➤ Boxscore: SCSU

I listened to this game via on-line radio on Friday afternoon. The 1st period was rather hum-drum, the teams evidently suffering from turkey legs. SCSU scored the only goal. Action picked up in the 2nd, with 6 penalties. SCSU scored twice on the PP, and once shorthanded. The Bisons scored one on the PP, and once more just after a PP. The only 3rd period goal was an empty-netter by SCSU.

The Bisons return home to play a CW conference series against Regina on January 6th and 7th, and then host Ukraine on January 9th.


The Bisons are using their alternate 3rd jersey again.

One would expect them to improve as the tour progresses. I have not seen a boxscore or summary. However, I did watch the game on CanadaWest.tv, which is streaming the entire tour. Some Ukrainian players had black pants, while others had blue. Remember when that happened over here many years ago?

January 2-3: MID-WEEK REPORT

The Bisons are off until Friday, January 6th when they start the second semester at home against Regina with a double-header weekend. Then on Monday, January 9th they will face Team Ukraine at the Canada Life Centre to wrap up Ukraine's Hockey Can't Stop Tour. So in this report, all the news is from elsewhere.

On January 2, 2023, Team Ukraine played game two of their tour. This was a fairly evenly played game, with the Dinos holding the edge in shots by 28-27. Ukraine scored the opener but thereafter were held off the scoresheet. The final goal was an empty-netter by the Dinos. This was the best game of the tour thus far.

On January 3, 2023, Ukraine played game three of their tour. It produced their worst result. If this is an accurate preview of the Evil Monkeys' performance in the 2nd semester, the CW better be ready for them. Ukraine never got on the scoreboard until they were already down 4-0. Ukraine did rally to actually lead in shots, 28-25, by the end of the game. Where finishing touch is lacking from Team Ukraine, the Evil Monkeys have it in abundance.

The signing of Barlage should help the Banjo Cats. He's 6'5" and 210 lbs and peaked at 20 goals in his WHL career. They also lost Tyler Adams, a 5th year forward and WHL grad who had 4 goals and 6 assists in 15 games. He's off to Savannah of the ECHL.

In the meantime, they had the one non-conference game on January 2nd, and eaked out on OTW over Briercrest College. This was the only non-conference game for an ACAC team this holiday season. At 5-6-1, the Clippers are much better than usual so far this year.

The annual report on WHL scholarships is out, and the links include a PDF with every player listed by university. As always, a large percentage of scholarship recipients do not play hockey in the CW, or elsewhere.

This year, 208 of the 341 WHL Scholarship recipients are furthering their education at Universities in Western Canada, with 143 of those playing Canadian University hockey at the U SPORTS level in the Canada West (CW) men’s hockey league. In many cases, these student athletes have combined their WHL Scholarship with additional financial assistance from Canada West Universities to receive the Western Canada Premier Hockey Scholarship.

Alberta leads all Western provinces, having produced 125 WHL graduates currently accessing the WHL Scholarship, followed by British Columbia (78), Saskatchewan (61), and Manitoba (48). A total of 23 U.S. and international WHL graduates are accessing their WHL Scholarship.

WHL Graduates continuing to play hockey at the elite Canadian University or College level:
Canada West Conference – 143
Ontario University Athletics – 48
Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) – 23
Atlantic University Sport – 14
B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) – 2
Total – 230

By process of elimination, 111 scholarship recipients are not playing hockey at a university or college.

Welcome to the 2nd semester! It is always odd to wrap Christmas and New Years and suddenly see the end of the regular season closing in quickly. There are just six weeks left in the CW regular season. The Bisons hold the 6th and final playoff spot, while Regina sits in 8th place, 6 points behind. Neither team has any byes left, so each has 12 games left. So anything less than a sweep would pretty much dash the Cougars' hopes.

GoBisons.ca has two linked stories on Brett Davis. One for being named to Canada‛s Universiade team and the other for being the WHL grad of the 1st semester. Davis is 3rd in conference scoring (16GP/10G/16A). Linemate Devon Skoleski is 11th (15GP/9G/12A). Defenceman Chase Hartje is 29th (16GP/5G/10A) and Colton Veloso is 33rd (16GP/5G/8A).

The Banjo-Cats have three players in the Top 40: Tyler Heidt is 22nd (16GP/4G/13A), Brennan Riddle is 31st (16GP/1G/13A), and Matt Culling is 32nd (16GP/6G/7A).

The Bisons will follow this series with a game against the Ukraine Under-25 National Team on Monday at the Canada Life Centre. This is the wrap-up game of their tour of the prairies.

