Sept 23: MUTTS AND MONKEYS PICK UP WINSSunday night brought to an end the "pre-season" component of the exhibition season. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD YORK LIONS 2 SASKATCHEWAN HUSKIES 5 Links: York: [S&R*] Sask: [S&R*] Sask never even posted a score on this one. It only got tweeted in response to a question! This game brought the curtain down on The Rutherdump. May it R.I.P. So York goes 0-3-0, even losing to last-place Regina. One has to wonder about their prospects for the season. Sask ends the pre-season unblemished at 4-0-0. ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 9 N.A.I.T. OOKS 1 Links: Alberta: [Linescore] ACAC: [S&R] The Evil Monkeys had an early stumble in pre-season but certainly hit their stride as they demolished the ACAC foes in the Athabasca Tournament.

The regular season kicks off in the CW and the AUS this week, whilst the OUA gets in one more week of non-conference/exhibition play. Last year, Calgary had the 3rd best record in the CW, but use of an ineligible player early in the first half of the season cost them 8 points in the standings, and had them slump to 5th. The Bisons capitalized and claimed 3rd place. The regular season was considered a disappointment in the Town of Bedrock last year. They had a much ballyhooed recruiting class, that never seemed to get on track. They are once again a highly touted team, but I say let's wait and see. In pre-season the clobbered MacEwan from the ACAC twice, split with MRU, and beat Alberta. That would suggest they are capable. The Bisons are becoming somewhat less typical, recruiting more and more small, quick players all the time. IMO they need some size in their defence this year. They were often exploited there last year. I have seen just their lone home exhibition game, and they did handle Regina well. The Dinos, however, are a much different side. Losing four good players who were eligible to return (St. Croix, Laurencelle, Lisoway, and Heinrich) has hurt the Bisons. ELSEWHERE IN THE CW U.B.C.

The Hŏrny Ōnes seem to be spinning their wheels despite hosting this year's U-Cup. UBC always seems to rise to a certain level and then stop. REGINA COUGARS (0-0-0, 2-2-0, 2017-18: 4-22-2 OHT35 #33) MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS (0-0-0, 1-2-0, 2017-18: 12-14-2 OHT35 #17)
Links: UofR: [Cougars top York as Lions open Mark Cross Memorial Tour] MRU: [2018/19 Men's Hockey Season Preview] The Cat fight is on right away! The Bluegars host the series. Regina had just 4 exhibition games, and were 0-2-0 against CW teams. MRU had just 3 games, the lightest schedule in the CW. Regina was very much the doormat of the CW last year. They still appear to be the weak sister, but have been finding some solid recruits. SASKATCHEWAN HUSKIES (0-0-0, 4-0-0, 2017-18: 20-7-1 OHT35 #5) ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS (0-0-0, 4-1-1, 2017-18: 23-4-1 OHT35 #2) Links: UofS: [Huskies, Bears expected to battle yet again] UofS: [PREVIEW: Huskies to face off with rival Golden Bears in season-opener] UofA: [Golden Bears to raise 16th University Cup banner this Saturday] This series goes Saturday and Sunday, instead of Friday-Saturday like the rest. These were two of the top four teams in Canada a year ago, and both are touted to be as good as they were a year ago. Personally, I believe that the Mutts lost a lot, not easily replaced with new recruits. Still, they had the best pre-season record of any USports team.

One goal came from a veteran (Brett Stovin) and one from a rookie (Devon Skoleski). The stage was set for a good 3rd period, however the Dinos took control with three unanswered goals. Jordan Papirny got the win (with 14 saves) and Byron Spriggs took the loss (with 34 saves). The rematch goes Saturday at 2:00 MDT, 3:00 CDT.

Sept 30: MONKEYS GET REVENGE ON MUTTS OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD SASKATCHEWAN HUSKIES 1 ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 5 Links: LeagueStat: [Summary] : [CWHT Summary] Boxscores: [US/CIS] : [CW] Stories: [UofA] : [rp @cw] : [UofS] The Monkeys were down to 16 skaters for this rematch. However, the head organ grinder must have offered plenty of bananas to the survivors to get them going for this one. The turning point IMO was during a 2nd period PP situation. The Mutts were down two and went on the PP, during which time the Evil Monkeys scored twice. Game Over. Zach Sawchenko got a turn in goal for the Apes, and faced just 15 shots in claiming the win. Taran Kozun started once again for the Mutts, stopping 30 of 35 shots. Taylor Cooper had 2 goals and an assist to lead the Monkey offence. So the Mutts had to be satisfied with a split, a quick drink from the toilet, and a bus ride back to Saskatown.

