Camrose 5 - Ft. Saskatchewan 2
Camrose has now run their record to 3-1-0 with a 5-2 win over the now 0-4-0 Ft. Saskatchewan squad. Ft. Saskatchewan have only scored 6 goals in four games which suggests Aaron Kellogg and company could be in for a rather long season. Speaking of Kellogg, he did not play in this one.

Is there a link for the Chicago Showcase?
OHA almost took Semiahmoo and are on a collision course for a rematch. Interesting tourney - Elite teams and average teams - it's tough early in the season to tell, but this one would be more competitive if they'd tiered the pools
It looks like POE and Semi are the powerhouse teams and with BWC's superstar out BWC are just a very good team.
Depth wins hockey games, everyone knows you can't rely on just 1 line to do all the work (all your eggs in one basket)
Cloverdale is playing hard,
NSWC is dominating and everyone is enjoying how well balanced this team looks. Having so many returning players proves last years team was in rebuilding mode for a great run in the 2011/2012 season.
Keep up the hard work and play safe boys
Parents remember you are just spectators here so don't loose your cool and make a spectical out of yourself and your families. (remember the apple and the tree saying)
See you at the rink
Barzal not playing?
Semiamhoo and NSWC will be battling it out on one side to reach final. Give the edge to NSWC.
POE will have too much for Cloverdale again tonight and will get either Kamloops or BWC in morning semi.
Semi needed OT this time to take down OHA, who couldn't hold a 2 goal lead. With the extra resources of an acedemy program, look for OHA to be in the top 5 by years end.
Final 4 are as many predicted, based on the pooling - Semi, POE and the winterclubs. Some good games in store, no turkies!!!!
Can there be any question that North East Wolfpack is the best, and most dominant, team in the new Saskatchewan Bantam League this year after their outstanding start to the season?
Coming out of the tourney I would say the top four teams were the semifinalists but OHA and Cloverdale are the next two top teams based on the results. OHA and Semi had two terrific games that were extremely close and Cloverdale was rolling until they ran into a strong POE. After this group of six there appeared to be a distinct drop-off in talent as several of the remaining Clubs suffered blowouts at the hands of the top Clubs.
