Rankings

The November 28, 2012 newsletter is now ready.  In this edition of the newsletter, we update the Top 200 for 98's, Top 130 for 99's.  As well, stats have been updated for all players in the 98 and 99 age group with the exception of some PCAHA teams.  Updated heights and weights are updated as well for most teams in western Canada and the US.    The Top 40 western American players are updated.  There has been some change up near the top of the lists and new players have been added and deleted after the Medicine Hat Hockey Hounds Tournament, Calgary NWCAA Flames Tournament, Swift Current AA Tournament and the Tim Jardine Tournament as well.

Interviews

In the interview section, we have a chance to interview one of the two players playing Midget AAA hockey this year in the bantam age group.  The player is averaging a point per game and looks to be a 1st round caliber prospect.

Also, we interview a forward coming off a tremendous Medicine Hat Hockey Hounds tournament to which he was named to the All-Star team.

We speak with one of the top goalies from the Hockey Hounds Tournament.  He is having a fantastic season and has shot up the rankings at a rapid pace this year.

Interviewed is a defenseman who is flying under the radar but has all the tools to be a pretty high selection in the 2013 bantam draft.  He also had a great Medicine Hat Hockey Hounds Tournament.

Finally, we interview a player who was tremendous in the Regina AA Tournament and combines size and grit and was named to the Regina AA All-Star team.

Team Rankings

The top 20 team rankings make its Third appearance in the newsletter since all leagues are now under way.  The team rankings are formatted in a newer style and is updated once again.  We also list who their next games are against.

Sunday - Late

* Tyler Benson with another 6 points this evening in a 6-2 SSAC victory.  Benson, who now has 35-45-80 in just 16 games is on pace for 165 points this season.  The league record is held by Ty Rattie who put up 75-56-131 in 33 games.  Benson's 92 assist pace would smash the record.

*Kale Clague also had a huge game with 4 goals and an assist today.  Clague is also on track to smash the league record for points by a defenseman.  Clague currently has 16-25-41 in 16 games.  A pace of 85 points for Clague currently.

We fully expect Clague and Benson to go first and second in the draft.  It will depend on team need as to who goes first overall in May.  Should be a fun ride!

Swift Current Kabos Raiders AA Tournament
Congratulations to the Okotoks Oilers on winning the Swift Current Bantam AA Tournament this weekend.  They took a 4-3 lead in to the final seconds of the 3rd period but '99 born Jaret Anderson-Dolan would score with just .7 seconds to play to force OT.  In OT, Dylan Prpich would score the tournament winning goal early.

The "A" consolation game would also see OT as the host team Kabos Raiders won it on a goal from Kole Lind.  Lind was outstanding in the tournament for Swift Current and could go fairly high in the bantam draft in May.  Swift Current held a 38-20 shot advantage over the Pat Blues.

Dallas Saunders Memorial Tournament

Dallas Saunders Memorial Tournament
The Kelowna Jr. Rockets will meet the Langley Eagles in the tournament final this afternoon.  The Jr. Rockets were able to sneak by the Abbotsford Hawks 3-2.  The Jr. Rockets were very stingy throughout the tournament, keeping things tight checking and very simple.  The Langley Eagles on the other hand will bring a more up tempo, offensive style. Kelowna will have to watch for Malm and Gingras today along with Cholowski and his offensive ability from the backend.  It should be a good final this afternoon and congratulations to both teams.

Tuesday Night Bantam Action

Patrick is expected to be a high pick in the Bantam Draft

A light night in bantam hockey on Tuesday night saw the Winnipeg Hawks defeat the Winnipeg Warriors 10-1.  This game marked the return of top 10 ranked forward Nolan Patrick from a long term injury which saw him just appear in one game this season.  Patrick didn't disappoint, scoring on his first shift and having a 4 goal, 2 assist night in the win....A pair of games in the PCAHA saw the Semiahmoo Ravens defeat the Langley Eagles 5-3.  Both teams were at the Medicine Hat Hockey Hounds Tournament with Semiahmoo being up and down and Langley really stuggling.  The Eagles were up 3-0 after the 2nd period but allowed 5 straight goals in the 3rd period as the captain Ty Westgard picked up 3 goals and 2 assists.  One of the top forwards on Langley - Jesse Lansdell remains out day to day with the famous "upper body injury"......Abbotsford skated past Burnaby Minor 5-0 last night.  Ben Brar scored twice in the victory for the Hawks.  They will now host the Dallas Saunders Memorial Tournament this weekend, opening up against the Nanaimo Clippers tomorrow morning......In the AMBHL, Edmonton CAC upset Edmonton MLAC 4-1.  Smallish, high scoring '99 born forward Trey Fix-Wolansky paced the attack with 2 goals in the win.  Captain Nolan Volcan had the lone goal for MLAC.....