But the Bisons, Lethbridge, Mount Royal, and Alberta are headed south for games against various NCAA teams. All trips are Saturday/Sunday format. For the Bisons, they are off to play two teams from the NCAC. It is a strong conference. Last year UND defeated UNO in the quarter-finals. Omaha is coached by Mike Gabinet, former coach of the NAIT Ooks. UND is ranked 11th in one poll, and 12th in another. In this week's news, there are three stories linked from GoBisons.ca. First, rookie Devon Skoleski was the male UofM athlete-of-the week, based on scoring in both games last weekend. Second, the 123 Bison athletes to be recognozed as Academic All-Canadians beats the previous UofM record of 117. The total includes 8 hockey players off last year's squad. And third, we have a preview story which includes a blurb on the Bison Broads raising their national championship banner on Friday night. Around USports, Dinos' coach Mark Howell will coach the All-Stars against the Team Canada Juniors in December. And UNB was ranked #1 in the first Top Ten. Oddly, York got votes after going 0-3-0 on their trip to Sask.

Oct 6: BISONS LOSE IN OVERTIME MANITOBA BISONS 2 NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING HAWKS 3 (in overtime)
Links: CHN: [Scoreboard] : [Boxscore] UND: [Stats (pdf)] : [Game Story] : [Live Stats] UofM: [Schedule/Results] : [Twitter] : [Tweet] The Fighting Hawks, or Suddenly-Peaceful-Sioux, built a 2-0 lead, lost it in the 3rd period, then won it on a PP goal in overtime. That's the abridged version. The UND website is not what it used to be. At one time they provided links to legible boxscores or summaries, video highlights, and a game story or two. Now their team links for live stats were trash. In some ways, it was even worse than that pathetic rubbish put out by USports. The version of the live stats page was totally different if viewed on a desktop, tablet, or cell phone. There were no lineups on the desktop version, for example. At the end of the day, I would recommend the College Hockey News (CHN) boxscore linked, and the UND game story. The Bison Twitter account also had updates, as shown in this picture: The CHN site also displayed the usual line combinations, and the complete line-up: Forwards: 21 Brooks - 15 Jameson - 12 Zajac 22 Leipsic - 28 Stovin - 8 Bilton 29 Wasylak - 10 Skoleski - 26 LeBlanc 18 Armour - 16 Martin - 14 Freeman Defence: 3 Christensen - 2 Henry 25 Skrumeda - 24 Lenchyschyn 23 Dwyer - 11 Dyck 5 Paradoski Goal: 35 Spriggs (1 Paulic did not play) Scratches: 4 Bilton - 9 Franko - 27 Doerksen 30 Brown - 34 Sydora Byron Spriggs stopped 52 of 55 shots, to be named 1st star. Uniquely, both Bison goals were scored by players of the hard-nosed variety, Thomas Lenchyschyn and Jonah Wasylak. This was Wasylak's first game back in over a year. The extra defenceman dressed for the Bisons was Brandon Paradoski. He went to St. Paul's then played Junior B for the Selkirk Fishermen and then MMJHL for the Seven Oaks Raiders. I guess that since Sean Christensen has done so well, the team is somewhat less afraid to dip into the MMJHL for a depth player. I'll have to do full profiles of the new recruits brought in after the recruiting season had apparently ended. This photo of the overtime winner also gives us a glimpse of the new Bison dark uniform. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 3 MINNESOTA STATE MAVERICKS 7 Links: CHN: [Boxscore] MRU: [Schedule/Results] The Bluegars have two strong opponents this weekend. They were outshot by a 43-17 margin on the night. LETHBRIDGE PRONGHORNS 1 WESTERN MICHIGAN BRONCOS 4 Links: CHN: [Boxscore] UofL: [Schedule/Results] The Hørny Ønes were outshot 47-11. Still fairly typical result one would expect for them. ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 4 DENVER PIONEERS 6 Links: CHN: [Boxscore] UofA: [Linescore] The Monkeys had a 3-2 lead in the 2nd period but then fell apart. They outshot the Sandwiches 40-34 on the night.