➤ UofC: Red-Hot Dinos set to battle Griffins

The Family Guys were looking like a playoff contender but faded as the 1st semester wore on. Meanwhile, Bedrock U was going 50/50 until closing with 13 straight wins. They have vaulted into 1st place, but any hiccups (like losing to Mac) could drop them as far as 3rd. This is a home-and-home series.

This home-and-home is the feature series of the weekend. The Bluegars have been teetering on the brink of contender status for a few years now. In my opinion, this is a make-or-break season for them. This series could set the tone for the home stretch. A sweep by one team would boost their fortunes immensely. The Evil Monkeys have been inconsistent, and this is the closest they have come to being in danger of playing in the quarter-finals for a long time.

Note that no players on either side are on the Universiade roster. Perhaps a sign that their focus is on the CW regular season.

Holy Trinity has the above-noted new recruit. However, they are simply playing spoiler. The Banjo-Mutts seem on a 1st round collision course with UBC, and are holding on to a two-point lead in that race.

Welcome to the 2nd semester! It is always odd to wrap Christmas and New Years and suddenly see the end of the regular season closing in quickly. There are just six weeks left in the CW regular season. The Bisons hold the 6th and final playoff spot, while Regina sits in 8th place, 6 points behind. Neither team has any byes left, so each has 12 games left. So anything less than a sweep would pretty much dash the Cougars' hopes.

GoBisons.ca has two linked stories on Brett Davis. One for being named to Canada‛s Universiade team and the other for being the WHL grad of the 1st semester. Davis is 3rd in conference scoring (16GP/10G/16A). Linemate Devon Skoleski is 11th (15GP/9G/12A). Defenceman Chase Hartje is 29th (16GP/5G/10A) and Colton Veloso is 33rd (16GP/5G/8A).

The Banjo-Cats have three players in the Top 40: Tyler Heidt is 22nd (16GP/4G/13A), Brennan Riddle is 31st (16GP/1G/13A), and Matt Culling is 32nd (16GP/6G/7A).

The Bisons will follow this series with a game against the Ukraine Under-25 National Team on Monday at the Canada Life Centre. This is the wrap-up game of their tour of the prairies.

This home-and-home is the feature series of the weekend. The Bluegars have been teetering on the brink of contender status for a few years now. In my opinion, this is a make-or-break season for them. This series could set the tone for the home stretch. A sweep by one team would boost their fortunes immensely. The Evil Monkeys have been inconsistent, and this is the closest they have come to being in danger of playing in the quarter-finals for a long time.

Note that no players on either side are on the Universiade roster. Perhaps a sign that their focus is on the CW regular season.

January 6-7: COMPLETE WEEKEND WRAP-UP

A busy weekend both inside and outside the rink led me to do one ominbus post for the entire weekend. One team got four points in all four series. Here we go.

Quick Summary
Reg: R. Krane (19:02 3rd), J. Fletcher (19:46 3rd)
Man: H. Ostir (08:03 3rd), H. Ostir (18:33 3rd)
Goal: Reg: Evanoff (28 shots, 26 saves), Man: Hawryluk (43 shots, 41 saves)

Friday‛s game was a dud. Saturday‛s loss was more painful, however. It was a tight game all the way, 0-0 well into the 3rd period. When Hayden Ostir scored his 2nd of the night with less than 90 seconds left, it seemed victory was inevitable. However, Friday‛s bad habits resurfaced and two last minute goals by the Banjo-Cats forced OT, then a shoot-out. Ostir appeared to have the winner in OT but it was called off.

Next up is Monday night‛s game against Ukraine‛s Under-25 National Team, which should be a lot of fun.


Ostir almost had a hat-trick.

Goal: Calg: Stankowski (22 shots, 21 saves), Mac: Abel (38 shots, 36 saves)

The Family Guys gave Bedrock U a tough run in both games, but in the end the Dinos‛ win streak hit 15. On Friday night, the Mutants held a 2-0 lead at one point, and it was tied 4-4 entering the 3rd. On Saturday, the Dinos‛ margin was a bit exaggerated by two empty-netters.

Goal: Alta: Kruger (31 shots, 28 saves), MRU: Farkas (25 shots, 23 saves)

This was the feature match-up of the weekend and the Bluegars answered the bell. Right now it looks like the Evil Monkeys are destined to the quarter-finals (perhaps against the Bisons) and would have to win that plus an away series in Calgary to qualify for the U-Cup. Friday was strange in that MRU had a 5-0 first period lead. Blowing that could have been distressing.

