I don't know if the Regina event this weekend can be called a "tournament", but who cares? Seven of the eight teams in the CW are converging on the Capitol of Banjoland for 10 hockey games. Lethbridge will play twice, Mount Royal won't be there, and the rest will play 3 games. A drive out there is tempting. Just remember Regina's town slogan: "Regina, it rhymes with FUN!"
The Canine Hillbillies defeated the Feline Hillbillies, and all we have is the score. The links might lead to links with more information in due time. Regina is now 1-4-0 and this was Sask's first game.

For now, the only information on this comes from Regina's Twitter. The Bisons crush the Banjo-Cats in football and open with a hockey win over the Banjo-Mutts, all in one night! Too bad Regina is not yet linked in to LeagueStat, like MRU and UBC are.
Manitoba is 1-0-0 and Sask falls to 1-0-1 in the pre-season standings. No word on the Bison line-up, either.

From various Tweets, it seems UBC scored in the 1st, the Apes tied it in the 2nd, then UBC grabbed a lead in the 3rd. The Monkeys pulled their goalie, and the Birds scored twice. The Apes improved the scoreline with a late goal by Levko Koper.
Saudi Alberta is now 0-2-0 (shocking!) and UBC is 2-0-0. The Monkeys normally dominate their opponents in pre-season the way they do in regular season. It is only two games, but is this a sign of things to come in Edmontown?

Indeed those two tilts were the openers in the OUA. Here are the recaps for both:

http://www.mcgillathletics.ca/news/2014/9/13/MHOCKEY_0913141841.aspx
It should be noted that the Rams-Mustangs game featured the debut of a new rule in the OUA - 5 minutes of 4 on 4 OT, followed by 5 minutes of 3 on 3, and only then, the shootout.
Obviously, this rule has been the subject of much talk recently at the pro ranks, and we know the AHL is doing something similar this year. Are the other CIS conferences implementing this rule as well during the regular season?

After two straight surprising losses, the Monkeys bounced back with two wins to even their record at 2-2-0. This was the Bisons' first loss as they fall to 2-1-0. I always say I like my teams to go about .500 in pre-season, unless they are playing weak opposition. You don't want to burn your best games too early, and you also don't want to look like you've slipped a notch. There is still nothing at GoBisons.ca about the Bison line-up for the weekend.

Recruitment Update
The Bison site is tardy in providing a training camp roster, and unfortunately they are not unique in that regard amongst CW teams. Also, no line-ups were posted for last weekend's exhibition games in Regina. So even LeagueStat has only partial information, consisting of the line-ups used by MRU and UBC in earlier exhibition games.
So rather than wait for an announcement about newer recruits still not mentioned at GoBisons.ca, here's the skinny on Reid Gow, along with a summary of the others.
Reid Gow - D - Spokane (WHL)
- The Spokane Chiefs were disappointed to hear that their captain was declining to come back for his "overage" year. So, the Bisons have landed yet another player with an extra letter on his jersey. Gow was almost a point-per-game defenceman last year, finisihing as the 5th leading scorer amongst WHL blueliners.

- The Spokane Chiefs were disappointed to hear that their captain was declining to come back for his "overage" year. So, the Bisons have landed yet another player with an extra letter on his jersey. Gow was almost a point-per-game defenceman last year, finisihing as the 5th leading scorer amongst WHL blueliners.