Oct 7: BISONS LOSE IN OMAHA MANITOBA BISONS 1 NEBRASKA-OMAHA MAVERICKS 6 Links: CHN: [Scoreboard] : [Boxscore] UNO: [Game Story] : [Twitter] : [Video Tweet] UofM: [Schedule/Results] : [Twitter] : [Tweet] The Bisons ventured further south for game two of the weekend and had a tough night in Omaha. Brett Brooks scored their only goal. Byron Spriggs did not suit up, leaving goaltending to be split between Justin Paulic (stopping 28 of 32 shots) and Dasan Sydora (stopping 22 of 24 shots). Here's how they lined up: Goaltenders: 1 Paulic - 34 Sydora Defence: 2 Henry - 25 Skrumeda 5 Paradoski - 24 Lenchyschyn 23 Dwyer - 11 Dyck Forwards: 21 Brooks - 15 Jameson - 12 Zajac 22 Leipsic - 28 Stovin - 8 Bilton 29 Wasylak - 10 Skoleski - 26 LeBlanc 18 Armour - 16 Martin - 14 Freeman Scratches: 3 Christensen - 4 Nault 9 Franko - 27 Doerksen 30 Brown - 35 Spriggs Hopefully those scratches will recover in time to face the Monkeys in next weekend's home opener, Friday and Saturday at 7:00 p.m. Paulic played two periods, Sydora played the 3rd. There were also two additional Saturday night picture Tweets posted. Here they are, with a sample picture. 1. Photo Tweet2. Photo TweetCaptain Stovin in action Saturday at UND. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 2 ST.

LETHBRIDGE PRONGHORNS 2 FERRIS STATE BULLDOGS 5 Links: CHN: [Boxscore] UofL: [Schedule/Results] The Hørny Ønes were off to a 2-0 lead before the Bullfrogs turned the game around with five unanswered goals.

ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 2 AIR FORCE FALCONS 2 Links: CHN: [Boxscore] UofA: [Linescore] AFA: [Game Story] No shootouts in the NCAA. After the OT was done, this one was called a draw. The Monkeys went with Kenny Cameron in goal. They were outshot 16-3 in the 1st period, but the game was still scoreless. In the 2nd period, the Monkeys scored two early goals and outshot Air Force 16-11. However, they could not hold the lead and left the USA kissing their sisters.

Rust falling from the rafters ought to have been the final straw years ago. The big difference as far as hockey is concerned is that the ice surface will be full size, not the mini-ice the Huskies have been used to having. Will this prompt the recruitment of smaller players, and better skaters? I also see that it will have indoor plumbing, a rarity in Saskatown.

This week in the CW features a quirk in the schedule in that all the teams who went 1-1 in the opening round face one another, the two 2-0 teams face one another, and the two winless teams also face one another. In this matchup between the Bisons and Evil Monkeys, the teams (on the surface) have had similar runs the last two weeks. Both started the regular season with a split against a team with a pre-season victory over their opponent (Calgary split with Manitoba and beat Alberta in pre-season, and Sask did the same in reverse). Both were 0-1-1 in the USA last weekend (albeit the Monkeys had a tie, not an OTL). One issue to observe is both sides' line-ups. Last weekend the Bisons were without Zach Franko and Kamerin Nault from their first line, and the Monkeys were without their whole top line. With so many new players, an dmost coming from Junior A, the Bisons lack depth in comparison to the Monkeys. In disappointing news, Findlay's “Tuesday Morning Skate” and podcast are now at the Usports site, instead of CUSN. (Why couldn't it be at both?) Since the Usports site is trash, it might be hard to get it. We'll see.

Both were impressive on the Friday night of the opening weekend before crashing to Earth on Saturday. Sask had the best pre-season in all of the CIS (USports). Is Calgary a true contender, as pundits speculate? Or are they better viewed in a group with Manitoba, UBC, and MRU?

IMO, Regina has recruited fairly well the last two years and are not terrible. They're just not as good as the top 6 teams in the CW.

