Dec 28: Thunderwolves Sweep
There has been a fair bit of that this year.

Our former GPAC confreres have gotten themselves a sweep of this non-conference event. Frankly, anything less against the expansion Voyageurs would have been a disappointment. The 'Wolves are #20 and the Voyageurs #32 in the OHT36. These games will not affect those rankings much, if at all. There are three games on Sunday as business picks up in the festive season.

Goof U is on a 3-game trip through the AUS. They were well-beaten on the shot clock as the Jeremies racked up a tidy victory. With the SMUskies and Cajuns coming up in the next two days, things won't be getting any easier for the Goofies.

This was a surprisingly one-sided affair. Toronto was 9-5-2 in league and 11-8-2 overall, for #16 in the OHT36, heading into the game. Cartoon U was 9-5-1, 11-7-1, and #18 in the same categories. So this figured to be a very good game rather than the lop-sided affair it became. It was also a much-needed win for the OUA East over the OUA West. Let there be joy on the Rideau over the New Year!

Guelph Gryphons beat St Marys 3-2.
The Gryphons score 2 shorthanded with less than a minute to go for the win. Pretty evenly matched game really
SMU new recruit, Steven MacAulay, is an incredible addition to the team and instantly makes SMU a contender

Acadia did not dress the three players who were at FISU: Heelis, Cazzola and Owens. SMU dressed 3 of the 4 who were in Italy: Peters played goal, Tanaka and Bloodoff. D'Orazio is out with an injury. SMU did not play well; they showed no energy, missed some good scoring chances and were overall lousy. Guelph, on the other hand, played like a team with something to prove.

Is Steiny returning for the second half?
I never heard anyone on the boards mention that SMU picked up Steven MacAuley.
That's a solid addition to the Huskie lineup, as is Hynes for X and Halley for UNB.
Did Acadia,Alberta,Calgary or Saskatchewan add any players during the break?

Just doing a quick count of Acadia's roster...it looks like they have only used 21 skaters so far so they should have one spot they can fill.

He was behind the bench against Guelph, so he is back. I tweeted that MacAuley played. I expected 'Foyle to post. Guess I'm asking for too much.
He will certainly help SMU as will having a healthy Peters back in goal. But the SMU PP has been awful the 1st half.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ... with news from around the CIS
I was scouring my CIS-related bookmarks to see if there was any news of new recruits in the CW. There was none. But I did find some news, some old news, and some links for stories previously reported. I suspect that on Thursday we will get some preview stories about the resumption of action scheduled for Friday.
OUT OF TOWN SCOREBOARD
BENTLEY GENERALS 1
CALGARY DINOSAURS 6
Links:
:. [U of C Game Story]
This game was not on any schedules and I never saw any stories at all about it. Anyhow, the Generals have been a recent power in Senior AAA hockey, having won the Allan Cup in 2009 (over SE Prairie Thunder in Steinbach) and in 2013 (over Clarenville in Red Deer). They currently are first in the Chinook League with a 12-1 record. There was a time when univeristy teams, or grad teams, would play for the Allan Cup. The Bisons won it in 1928 and then went on to win the world championship.
There is no game summary. But the story says each goaltender from Bedrock U got a period and the shots were 45-26 in favour of the Dinos. It was 1-1 after one period and it seems the last two periods were all Dinos.
The story also says that the Dinos and the New-Kittens-on-the-Block will play a non-conference series on January 3rd and 4th.
NEWS UPDATES
Speaking of the Mount Royal Cougars, their site has a Season Update story. It is mostly stats and standings. But they do point out that Tyler Fiddler is eligible for the 2nd half after transferring from Bedrock U to MRU last year. He had 10 goals and 8 assists in 16 games last year before leaving the school. In 2012 he had no assists but did have 3 goals in 6 regular season games and 3 more in 8 playoff games.

Not really news from out east, but there were some more stories about the earlier non-conference games. The STU blogger pointed out what I did in my AUS mid-term report card about them getting blown out every 3rd game. And that SFX win over Guelph was dubbed the "Keating Cup", not just game 1 of the tour.
I also saw the summary of the game between Windsor and the Urban Cowboys. They did all that messing about with the schedule so they could play outdoors in Detroit before 1,000 people. Waste of time?
In an interesting tidbit, former Acadia coach Tom Coolen is taking care of the Latvian Olympic Team until Ted Nolan is ready to resume duties during the Olympic break.

