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

TONIGHT’S OPPONENTLAST OUTING: The Blades visit Western Financial Place tonight on the heels of a 4-1 setback in Lethbridge Friday on a night that saw four Saskatoon players (including Buffalo Sabres prospect Brycen Martin) make their debuts with the club. Giorgio Estephan led the way offensively for the Hurricanes with a pair of goals with his late first-period tally standing up as the game-winner. Former ICE goaltender Jayden Sittler made 40 saves in his Lethbridge debut to collect the victory, while Nik Amundrud turned aside 30 shots for the Blades. Saskatoon’s lone goal came with 9:09 remaining in the third period off the stick of Cameron Hebig.

LAST MEETING: Tonight marks the second of four meetings this season between the Blades and Kootenay ICE and the first of two matchups on successive Saturdays. Saskatoon took home a 5-2 decision in the last encounter between the two sides October 22 at SaskTel Centre. Alex Forsberg led the way with two goals for the Blades, including the game-win-ning tally late in the second period. Zak Zborosky and Jaedon Descheneau scored for the ICE. Amundrud made 31 saves to record the victory, while Keelan Williams stopped 35 of 40 shots for Kootenay. Eight of the 18 skaters dressed for the Blades in the game are no longer with the club.