Oct 12: COMEBACK VICTORY FOR THE BISONS ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 2 MANITOBA BISONS 3 Links: LeagueStat: [Summary] : [Report] CW Hockey Tech: [Summary] : [Report] : [Text] Boxscores: [US/CIS] : [CW] : [Coach's View] : [UofM] Stories: [UofM (with video)] : [rp @cw] : [rp @uofa] Series Preview: [UofM] After the conference bye week and the end of non-conference play, the teams of the CW got down to some hotly contested games Friday night. Included was a dandy game at the Wayne Fleming Arena where a boisterous crowd, which included the Engineering Symonized Marching Band, cheered the Bisons on to a win over the Evil Monkeys. The Herd is now 2-1-0 and tied for 2nd place, whilst the Primates are 1-2-0 and tied for 5th. Here's how they lined up: MANITOBA Goal: 35 Spriggs (34 Sydora) Defence: 2 Henry 3 Christensen 25 Skrumeda 24 Lenchyschyn 11 Dyck 23 Dwyer Forwards: 21 Brooks 15 Jameson 12 Zajak 9 Franko 28 Stovin 8 Bolton 4 Nault 10 Skoleski 26 Leblanc 29 Wasylak 16 Martin 14 Freeman Scratches: 1 Paulic 5 Paradoski 18 Armour 22 Leipsic 27 Doerksen 30 Brown ALBERTA Goal: 35 Sawchenko (31 Cameron) Defence: 6 Craig 4 Kirichenko 5 Fram 22 Carroll 7 Lange 8 Rehill Forwards: 36 Cox 12 Philp 27 Miske 37 Nickles 14 Kieser 11 Cooper 17 Hart 23 Clarkson 24 Tomchuk 16 Pawlenchuk 13 Owre 26 Sanford Scratches: 1 Burke 9 Legault 18 Baillie 19 Magee 21 Kimmett 40 Lineker 52 Charif For the first time in a while, Alberta iced a full roster. Also, the Bisons got back a lot of injured players. The Monkeys amassed a 2-0 lead in the 1st period with a pair of PP goals by Cole Sanford. The preponderance of penalties favoured Alberta. The Bisons turned it around in the 2nd period. Devon Skoleski (with his 3rd) scored on the PP and Brett Stovin (with his 4th) tied it up, as the Bisons outshot Alberta 12-10 in the period. Midway through the 3rd period, Nick Zajac scored his 1st of the season and suddenly it looked like the Bisons could do it. The Monkeys threw a lot of bananas at Spriggs, but he was quite up to the task. The shots were 38-28 favouring Alberta. The three stars were Spriggs, Zajac, and Sanford.

So a shootout seems appropriate. I saw the ending on CanadaWest.tv after getting home from the Bison game. Lots of crazy penalties and aggressiveness. Saturday's rematch should be quite the tussle. Taran Kozun got the win (29 saves) and Jordan Papirny took the loss (46 saves). There were eight different goal-scorers.

Garret Hughson made 31 saves to claim the win, and Dawson MacAuley had 28 saves in the loss. Lethbridge vaults out of the basement with the win, at 1-2-0, and Regina is 0-2-1.

After an extensive pre-season, every team in the CW has now hosted and travelled for a weekend series. The Bisons had a marginally sub-standard exhibition record, but a split in the Town of Bedrock followed by a split against the Evil Monkeys is the envy of most teams in Usports. All told, the Herd is tied for 3rd place with three other teams. Regina, meanwhile, are not a bad team but the best they could manage thus far is an OTL in games against MRU and Lethbridge (the teams who were 6th and 7th last year). Being swept at home by the Hørny Ønes is not part of the recipe for success. In the recent past, the Bisons have had the Cougars' number. The Bisons beat the Banjocats 5-2 in a September exhibition game, made to look close when the 'Cats scored a late goal. In 2017-18, the Bisons were 4-0-0, with Regina getting one point for an OTL. Over the past 4 years, the Bisons are 14-1-1 (Regina is 2-13-1) in head-to-head games. Regina's top four scorers include two veteran defencemen: Tyler King (2-2-4) and Landon Peel (1-2-3). The other two are rookie forwards, Arthur Miller (1-2-3 in 3 games) is hoping to write a story called “Death of a Playoff Drought”, and Connor Chaulk (1-2-3) has done well. Last year's rookie-of-the-year, Zak Zborosky, missed the opening weekend and has one assist in two games. Goaltenders Dawson MacAuley (4th year) and Michael Herringer (2nd year) have split the duties thus far. They have both had their moments. Herringer wound up 4-12-0, 5.11 GAA, .863 S% last year. This year he's 0-2-0, 5.01 GAA, .833 S%. At this early stage, four points gets a guy tied for 7th in conference scoring, and the Bisons have four forwards in that group. Brett Stovin (4-0-4) used to get mostly assists, veterans Brett Brook and Nick Zajac are both 1-3-4, and newcomer Keaton Jameson is 0-4-0. Another newcomer, Devon Skoleski, is off to a 3-0-3 start. Defenceman Lucas Skrumeda was off to a great start and also had somepoints (1-2-3 in 3 games) before being injured on a hit from behind last Friday. When all is said and done, Regina will steal some points from various teams this season. The Bisons will hope it starts next week. ELSEWHERE IN THE CW U.B.C.

