Now on to some of the league action that took place over the weekend across the various leagues. The BWC Bruins played a pair of weekend games, first taking on the NSWC and it was a nail biter. The BWC would prevail 4-3, outshooting the NSWC 25-15. Harper and Pasco each had a goal and an assist in the victory, Delgrosso scored, tipping home a Lucas Mercer slap shot to round out the scoring. 1997 born prospect Jansen Harkins scored 2 goals for NSWC to lead the way.
Then yesterday, the BWC walked all over Hollyburn 11-0, outshooting them 37-5! Sydney Harper had 2 goals and his linemates Cam/Chris seto each scored as well. Connor Pasco had 3 assists in the game. BWC plays Cloverdale on Wednesday night.

A couple highlights now from the weekend that was in the AMBHL. The Calgary Bisons continued their winning ways upping their record to 16-3-1 with a 10-2 win over Medicine Hat on Sunday. Brayden Point had 5 assists and defenseman Brycen Martin had 4 assists. The goalscorers were Ben Assad (3), Tanner MacMaster (2), Alex Mowbray (2) and Landon Welykolowa (2). Point and MacMaster are in a battle for the league scoring race with just a 1 point lead for MacMaster at 65-64. Both players are on track for over 100 points, something that hasn't been done too often in the AMBHL.
The Okotoks Oilers played their first game without star forward Conner Bleackley. If you remember, Bleackley took a slash on the wrist and will be out for about 6-7 more weeks. So without Bleackley, the Oilers beat the Calgary Bronks 1-0. Brodie Wilson scored the only goal for Okotoks, his 2nd of the season. Michael Conrad turned aside all 30 shots he faced for the shutout.
Lloydminster went up to Leduc on Sunday and walked away with an impressive 5-2 victory. Bryce Woodward scored Lloydminster's last 4 goals giving him 16 goals in 20 games this season and 28 points. Clayton Almberg had 3 assists and Tyler Busch had a goal and 2 assists, giving him a team leading 32 points. Lloydminster is now 11-7-2 and have averaged over 4 goals per game this season. The future is bright too for Lloyd with Andrew Koep putting up over a point per game as a 97 born and how about 98 born defenceman Kale Clague with 5-11-16 and 60 Pims!! How good is this kid going to be for the 2013 WHL bantam draft which is over 2 years away for him yet!
In Airdrie, the Xtreme's winning ways came to a hault with a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Red Deer White. Mik Doell led the way for Red Deer with his 11th and 12th goals of the season. Tyler Wong scored both goals for Airdrie, giving him 24 on the season.
Spruce Grove beat the host Grand Prairie 6-1 over the weekend. Thomas Foster continued his impressive play with 3 goals and 1 assist. Foster is one of the fastest risers for the bantam draft this season. Foster now has 22 goals and 35 points in 21 games for the Saints. Ryan Helt and Jason Miller each had 1-1-2 in the game. Miller has 30 points and Helt has 24 this season. On Saturday, Spruce Grove shutout Grand Prairie 4-0. Gage Joel and Matt McNeil each had 1-1-2 in the victory. Matthew Meek-White played both games over the weekend and had a shutout in this one turning aside all 23 shots. Meek-White stopped 39 of 40 shots over the weekend. J.T. Barlett, the other goalie for Spruce Grove wasn't available so AP player Dylan Wolodko was the backup. By the way, Meek-White hasn't lost a league game this season at 7-0-2.

In Saskatchewan, the league play was very light as 24 of the teams were taking part in the Prince Albert tournament. Only a handful of teams didn't attend the tournament. However, Swift Current was in action against the Regina Oilers in SSBHL action down in Swift Current. Swift Current skated away with a 4-1 victory. Tim Vanstone led the way for Swift Current with 2 goals and 1 assist. All heck broke loose late in the game after a cross checking major by Regina Oilers Matthew Moore late in the 3rd period. Tim Vanstone now has 27 points in 10 games, 1 point back of the league lead.
If anyone was wondering how top ranked Braden Oleksyn is doing you can check out the next issue of the newsletter but he is really starting to grow accustomed to play in midget hockey. With the Beardy's Blackhawks of the SMAAAHL, Oleksyn has played in 29 games for Beardy's and has a very impressive 13-13-26 points. However as of late, he is one of the hottest players in Saskatchewan Midget hockey with points in his last 6 games scoring 5-6-11 points. If you think this is all due to 1st overall selection Alex Forsberg....think again, Forsberg has been hurt since October 28th and Oleksyn is picking up the slack!

Over in Manitoba now, is there any team hotter than the Winnipeg Hawks? The Hawks are now 13-0-1-1 in league play after 7-5 and 9-0 wins over the Winnipeg Warriors and Interlake respectively. The Hawks are averaging just over 7 goals per game. Adam Brooks scored 3 goals and 1 assist against the warriors and then 2 goals and 1 assist against Interlake. Brooks is simply running away with the scoring race with 46 points now in 15 games, that is 16 more than the 2nd place player. His 29 goals are now 14 more than team-mate Adam Wowryk.
Taylor Fisher continues to lead all defenseman in scoring with 7-17-24 in 16 games this season.
Lastly, for those of you who got the last newsletter, there was a profile on the other bantam aged player playing Midget hockey this season. Jordan Thomson is playing with the Southwest Cougars in the Manitoba Midget League. The 5'10 160lb Thomson is holding his own as a 14 year old on defence with 0-12-12 in 27 games to go along with 26 pims. Thomson is expected to go in the first round of the WHL bantam draft in May.

Anyone know What the goalies GAA. in the PA Tourny where...
Sorry, I would have to go through all the game sheets and figure it out. If I can find some time, I will do it in the next day or so, we'll see.
Adam Brooks B1 Wpg Hawks (forward) played up with the Midget Wpg Hawks and scored a short handed goal to tie 3-3 then won it for them in the shoot out. Ryley Lindgren B1 Wpg Sharks(forward) and Reid Zalitach B1 Wpg Sharks(defence) played up for the Midget Wpg Sharks, Lindgren scored the 3rd goal for the Sharks and Zalitach went even for the game. Second game up for the Sharks duo. They are logging a lot of ice time playing up and are plus 5 for their 2 games with the Midget Wpg Sharks. Brooks B1 Wpg Hawks was plus 2 for his first game up.
If you have some time can you also put the top 20 point leaders in PA. If you can't don't worry. Thanks
