A year ago, Max Johnson had three goals in 50 games split between the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Calgary Canucks and Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Humboldt Broncos. This year, through 17 games, the 19-year-old defenceman from Grand Forks, ND, has four goals to go along with seven helpers with the Nipawin Hawks. In fact, the […]
The current Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season has mirrored that of defenceman James Philpott and his Melville Millionaires as the 19-year-old was hot out of the gate, but has cooled off somewhat recently. The Calgary product had six points in his first three games, a stretch in which the Millionaires picked up five of a […]
The adjustment to Junior “A” hockey was pretty smooth and quick for 18-year-old Braden Birnie as the homegrown Weyburn Red Wing product had eight points in his first seven games, but the 6-foot-1, 170-pound winger has found out it won’t always be that easy as he has been held off the scoresheet in five straight […]
The Flin Flon Bombers have had little trouble putting the puck in the net this year as their 66 goals scored in 15 games trails just the 72 that the league-leading Battlefords North Stars have registered in 16 tilts.

Prior to Thursday’s loss to the Kindersley Klippers, Riley Kohonick had played all but five minutes in the Notre Dame Hounds’ goal to start the 2019-20 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season. While the 19-year-old White City, SK., product’s 4-7-0-1 record might not turn many heads his 3.16 goals-against average and .903 save percentage certainly does. […]
He could still be playing midget hockey, not just this year, but next season as well, but Karter McNarland has clearly shown that he can play with the big boys. The 16-year-old Saskatoon product has not only earned a spot on the Humboldt Broncos’ roster, but the 5-foot-11, 165-pound forward has been a productive addition […]
In July the Estevan Bruins made a deal with the British Columbia Hockey League’s Prince George Spruce Kings that saw goaltender Keenan Rancier head east in exchange for Preston Brodziak. That trade has already paid huge dividends as the 19-year-old Victoria, B.C., product has been a workhorse for the Bruins seeing action in eight of […]
When the Melfort Mustangs included defenceman Lucas Ochitwa in their 2019-20 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League line-up it wasn’t because they were expecting a huge offensive output from the 18-year-old Wadena, Sask., product. Ochitwa, after all, had managed to score just four goals in 122 games over the last three seasons with the Swift Current Legionnaires […]