The Banjomutts' position in this series is akin to the Bisons' position in the Regina series. Having played Alberta and Calgary, they are off to a 3-1-0 start. But points lost here could damage them down the road in the race for a top-two finish needed for a bye to the semi-finals.

The Bluegars, in turn, were swept by UBC and swept Regina. In this home-and-home series, it could be said that the Bluegars should feel the pressure to not just steal a point, but to get a split like everybody else.

Oct 19: KITTENS PURRING AFTER FIRST WIN REGINA COUGARS 3 MANITOBA BISONS 1 Links: LeagueStat: [Summary] : [Report] CW Hockey Tech: [Summary] : [Report] : [Text] Boxscores: [US/CIS] : [CW] : [Coach's View] : [UofM] Stories: [UofM] : [rp @cw] : [UofR] GoBisons.ca: [WEEKEND PREVIEW: Men’s hockey alumni night, soccer senior’s night, and more] GoBisons.ca: [Bison alum Bob Lowes reflects on lessons from Wayne Fleming] Free Press (pay wall): [Cougars goalie turns aside Bisons] This was the proverbial "trap game" for the Bisons. The intensity level was half (or less) than it was for the Alberta series a weekend ago. Combined with a series of bad bounces and a hot goaltender and just like that the Banjocats have their first win of the season. Here's how they lined up: MANITOBA Goal: 35 Spriggs (1 Paulic) Defence: 2 Henry 3 Christensen 23 Dwyer 11 Dyck 24 Lenchyschyn 5 Paradoski Forwards: 21 Brooks 15 Jameson 12 Zajak 9 Franko 28 Stovin 8 Bolton 29 Wasylak 10 Skoleski 4 Nault 22 Leipsic 14 Freeman 26 Leblanc Scratches: 16 Martin 18 Armour 25 Skrumeda 27 Doerksen 30 Brown 34 Sydora REGINA Goal: 31 MacAuley (35 Herringer) Defence: 2 Hilsendager 7 King 28 Peel 5 Burns 27 Riddle 22 Eisler Forwards: 23 Miller 13 Frei 32 Zborosky 10 Eskra 8 Anderson 12 Stevely 16 McPhee 9 Chaulk 14 Coughlin 20 Duperreault 17 Kosloski 19 Marr Scratches: 4 Schacher 11 Odelein 18 Adams 21 Kreklewich 24 Hicks 29 Campbell 30 Holtby The 1st period was a quick pace with lots of shots but no goals, Regina holding a 16-13 lead in shots. While still scoreless in the 2nd period, the Bisons started to take control of the game and went to the PP. However, Kitten Zach McPhee drifted what should have been a non-dangerous shot past Byron Spriggs. Arthur Miller completed the story of the 2nd period by making it 2-0 on a nice passing play flowing from an Adam Henry turnover. The 3rd period got off to a rough start. Brandon Paradoski, making his first start in a regular season game, was knocked down in the corner and rather than hold the puck, he passed it into the slot directly to Regina's Corey Kosloski. That made it 3-0, and sent the Bisons into scramble mode. Lots of chances were generated, but only Brett Brooks notched a goal. Bad give-aways were the theme of the night for the Bisons. There were at least a half-dozen glaring ones. In the end, Dawson MacAuley's 36 saves led to Kittens to their first win of 2018-19. The rematch goes Saturday at 2:00 p.m. OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD U.B.C.