Happy New Year!
The 2014 segment of the season is now upon us. Two series originally slated for this weekend were shifted to the bye week to allow the Monkeys to play NAIT and UBC to play NCAA teams in non-conference matchups. I would prefer to see all teams play at the same times, but so be it.
IMO the Bisons will have the inside track on 3rd place if they could even split this series. The 2013 segment ended with the first round of the second half, and the Bisons scored a split in Alberta whilst the Banjo Mutts swept the New-Kittens-on-the-Block. Next weekend the Bisons will host the NKOTB and the Mutts will travel to Edmontown. That should enable them to be tied, or even ahead of, the Mutts should they split this weekend series.
There are currently no previews or updates at either team's site. Presumably, the Mutts will start Ryan Holfield in goal (he has played every minute for them thus far). Joe Caligiuri seemed to get his form back before the break so I assume he will start game 1, at least. There is no word on either side making any mid-season recruits.
The Mutts are a bit of a disappointment so far. Usually when a team is awarded a 2-year stint as host of the U-Cup, they use the carrot to attract high quality recruits. Not to mention using it to encourage players to play out their eligibility. Instead, by their historical standards, the Mutts were barely average last year and below average this year.
When the teams faced each other in October, Ian Duval came off the injured list to score a hat-trick. However, the offensive woes resurfaced in game 2. The Bisons have since got their lines in synch. Now the question is the injuries to the defence corps. The win in Monkeyland was amazing because they were down to 5 healthy defencemen. By now the injuries should have resolved themselves.
Both games can be viewed or heard on-line at CanadaWest.tv. Instead of playing at the Rutherdump, this series will be played at the Credit Union Place, the host building for this year's University Cup tournament.

The Banjo Cats face a must-win situation in this series. If they want to stay in the race for 3rd place they need four points against the H0rny Ones, no questions asked. Despite their abysmal record, I suspect that Lethbridge will not be an easy mark this weekend. For one thing, both sides are playing their first games since the end of November and there is always uncertainty as to how teams will shake off the rust in such situations. For another, they are on home ice. My suspicion is that they will win a home game at some point in the home stretch. One night this weekend, they might do just that. When the teams played in Regina in week 2, Regina won 6-0 and 4-1. This series is also available on-line at CanadaWest.tv.

NAIT OOKS (12-3-1 ACAC)
This home-and-home is the Battle of Edmontown. The Monkeys are trying to set a record for non-conference ganmes in a single season, I guess. Not sure how much of a challenge the Ooks will pose. It seems that there are fewer ACAC exhbition games this year.
UBC THUNDERBIRDS (5-10-1, 7-12-1, OHT36 #26)
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA (11-7-2 NCAA)
PRINCETON TIGERS (5-14-0 NCAA)
The Tweety-Birds are playing in the Simon Fraser Clown's holiday event, dubbed The Great Northwest Classic. They play UND and Princeton. So it is not a tournament, but rather a pair of exhibition games for each side. Still no name for UND. How about the Fighting Farmers?

Rather than watch games on the internet I chose to go out and watch some live MMJHL action. So I followed alomg on LeagueStat's live updates.
The Banjo-Mutts built a 3-0 lead. In the 1st period they scored twice on 6 shots on Joe Caligiuri. Craig McCallum and Jesse Ross were the goalscorers.
Zak Stebner's PP goal almost mid-way through the 2nd period gave the Mutts what ought to have been an insurmountable lead. But the Bisons were just starting to pour it on. Jory Coates notched his 3rd goal of the season in a period where the Bisons threw 17 shots at Ryan Holfeld.
The Herd also controlled the 3rd period, with a 12-8 edge in shots. They scored 3 goals in 3 ½ minutes from 11-14 minutes in, two from Aaron Lewadniuk (his 7th and 8th) with one by Jesse Paradis (his 6th) sandwiched in between.
However, with just over 2 minutes left Matthew Spafford tied the game to force overtime. Both the 4-on-4 session and the 3-on-3 session settled nothing. In the shootout the Bisons were blanked and the Mutts scored once.
The Bison line-up sported one new addition, right winger Jon Gaudet. He formerly played for Brandon in the WHL and the Blues, Saints, Oil Caps, and Kings of the MJHL. Last season he scored 37 goals in 61 games, and another 7 goals in 19 playoff games for the Dauphin KIngs.
In other roster notes, Dane Crowley was back in the line-up, but Jeremy Schappert and Darren Bestland remain out of the line-up. The scratched forwards were Luke Cain and Justin Dalebozik,
The result makes Sask 9-7-1 and Manitoba 7-8-2. Game 2 goes Satutrday at 2:00 p.m. and can be seen on-line at CanadaWest.tv. A win there would put Manitoba on the inside track to a 3rd place finish.