I note that the Monkeys started Schneider in goal on Friday, but yanked him after giving up 3 goals in 6 minutes. Berlin finished and was tagged with the loss. On Saturday they were both benched in favour of Kruger. They all have starter-quality stats, but I don‛t think that a CW team can fit three goalies into a 28-game regular season and have a true #1 set for the playoffs.

Goal: Sask: Kooy (27 shots, 25 saves), TWU: Berkeliev (60 shots, 53 saves)

Holy Trinity gave the Banjo-Mutts a big scare in the first semester, and Friday was similar. The Mutts took a 2-0 lead, but four straight goals for TWU made it 4-2 late in the 2nd. The Mutts scored five unanswered for a commanding 7-4 lead. Two late goals for TWU made the scoreline look nicer. I saw a good chunk of the Saturday rematch. It was your basic whipping.

This was a Friday night non-conference game, the last of the season for UBC. In fact, the last for everybody but for Monday‛s Manitoba-Ukraine game. There have been some schedule changes in the BCIHL. One change is that Simon Fraser‛s series next weekend against Alaska-Fairbanks has been scrubbed.

The Family Guys gave Bedrock U a tough run in both games, but in the end the Dinos‛ win streak hit 15. On Friday night, the Mutants held a 2-0 lead at one point, and it was tied 4-4 entering the 3rd. On Saturday, the Dinos‛ margin was a bit exaggerated by two empty-netters.

Goal: Alta: Kruger (31 shots, 28 saves), MRU: Farkas (25 shots, 23 saves)

This was the feature match-up of the weekend and the Bluegars answered the bell. Right now it looks like the Evil Monkeys are destined to the quarter-finals (perhaps against the Bisons) and would have to win that plus an away series in Calgary to qualify for the U-Cup. Friday was strange in that MRU had a 5-0 first period lead. Blowing that could have been distressing.

I note that the Monkeys started Schneider in goal on Friday, but yanked him after giving up 3 goals in 6 minutes. Berlin finished and was tagged with the loss. On Saturday they were both benched in favour of Kruger. They all have starter-quality stats, but I don‛t think that a CW team can fit three goalies into a 28-game regular season and have a true #1 set for the playoffs.

Holy Trinity gave the Banjo-Mutts a big scare in the first semester, and Friday was similar. The Mutts took a 2-0 lead, but four straight goals for TWU made it 4-2 late in the 2nd. The Mutts scored five unanswered for a commanding 7-4 lead. Two late goals for TWU made the scoreline look nicer. I saw a good chunk of the Saturday rematch. It was your basic whipping.

There have been some schedule changes in the BCIHL. One change is that Simon Fraser‛s series next weekend against Alaska-Fairbanks has been scrubbed.

What a night! I was shocked to see 8,000 people filling the lower bowl of the Canada Life Centre, most assuredly the biggest crowd the Bisons have drawn for a home game. It was clear from the preponderance of blue and yellow flags that most of the fans came from Manitoba's 200,000+ Ukrainian community.

The crowd included 1,500 Ukrainian refugees, Dancin' Gabe, Bennie the Jet, Mickie Moose, and Billy the Bison. Everybody was in good spirits in a party atmosphere.

The only drawback was that the last-minute ticket sales overwhelmed the arena staff resulting in long line-ups at the entry points. They held back the face-off. Which was good because Winnipeg's Hoosli Ukrainian Men's Chorus sang both national anthems. You have to check them out some time.

The video I linked has the CWTV intro followed by Ukrainian play-by-play. The video starts at the national anthems.

Team Ukraine is now off to the FISU Universiade in New York State. Bison leading scorer Brett Davis is off to play for Team Canada. (He was not in tonight's line-up.) Canada and Ukraine open against one another on January 12th.


The group photo was an integral part of all four games on the tour.


The crowd shot was what made the evening special.


Lots of flags throughout the stands.

The Bisons are in tough this weekend. Any points they get are a bonus. They are missing leading scorer Brett Davis (off to the Universiade for two weeks) and dressed one short in last Saturday‛s game. They‛ll need hot goaltending and a couple strong individual performances. Meanwhile, the Bluegars‛ top players declined Universiade invites to participate in the push for a quarter-final bye.

These teams are tied for 7th, and are 3 points behind Manitoba for the final playoff berth. It seems unlikely that any of the teams in this race will make up much ground against the top 3 or 4 teams, so somebody needs a sweep of this series.