Jan 4: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Unfortunately, after I bounced back from my own off-season surgery, the death of my business partner forced me to relocate in October. This left me no time at all for recreational internetting. I still went to the Bison home games, but there was no time to write about them. Did the Bisons ever fall apart during my internet absence. The big problem has been injuries. They usually had a short bench, and generally by two players. I have the impression that some players, though dressed, would not have been had options existed. In past years they could have overcome this. However, the early departure of some top-end and mid-range players meant that some Junior A bodies had to step in to key roles, rather than the support roles normally given. How will they fare in the second half? Well, technically the second lap around the schedule started just before the break, and the Bisons split with Calgary. Decent enough. But now its time for the annual trip to Edmontown to face the Evil Monkeys. The first thing I noticed was that there were just 16 skaters dressed, including a new recruit. Colton Veloso came from the Jacksonville Icemen of the ECHL. Last year he played for the Kootenay Ice in the WHL and scored 25 goals. He seems to be a skilled player and a strong addition. The players not dressed for the Bisons were: 1 Justin Paulic 8 Liam Bilton 12 Nick Zajac 14 Thomas Freeman 18 Garrett Armour 27 Carter Doerksen 28 Brett Stovin 30 Tyler Brown Tonight’s game was not as good as the two games played at the Fleming Arena in the first half. The Monkeys outshot the Herd 50-13. However, in the 3rd period with the score 2-1 the Bisons went on the powerplay and generated some decent chances. A turnover gave the Apes an insurance banana just as the penalty expired. An empty-netter at the 20:00 minute mark of the 3rd (isn’t that when the game is over?) made it 4-1 to enhance the scoreline. Zach Sawchenko got the win, and Byron Spriggs took the loss. Riley Keiser, Jayden Hart (with two, including the ENG), and Trevor Cox scored for the Monkeys. Jonah Wasylak had the Bison goal, on a nice break-out play with assists to Zach Franko and Adam Henry.

In a scheduling oddity, the entire CW schedule is being played in Saudi Alberta this weekend. Moving south, we go to the Town of Bedrock. The Mutts are in first place, and Bedrock U is in the third, so this figured to be a good one. This was very defensive. The shots were 12-8 in favour of the Dinos after two periods, though Sask held a 1-0 lead. Carson Stadnyk scored twice for Sask (his 9th and 10th goals of the season) in the 3rd to put the game away, once short-handed and one empty-netter. Taran Kozun got the win, and Jordan Papirny took the loss. U.B.C. THUNDERBIRDS 2 MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 5 Links: LeagueStat: [Summary] : [CWHT Summary] Boxscores: [US/CIS] : [CW] Stories: [MRU] : [rp @cw] : [UBC*] Preview: [UBC] This was a surprisingly easy win for the Bluegars. They outshot UBC 9-1 in the 1st period (!!!!) and 14-6 in the 2nd en route to a 3-1 lead. The T-irds picke dit up in the 3rd periodbut it was too little, too late. Ryley Lindgren scored his 8th and 9th of the season for MRU. Riley Morris got the win, and Rylan Toth giot the loss.

This would normally be an epic battle of cellar-dwellers. Instead, this was a 55-37 shot clock shellacking. Sam McKechnie scored twice for Lethbridge, Garret Highson got the win, and Dawson MacAuley got the loss.

Jan 5: MONKEYS EDGE BISONS IN OVERTIME MANITOBA BISONS 4 ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 5 (in overtime)
Links: LeagueStat: [Summary] : [Report] CW Hockey Tech: [Summary] : [Report] : [Text] Boxscores: [US/CIS] : [CW] : [Coach's View] : [UofM] Stories: [UofA] : [rp @cw] : [rp @uofm] After being dominated on Friday night, the Bisons were able to bounce back with a solid performance that would have been enough for two points against most teams in Usports. Liam Bilton was back in the line-up, meaning that the Bisons were only short one body. The Evil Monkeys held leads of 2-0 and 4-2, but both times the Bisons battled back to tie the game. Here’s the quick summary: 1. AB Sanford, (8) (Kieser, Rehill), 14:13 2. AB Legault, (2) (Kirichenko, Owre), 2:39 2. MAN Franko, (6) , 3:07 2. MAN Wasylak, (3) (Leipsic, Jameson), 7:14 (PP) 3. AB Philp, (10) (Magee, Pawlenchuk), 1:50 3. AB Magee, (5) (Craig, Pawlenchuk), 3:17 3. MAN Leipsic, (5) (Henry, Dwyer), 16:27 3. MAN Henry, (3) (Bilton, Brooks), 19:59 OT1. AB Philp, (11) (Carroll), 3:23 Byron Spriggs took the loss, with 30 saves on 35 shots, and Kenny Cameron stopped 23 of 27 shots for the win. Next weekend the Bisons will host the MRU Bluegars next Friday at 7:00 and Saturday at 2:00.

The Mutts had a hard time generating offence again. All they managed was 19 shots ibn being shutout by Matthew Greenfield. In their net, Taran Kozun stopped 26 of 29 to take the loss. Dane Gibson had his 6th and 7th of the season for Bedrock U. U.B.C.

Their only goal was mid-way through the 3rd period when trailing 5-0. Riley Morris got the win (with 25 saves) and Patrick Dea got the loss (with 24 saves).