The Tweety-Birds beat the North Dakota Fighting Farmers in an overtime thriller. Too bad for UBC that this wasn't a league game, where they desperately need all the points they can get if they want to rally for a playoff berth. There is no summary posted as yet but the shots were 28-25 for UND. Joe Antilla (The Hun) scored the tieing goal in the final minute then set up Jason Yee for the winner. Matt Hewitt got the W in goal.

This was a very evenly matched matinee performance played in cavernous emptiness. The Mutts want to get in some games at Credit Union Place since that is the venue for the UNiversity Cup. Evidently, they did not do much in the way of promotion for this. They usually jam the Rutherdump full of hillbillies for their home games, and the Huskies have been know to sell a football ticket or two. I know it is the end of holidays and students are not yet back. But this was not a good sign.
Turning to the game, the Bisons lament will be their power play. Not that they went 1-for-6, after all the Mutts went 0-for-6. It is the fact that they gave up two short-handed goals in the 2nd period to turn a 2-1 lead into a 3-2 deficit.
The Mutts will no doubt enjoy the two points. They now have a 5 point lead on the Bisons and the inside track on 3rd place.
Taylor Dickin opened scoring on the PP (his 6th of the season) to give the Bisons a 1-0 lead at the 1st intermission. Josh the Roach tied it with the Mutts' 1st short-handed goal. Jon Gaudet's 1st as a Bison restored the lead. Andrew Bailey thens cored twice for the Mutts to give them a 3-2 lead which held through the 3rd period. Joe Caligiuri and Ryan Holfeld once again went the distance in goal.
Next weekend the Bisons host Mount Royal whilst the Mutts visit the Evil Monkeys.

The H0rny Ones have racked up a 2nd victory. They are a hard-working team, so most people will be happy to see them be rewarded with a win. Of course, Regina must feel the disappointment. They now fall to 9-9-0. Even though they have an edge over Manitoba in points, the fact that they lost 2 points in Lethbridge is due to come back and haunt them. The BAnjo-Cats now sit 3 points behind Sask and 2 points ahead of Manitoba. I think if they want to hold onto 4th they are going to need some wins against the A teams.

Steven Stanford and Mark Hewitt shared the shut-out in the UBC goal, and Nat Fleming scored the only goal of the game to lead UBC to the sweep of their NCAA opponents. With a sweep by a 7th place team, it may well be 30-40 years before an NCAA team ventures into Western Canada for another game.
A win by UBC is a rare treat, but still to see them beat some Ivy Leaguers should be no big shock. Thurston Howell III may have played for the Tiggers at one time. But for The Clown to come within a goal of UND is a big shocker. In fact, The Clown scored in the 3rd period to take a 2-1 lead. Had UND lost they may have had heart attacks.
I am sure UBC would trade those two wins for a pair of wins in Regina next weekend. At 5-10-1, and having already played Lethbridge in the 2nd half, UBC has a very tough road ahead of them if they want to catch up to either set of Cougars.

Finally, the Bisons have a home game! It has been a long time coming. The odd thing is that their remaining home series are against both sets of Cougars and UBC. Winning these series will likely result in a 4th place finish and a home playoff series against the 5th place team.
The Bisons opened the new year last weekend in Saskatown. The games were very close, but in the end all they got was one point from a shoot-out loss. MRU had a bit of a surprising first half, and last weekend split a non-conference series against Bedrock U. It is hard to gauge how serious that series was. However, it could be a sign that the New-Kittens-on-the-Block will remain a serious threat to the CW mid-powers. They did split series against the Bisons, Sask, UBC, and Regina in the first half. However, they were swept aside by Sask. to start the second half.
MRU is a big team and seem to be able to have at least one good game each weekend. IMO, their objective would be to continue splitting series with the mid-powers.
I noticed that the Bisons were still missing Schappert and Bestland on the blueline last weekend. I am also wondering if Caligiuri will remain the starter in both games this weekend.

This is the theoretical mis-match of the weekend. First v Worst. But the H0rny Ones found their Viagra supply last weekend when they managed a split against the pesky Banjo-Cats. Have they reached their monthly quota of wins?
Lethbridge is basically last in every stat. Bedrock U is either first or second in every stat. Only the Evil Monkeys will be watching the out-of-town scoreboard for this series, in the vain hope that maybe Bedrock U will get less than 4 points.

