Sept 24-25 to play one game against each of Alaska's NCAA teams. Each of those would make a return trip south for a weekend double-header later in the season. That makes six games against NCAA teams for SFU.
- Exhbition games against Holy Trinity and UBC are a given. Whether this will continue to be part of the "Captain's Cup" series is TBA and, if so, whether or not VIU and Victoria would again be included.