:. Brett Dudar: [IHDB] : [Elite Prospects]
The Herd have claimed victory in the opening game of their tour to The Big Lemon. The bonus news is that the U of T uploaded the live stats to LeagueStat. Therefore, this tells us what the Bison training camp roster looks like:
Returning forwards:
Jory Coates
Brendan Rowinski
Jesse Paradis
Dylan Kelly
Aaron Lewadniuk
Taylor Dickin
Jordan DePape
New forwards:
Chad Robinson
Warren Callis
Brett Dudar
Joel Schreyer
Justin Augert
Shaq Merasty
Colin Mospanchuk
Returning defencemen:
Lee Christensen
Luke Paulsen
Brock Sutherland
Darren Bestland
Kyle Rous
New defencemen:
Channing Bresciani
Josh Elmes
Reid Gow
Rene Hunter
Returning goaltender:
Deven Dubyk
New goaltenders:
Byron Spriggs
Brendan Jensen
Departed or scratched forwards:
Craig Scott
Austin Lauder
Ian Duval
Paul Ciarelli
Jon Gaudet
Luke Cain
Justin Delabozik
Departed or scratched defencemen:
Dane Crowley
Pierre Landry
Jeremy Schappert
Travis Bobbee
Departed or scratched goaltenders:
Joe Caligiuri
Joey Rewucki
The departed or scratched forwards not previously announced as such are Scott, Lauder, Ciarelli, and Gaudet. Scott (4 goals) played 4th line and was showing progress, Lauder (0 goals) has been in-and-out of the lineup, and Gaudet (1 goal) was a 2nd semester add-on. Ciarelli (2 goals) was an effective 3rd liner and checker.
On the blueline, the newly departed (or scratched) are Landry and Bobbee. Landry was a 3rd pair d-man and often scratched. He was often paired with Paulsen and they seemed to work well together. Bobbee would be a key loss.
However, Bestland was announced as leaving, yet here he is. He was injured most of last season and perhaps wants to depart with a full season under his belt.
With two new goaltenders previously announced, I suspected that Rewucki was not returning. He saw no action in league play last year.
The only new name not previously brought up in this thread is Brett Dudar. His stats pages are linked. He played for the Selkirk Steelers the last two seasons, after having played two seasons in the MMJHL.
Turning to the game, the Bisons had this one under control the whole time it would seem. Not only did they register a shut-out, they also managed to keep the penalties down. The shots stats have not been updated for the 2nd and 3rd periods as I post. Bisons goals were scored by Augert, Paulsen, Rowinski, and Paradis. Dubyk and Jensen shared the shut-out.
The Bisons are now 3-1-0 in the pre-season. This was Toronto's first game.
The rematch goes Saturday night, and then the Bisons will face Ryerson on Sunday at the former Maple Leaf Gardens.

As sometimes happens, the game story was posted late at night, or early morning, after I had posted the night before. So, I have updated the links.
Now I am unsure as to what happened in the Bison net. The LeagueStat summary did not update shots after the 1st period and lists Bison back-up goaltender Brendan Jensen as the 3rd star. It also lists starting goaltender Devan Dubyk as playing 40 minutes and Jensen as playing "-". My inference was that Jensen must have played the 3rd. How else would he get 3rd star? However, the story says:

Second verse, same as the first. There were a few line-up changes, including a new goaltender, but Saturday's game was eerily similar to Friday's. The Friday summary was updated so as to deleted the names of a few Bisons, who resumably did not dress, and Saturday's lineup contains just those who dressed. Here is a very rough look at how they may have looked:

Merasty scored the first two goals of the game, both assisted by Lewadniuk and Robinson. Hunter and Paradis also recorded goals for the Herd. Jensen went the distance in goal. The Bisons outshot the Blues 36-30, including 26-16 over the final two periods.
After a quick rest the Bisons get up Sunday morning to face the Ryerson Rams at 11:30 am CDT.

Joel Schreyer scored in the 2nd period to tie the game, but Ryerson took a 3-2 lead before the period ended. The shots were 12-12.
The Bison alarm clock must have gone off between periods. Shaq Merasty scored early to tie the game. Then after 8 minutes Merasty and Jesse Paradis scored 20 seconds apart on a 5-on-3 powerplay. A late goal for the Rams made the score respectable.
Byron Spriggs got the start in goal and stopped 40 of 44 shots he faced. So each goaltender claimed a win on the weekend.
The win gives the Bisons are very satisfying 5-1-0 record in the pre-season. The puck drops for real next weekend when the Bisons are off to Bedrock U for a rematch of last year's semi-final against the Dinos.