This is an interesting match-up. UBC had a disappointing first half, sitting in 7th place and looking like a team with only a faint hope of catching up to MRU for the final playoff berth. In the pre-season, they were ranked ahead of the Banjo-Cats. The first series between these two produced a 5-4 win for UBC and a 1-0 win for Regina. Those betting on a sweep in this rematch probably have a fairly safe bet.
However, UBC needs more than splits against the mid-ranked teams in this conference if they want to avoid the embarassment of early elimination. They did manage a surprise sweep of two NCAA teams last weekend in non-conference play. That performance won't mean a thing if they lose this series.
The linked U of R story is about a new recruit from the SJHL.

The Evil Monkeys need to gain 3 points on Bedrock U and this series will provide a rare opportunity for them. It is possible that Sask could beat Calgary so a Monkey sweep here would potentially cause them to gain ground. Of course, by losing to the Bisons in their last conference action, they have put themselves in a very tight spot right now. IMO the 4-1 sweep of the Bisons gives the Mutts the inside track on 3rd place regardless of the results of this series.

Finally, the Bisons have a home game! It has been a long time coming. The odd thing is that their remaining home series are against both sets of Cougars and UBC. Winning these series will likely result in a 4th place finish and a home playoff series against the 5th place team.
The Bisons opened the new year last weekend in Saskatown. The games were very close, but in the end all they got was one point from a shoot-out loss. MRU had a bit of a surprising first half, and last weekend split a non-conference series against Bedrock U. It is hard to gauge how serious that series was. However, it could be a sign that the New-Kittens-on-the-Block will remain a serious threat to the CW mid-powers. They did split series against the Bisons, Sask, UBC, and Regina in the first half. However, they were swept aside by Sask. to start the second half.
MRU is a big team and seem to be able to have at least one good game each weekend. IMO, their objective would be to continue splitting series with the mid-powers.
I noticed that the Bisons were still missing Schappert and Bestland on the blueline last weekend. I am also wondering if Caligiuri will remain the starter in both games this weekend.

This is the theoretical mis-match of the weekend. First v Worst. But the H0rny Ones found their Viagra supply last weekend when they managed a split against the pesky Banjo-Cats. Have they reached their monthly quota of wins?
Lethbridge is basically last in every stat. Bedrock U is either first or second in every stat. Only the Evil Monkeys will be watching the out-of-town scoreboard for this series, in the vain hope that maybe Bedrock U will get less than 4 points.

This is an interesting match-up. UBC had a disappointing first half, sitting in 7th place and looking like a team with only a faint hope of catching up to MRU for the final playoff berth. In the pre-season, they were ranked ahead of the Banjo-Cats. The first series between these two produced a 5-4 win for UBC and a 1-0 win for Regina. Those betting on a sweep in this rematch probably have a fairly safe bet.
However, UBC needs more than splits against the mid-ranked teams in this conference if they want to avoid the embarassment of early elimination. They did manage a surprise sweep of two NCAA teams last weekend in non-conference play. That performance won't mean a thing if they lose this series.

The Evil Monkeys need to gain 3 points on Bedrock U and this series will provide a rare opportunity for them. It is possible that Sask could beat Calgary so a Monkey sweep here would potentially cause them to gain ground. Of course, by losing to the Bisons in their last conference action, they have put themselves in a very tight spot right now. IMO the 4-1 sweep of the Bisons gives the Mutts the inside track on 3rd place regardless of the results of this series.

