The Winnipeg AAA league is just over a week from beginning but in a prelude to the start of the league is a AA tournament in Virden this weekend. It will be an 8 team tournament featuring Brandon, Central Plains, Southwest, Melville (SK), Pembina Valley, Central Plaines, Yellowhead and Norman. Check back through-out the weekend for comments and updates from Virden.
The GSHL has held there 6 team draft and picked squads for the 2011-2012 bantam season. Later this morning, I hope to have a brief run-down on the GSHL and who looks to be the top teams and players etc. Stay turned.
Leduc 7 - Spruce Grove 5
And there was one game in the AMBHL last night as Leduc defeated Spruce Grove in a high scoring affair, 7-5. Matt Fonteyne and Justin Young led the way each with 2 goals, while Tristan Starzynski had 3 assists. Both Fonteyne and Starzynski are expected to be fairly high draft picks for the WHL. Justin Young is coming from the AA Roughnecks, where last year he had a team leading 27 goals and 57 points, so scoring should be expected from him as well. For Spruce Grove, Matthew Quartle led the way with 2 goals. Also of note, Conner Lukan had 2 assists. Lukan had 41 goals in AA last season.
