Greetings from the WHL

A Welcome from the President

Welcome back to another exciting year of Kootenay ICE Hockey. The start of every hockey season always brings optimism and hope and the 2014-2015 campaign will be no different. Despite the turnover and cyclical nature of Major Junior Hockey our organization expects to make the playoffs every year.

Thanks in part to the quality scouting and coaching we have made the playoffs all 16 years we have been in Cranbrook, while finishing with a .500 or better record for a WHL record 15 consecutive seasons (both are the longest active streaks in the WHL).

Our organization has been very fortunate since moving to Cranbrook to enjoy an unparalleled amount of on ice success. With the core group of our players in the 19 and 20-year-old age groups, we expect them along with our new prospects to once again battle for contention in the very competitive Eastern Conference.

Our fans have come to expect a team that is hard working on the ice and ambassadors for Cranbrook and the entire East Kootenay region off the ice.

On behalf of the entire organization, welcome back and I hope you enjoy the game.

Jeff Chynoweth, President & Governor

A Welcome from the President

TONIGHT’S OPPONENTLAST OUTING: The Saskatoon Blades complete a three-game Central Division road swing tonight in Cranbrook on the heels of a 5-3 setback last night at Lethbridge. The Hurricanes jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but it was Giorgio Estephan’s goal six minutes from the end of regulation time that proved decisive as Lethbridge collected two points. Forward Mason McCarty scored twice for the Blades while Nick Zajac chipped in with a goal as well. Captain Brett Stovin added two helpers for Saskatoon. Nik Amundrud stopped 24 shots in goal last night for the Blades. Lethbridge netminder Stuart Skinner made 32 saves to collect the victory for the home side.

LAST MEETING: Tonight marks the fourth and final meeting of the 2014-15 season between the Blades and Kootenay ICE, with Saska-toon having won each of the three prior engagements. The two teams last faced each other January 17 in Saskatoon with Wyatt Slo-boshan scoring the deciding goal with 11 seconds left in the game as the Blades posted a 3-2 victory. ICE captain Sam Reinhart became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer with a goal late in the third period, while first-year forward River Beattie also scored for Kootenay. Josh Uhrich and Nolan Reid tallied for Saskatoon with rookie netminder Brock Hamm stopping 26 shots to earn the victory in goal for the Blades.
