POE has been a supporter of the WEHP blog/newsletter over the past year since its inception and we would like to put a bit of focus this weekend on the POE Spring tournament taking place this weekend. It is a smallish tournament with 8 teams taking part. Some very good talent on a few of the teams as well who will be high picks for the 2012 WHL bantam draft which is almost a full year away.
An early battle of two of the better teams at the tournament saw the NAA Rebels who feature perhaps the first defenseman who will be taken next year in Aaron Kellogg defeated the Vancouver Giants 97's 7-4. The Giants team has a number of what should be top 2 round picks next year with Justin Szeto, Eric Lee, Ty Schultz and Glenn Gawdin. Justin Szeto led the way for the Giants with 2-1-3 in the loss. For the NAA Rebels, it was Brendan Guhle and Anthony Sirianni with 2 goals each and Aaron Kellogg figured in with 1-1-2, Reid Bosse and Curtis Miske each had 3 helpers. In another game of note, it was the Red Stars HC with a convincing 8-3 win over the BC Storm. Liam Finlay from Kelowna led the way with 5 points (1-4-5), Brandon Whistle 2-2-4, Austin Wellsby 1-2-3. Finally it was the Island Stars winning 8-0 over the Calgary Cowboys. Haydn Hopkins from Victoria had 1-2-3 to lead the way.
Action continues this morning. We'll have more this afternoon.
Also don't forget about the biggest tournament for 97's and 98's all summer taking place in Vancouver next weekend at various locations in the greater Vancouver area.