So far, the LeagueStat roster page has not been updated. This prevents me from doing an arrivals/departures pre-season story on the conference. It also makes handicapping the league a challenge. The CW site links do provide a coaches' poll and a pre-season story on each team, so that would be a good place to start.
As a result, this post is one part season preview and one part weekend preview.
The Bison roster page was just updated to 2014-15 today. Even from earlier this morning, two new names (who did not play in Toronto) have vanished. One new name is Dustin Bruyere, from the Selkirk Steelers. He will wear #22. Darren Bestland (the former #22) is not listed. So his inclusion in Toronto must have been in error. In any event, this is what I have compiled:
FORWARDS:
RETURNING:
Jory Coates
Brendan Rowinski
Jesse Paradis
Dylan Kelly
Aaron Lewadniuk
Taylor Dickin
Jordan DePape
ARRIVALS:
Chad Robinson
Warren Callis
Brett Dudar
Joel Schreyer
Justin Augert
Shaq Merasty
Colin Mospanchuk
Dustin Bruyere
DEPARTURES:
Craig Scott
Austin Lauder
Ian Duval
Paul Ciarelli
Jon Gaudet
Luke Cain
Justin Delabozik
SYNOPSIS:
Duval was one of the best players in the CIS and will be tough to replace. Cain and Ciarelli formed the basis of an effective checking 3rd line. Otherwise the departures are 4th and 5th liners. Five of the top six forwards are back. I am anxious to see what the arrivals actually look like on ice. On paper, they are an upgrade. Merasty has been sizzling in the pre-season and could be a Duval. Robinson is highly touted. The others should at least equal those they replaced.
DEFENCE:
RETURNING:
Lee Christensen
Luke Paulsen
Brock Sutherland
Kyle Rous
ARRIVALS:
Channing Bresciani
Josh Elmes
Reid Gow
Rene Hunter
DEPARTURES:
Dane Crowley
Pierre Landry
Jeremy Schappert
Darren Bestland
Travis Bobbee
SYNOPSIS:
Until last year, Crowley and Schappert were typically rewarded as two of the top four defencemen in the CWUAA in post-season all-star selections. That is pure blue chip and hard to replace. Bobbee was also a team top 4 calibre player. That's a load of talent to lose. However, Schappert missed most of last season. A few years back the Bisons had 10 defencemen and for the bulk of the season formed a 4th line of defencemen playing up front. For some reason, they have a pipeline to solid blueliners. Gow was one of the best offensive defencemen in the WHL last year. Hunter is a highly-touted defensive type from the Wheaties. They should be regulars. Bresciani and Elmes are Junior A/US Major grads and apparently had a load of ice time in Toronto.
GOALTENDERS:
RETURNING:
Deven Dubyk
ARRIVALS:
Byron Spriggs
Brendan Jensen
DEPARTURES:
Joe Caligiuri
Joey Rewucki
SYNOPSIS:
Caligiuri held off a challenge from Dubyk to win back the #1 spot last year. Since Steve Christie left there have been close battles in the Bison goal. In 2011-12 Caligiuri started over Jesse Deckert. Then in 2012-13 Deckert won the battle. I am not sure what to expect. Traditionally, a good Junior A prospect has to play a year or two as 3rd string if he wants to move up. That could be the plan for Spriggs, who played brilliantly for the Blues in the MJHL. Jensen and Dubyk each had shut-outs against Toronto and I would not be surprised to see each get a start against Bedrock.
I hope to get enough information on Calgary to break down their arrivals and departures. Their exihibiton roster at LeagueStat listed 29 players, and I don't think they will all make the team. Right now, there are some known major departures:
Taylor Stefishen F
Giffen Nyren D
Cory Pritz D
Brett Bartman D
That's a top 3 forward and 3 top 4 defencemen.
The Dinos got off to an incredible start last year (19-0-1). They were unable to keep up the pace down the stretch and fell behind Alberta. The Bisons had a tough start, mostly because they could not generate offence. By the playoffs the Bisons had risen to Calgary's level. When they met in the semi-final round, Calgary won the deciding game in overtime.
The Bisons' weakest performances in the pre-season were the 3rd games in 3 nights (or afternoons, as it happened). Otherwise they did very well, in fact better than last year's pre-season. With all their games being on the road so far, I have not seen them first-hand.
What's the outlook for these teams? The Dinos are a consenus 2nd, but I believe they could knock off the Monkeys, or even fall as far as 3rd due to their blue-line losses. The Bisons are likely to fall into the 3rd-6th range. I suspect both Calgary and Alberta will fall back a bit. For somebody to challenge them it would take a better-than-hoped-for kind of season from new recruits.
For this weekend, there should be overtime in least one game. We should expect to see DeSerres/Lazaruk split the games in Calgary's end and Dubyk/Jensen to likewise for Manitoba. Otherwise, just too bad this is not on CanadaWest.tv.

These teams have the honour of opening the CIS regular season. MRU had a nice pre-season, beating Calgary and sweeping Lakehead. Still, they could finish anywhere from 4th to 7th. Lethbridge showed some signs of life last year. In fact, on the final weekend they swept MRU! I suspect they will win more games but still finish 8th. Their only pre-season wins were against Portage College from the ACAC.