Jan 10: Big 3rd Period Paces Bisons to Win

The Bisons' first home game of 2014 was a hard-earned victory. The game was tied at 2-2 after two periods, and MRU was well into the game at that point. However, 3 unanswered 3rd period goals resulted in a comfortable win.
It was also a chance to see the home debut of two new players - forward Jon Gaudet and defenceman Kyle Rous. Rous was the captain of the MJHL champion Steinbach Pistons last year and was playing with the Fayetville FireAntz of the SPHL earlier this season.
Here's how they lined up:
Manitoba
Goal:
1 Caligiuri (34 Dubyk)
Defence:
5 Christensen - 2 Crowley
3 Landry - 24 Bobbee
28 Rous - 6 Paulsen
Forwards:
16 Paradis - 19 Duval - 20 Lewadniuk
8 Coates - 10 Rowinski - 27 DePape
29 Cain - 25 Ciarelli - 18 Kelly
17 Lauder - 15 Scott - 26 Gaudet
Scratches:
4 Schappert - 12 Sutherland
21 Dickin - 22 Bestland
35 Rewucki
Mount Royal
Goal:
35 Flette (30 Moore)
Defence:
26 Beech - 4 Hrynyk
6 McKay - 3 Renaud
24 Marshall - 20 Tresierra
Forwards:
27 Cartier - 22 Brown - 9 Gannon
18 Kirsch - 23 Fiddler - 16 Galbraith
14 Burns - 8 Turnbull - 28 Knopp
12 Eskesen - 25 Jewitt - 19 Huisman
Scratches:
1 Lanigan - 5 Scott
11 Zarazun - 13 Brown
15 Chagnon - 17 Barrett
21 Strong
That list of Bison scratches is perhaps the hiughest quality list of scratches they have ever had. It contains arguably 3 of their top 5 defencemen and their #6 scorer (6-6-12 in 18 games so far).
The Bisons had the only goal in the 1st period. Leading scorer Aaron Lewadniuk converted an astounding pass from Ian Duval. The Bisons had controlled the 5-on-5 play and it was only when shorthanded that MRU was able to turn the tables.
The New-Kittens-on-the-Block turned the tables in the 2nd period, outscoring the Bisons 2-1 and out-shooting them 13-8. Cody Cartier tied it for MRU when the Bisons failed to backcheck after a scoring chance. Jordan DePape restored the Bison lead by banking one off the hip of MRU d-man Curtis Beech. One less piece of pie over Christmas and that shot was stopped. MRU once again tied it up when Justin Kirsch converted a mad scramble.
The Bison powerplay notched a pair of goals in the first 8 minutes of the 3rd period to put things away. Ian Duval scored on a nifty wrap-around after 4 minutes. Luke Paulsen pinched in from the point and slammed home a one-timer after 7 minutes. At 13 minutes the Bisons went down 2 men for a full 2 minutes. Once they killed that they basically had the game in the bag. An empty netter by DePape put a bow on it.
The Bisons improve to 8-9-2 and MRU falls to 6-10-1. Saturday's rematch goes at 1:00 p.m.
Lewadniuk opens the scoring.

Each of these sides has experienced a loss to Lethbridge, so truly they could never take anybody lightly.
The Tweety-Birds got off to a 3-1 lead because they tot they taw a puddy-tat, then got a little old lady to pound the Banjo-Cats with an umbrella. They were then able to hang for the win.
These teams usually rotate goaltenders and Friday it was Spafford v Hayes. Regina is now 9-10-0 and UBC is 6-10-1. Saturday's remtch can be seen on CanadaWest.tv at 7:00 CST.

Lethbridge's one game winning streak is over. I have never before seen such a one-sided scoreline in a CW game. In the 1st period Bedrock held a 15-2 lead in shots on goal and a 5-0 lead on the scoreboard. The H0rny Ones rallied a bit in the 2nd, bein outshot 15-12 and outscored 4-2. Gruesome, indeed.
The scene shifts from Bedrock to Lethbridge for Saturday's return match.

I do not care for matinee hockey, and neither do the vast majority of fans. This Saturday afternoon encounter had the sparsest crowd I have ever seen at a Bison hockey game, and most fans there arrived after the 1st period already started.
In any event, the Bisons had a fairly soldi game. And I must say that Mount Royal is a pretty decent side. They are solid playoff contenders, and it will likely come down to either them or UBC getting that lost playoff spot.
Each side made one line-up switch from Friday night, and here's how they lined up:
Manitoba
Goal:
1 Caligiuri (34 Dubyk)
Defence:
5 Christensen/28 Rous - 2 Crowley

Mount Royal
Goal:
35 Flette (30 Moore)
Defence:
24 Marshall - 20 Tresierra
26 Beech - 4 Hrynyk
6 McKay - 11 Zarazun