The Battle of Banjoland! The age-old canine v feline rivalry will once again be fought out in a home-and-home hockey series. Both sides are perplexing. Sask looked really bad early on, the gathered steam after the mid-point. Just when they seemed ready to mount a challenge, they lost at home to UBC in the quarter-finals. After a prolonged period in the Saskatoon dog pound they emerged to win their pool at the University Cup and get to the final game. They look like they are not quite a contender, but will never be an easy mark either. They could finish anywhere from 2nd to 5th.
Meanwhile, Regina was very much in the thick of the playoff race to the end, only to be pipped by UBC at the finish line. They over-achieved in 2012-13 and perhaps they overdrew their karma account. They have had poor pre-season results. Still, anything from 5th to 7th is possible.

:. [UBC Preview Story] : [Repost at CW]
This is another semi-final rematch from a year ago. UBC are expected to have a large core of returnees. Will they be better just on that basis? Perhaps. But UBC usually find ways to disappoint. They would really love to make the Big Four in the CW a Big Five. They did beat Alberta in pre-season. That came right after Alberta lost to Augustana of the ACAC. The Monkeys rallied to win 4 straight, two of those in OT. This was not a typical pre-season for the Monkeys. I don't think they will repeat last year's record, but even finishing 2nd would be a surprise. As for UBC, I will still them as a #4 to #7 team until they show otherwise.

MRU scored the only goal of the 1st period and the lead held through two periods. Despite trailing heading into the 3rd period, the H0rny Ones were outshot 19-10 in the 3rd period, and surrendered another goal. Connor Collett (a rookie) and Matthew Brown (a vet) had the goals.

Have you heard anything about NAIT prepping for a step up to CIS? I see their women's teams playing against CIS competition too.

Not unless they rekindle the talks of a CIS/CCAA merger or working agreement.
IIRC neither NAIT nor SAIT would be eligible for CIS.

The pools for the Universiade were announced, and they are kind of skewed.
A Spain, Slovakia, Czech, China
B Canada, Russia, Sweden, Korea
C Kazakhstan, USA, Japan
That's a tough pool to be in - not a 'Pool of Death' but not great. Not a great draw given that Canada and Russia are the defending Gold and Bronze medalist. These two, along with Kazakhstan should have been tops in separate pools. They'll likely take 8 teams into the medal round, so it will shake out in the end.

This is a funny weekend in the CW. The 6 schools with football teams are also meeting each other in the hockey openers. On Friday, the Dinos edged the Bisons 42-41 on a last second field goal miss by the Bisons. Meanwhile, just a stagecoach ride away, the Dinos claimed a comfortable hockey victory. The Dinos scored 2 goals per period on just 31 shots ob Devan Dubyk. The Bisons managed just one goal (from rookie Chad Robinson) from17 shots on Kris Lazaruk.
The big diffrence in the game was that Calgary went 3-for-4 on the powerplay, whilst the Bisons were blanked.
I will be interested to see if the Bisons will make any line-up changes for Saturday's rematch, which goes at 7:00 CDT. Live Stats for all CW games are at http://www.leaguestat.com/canadawest/mens/en/stats/schedule.php.
I also added a link from Boxscore News. They had stopped all their previous hockey sections, but along came this link. We'll see what happens with them.
I also have a link from last week's Bison game at Ryerson. Seems like they got a little chippy once the game got physical, leading to penalties, and leading to goals:

The football game between these two banjo-oriented schools goes Saturday afternoon in Regina. The hockey series was in Saskatown on Friday. The teams then piled into a tractor for the ride to Regina for Saturday's rematch. These things are now possible in Saskatchewan since half the road from Saskatown to Regina is now paved. That's progress!
On the ice, Regina dominated the shot clock but Ryan Holfeld stymied them in the Mutts' goal with a 34 save shutout. It is hard for me to get a gauge on these two teams. Sask already has pre-season losses to Alberta, Calgary, and Manitoba and Regina was winless against the CW.
One weakness with the redesigned CW website is that they do not have quick-and-easy links to audio or video. I believe this game will be on CanadaWest.tv at 7:00 CST or 8:00 CDT.

After a pre-season where they were monkeying around, everybody was keen to see what the Primates would look like once the season started. Well, they looked like a strong team, but not the juggernaut that won the U-Cup last year. While I still expect them to finish 1st, I believe that the gap between them and the middle of the pack will be greatly reduced.
UBC looked pretty good. After two periods the score was 2-2 and UBC held a 27-21 lead of the shot clock. Although Saudi Alberta scored the only goal in the 3rd, they were all over UBC, outshooting them 17-4. Kurtis Mu-u-ucha got the win and Matt Hewitt was tagged with the loss.