27 Cartier - 22 Brown - 9 Gannon
18 Kirsch - 23 Fiddler - 16 Galbraith
12 Eskesen - 25 Jewitt - 19 Huisman
14 Burns - 8 Turnbull - 28 Knopp
Scratches:
1 Lanigan - 3 Renaud
5 Scott - 13 Brown
15 Chagnon - 17 Barrett
21 Strong
With Sutherland in for Lauder, the Bisons had 7 defence and 11 forwards. Christensen and Rous usually played with Crowley but there was much shuffling of the pairs. Up front, Gaudet played a lot with Cain and Ciarelli in the 3rd period.
Although the Bisons had only 4 shots on goal in the 1st period, the play was fairly even. The Bisons had exceptionally inaccurate shooting. There was stretch of less than 30 seconds where no fewer than 4 shots hit the glass. The only goal was scored by Craig Scott after a mad scramble where two prior shots were stopped in the crease by a Cougar defenceman pretending to be a goaltender.
MRU evened the score right off the bat in the 2nd period when Mark Fiddler scored his first goal as a Cougar. He is just now eligible to play for them after transferring from the U of C to MRU.
With the score 1-1 it was time for a powerplay and the always entertaining Ian Duval show. First he came in on the left wing, made some deft moves, then held off his pass to Aaron Lewadniuk just long enough to leave him with a gift-wrapped scoring chance. Lewadniuk cashed in for the 10th time this season, and the Herd was ahead to stay.
Then it was time for a Cougar PP. Duval jumped on a loose puck and scooted downthe right wing. The defenceman thought he had successfully defended a drive to the net, but Duval circled the net and slam-dunked the wrap-around into the net. Jesse Paradis converted another nice passing play and Fiddler notched his second on a textbook display of stickhandling so that at mid-period it was 4-2 for the Bisons.
Last year these teams had a crazy game and I feared a repeat. Instead, things calmed down a lot. Devin Gannon had a 3rd period goal for MRU and then Luke Cain scored into an empty net to finish the scoring.
The Bisons are now at .500 for the first time this season, at 9-9-2. MRU falls to 6-11-1. Both sides hit the road next weekend. The Bisons are off to Bedrock to face the Dinos, and Regina is ready for a Cougar fight. After a bye week, the Bisons will return home to face Regina on January 31 and February 1.

This was a painful loss for the Banjo-Cats. After losing in regulation on Friday night they needed to hang on to their 3-1 3rd period lead in this one. Instead, UBC rallied with two goals to tie the game before winning the shoot-out. These teams usually manage a split, so the sweep is a big deal for UBC.
Regina falls to 9-10-1 and 5th place. UBC is now 7-10-1 and has leap-frogged MRU into 6th place. Next weekend Regina will host the Battle of the Cougars and UBC will host the Evil Monkeys.

The Banjo-Mutts had a strong outing but in the end a pair of one-goal losses adds up to exactly zero points on the weekend. The Monkeys built a 4-1 lead and seemed to have the game well in hand. But the Mutts scored late in the 2nd and early in the 3rd to make it a 4-3 game. They outshot the Monkeys 10-5 in the 3rd period, but could not level the scores.
Sask is now 10-9-1, good for 3rd place, one point ahead of Manitoba and two ahead of Regina. The Monkeys are 16-2-0, yet are only a 2nd place team. Both sides are off on the road next weekend, Sask visiting Lethbridge and Alberta off to British California.

Different teams on different days. Friday in Bedrock, the Dinos win 14-2. 24 hours later they need overtime to fend off the same H0rny Ones. Lethbridge relied heavily upon goaltender Alex Sirard. Through two periods the shots were 41-15, yet the score was 0-0. The 3rd period was much the same. The shots would up being 21-9, yet Bedrock U did not score until Chris Collins connected over 11 minutes into the period. But then David McMullen tied it for the H0rny Ones less than 4 minutes later. Fortunately for Bedrock, it took barely a minute for Kevin King to put away a win for the Dinos.
Now riding a 17-0-1 record, the Dinos will host the Bisons next week. Lethnridge 2-16-2, but can at least say they have points in consecutive weekends.

This was a painful loss for the Banjo-Cats. After losing in regulation on Friday night they needed to hang on to their 3-1 3rd period lead in this one. Instead, UBC rallied with two goals to tie the game before winning the shoot-out. These teams usually manage a split, so the sweep is a big deal for UBC.
Regina falls to 9-10-1 and 5th place. UBC is now 7-10-1 and has leap-frogged MRU into 6th place. Next weekend Regina will host the Battle of the Cougars and UBC will host the Evil Monkeys.

News Update
There have been some new stories posted at some CIS news sites that have been relatievly silent in the first half of the season.
SportsnetU had in-depth football coverage and have now turned their attention to hockey and basketball. They now have the broadcast rights to the nationals so it is in their interests to boost their coverage. Hopefully they will have at least weekly stories. The linked story reviews the official top ten hockey teams.
The CIS Blog has a mid-season report on the OUA and a first week of the new year story on the Capital Region. They are going to feature an OUA match-up each week. The unique aspect of the OUA this year is that the West has dominated the East, however the top half of the East is doing very well.
