By Dave Leaderhouse NIPAWIN HAWKS, LW It would take some digging, but it is probably a pretty safe bet that Tyler Adams belongs to a very select group and the number of members in that particular group would have just one name – Tyler Adams. When the Nipawin Hawks captured the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League championship […]

By Dave Leaderhouse NIPAWIN HAWKS, D Leaders are supposed to lead by example and not too many do it better than Nipawin Hawks’ captain Carter Doerksen. A mainstay of the Nipawin blueline brigade for four years, the 5-foot-10, 187-pound Swift Current product scored his first playoff goal of the season in the biggest game of the […]

By Dave Leaderhouse ESTEVAN BRUINS, C The Estevan Bruins had the most explosive offense during the regular season and that trend has continued in the playoffs, but during the Bruins’ run to the Canalta Cup final series they have received some additional scoring from an unlikely source. Tanner Manz, who turned 19 in January, had just […]

By Dave Leaderhouse NIPAWIN HAWKS, D It took a move to Nipawin early in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season before 19-year-old Gage Misskey scored a goal at the Junior “A” level and since joining the Hawks the veteran defenceman has not only done that, but he has provided strong leadership on a team looking for […]

By Dave Leaderhouse HUMBOLDT BRONCOS, C The Humboldt Broncos began the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs with wins in three of their first four games and one constant in each of those games was 19-year-old forward Brayden Camrud getting on the scoresheet. The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Saskatoon product has cooled off somewhat in the last three games […]

By Dave Leaderhouse BATTLEFORDS NORTH STARS, RW The Battlefords North Stars are in an unfamiliar and somewhat unexpected position trailing the Estevan Bruins by two games in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League semi-finals and with the series now heading to Estevan for the next two matches it will take an all-out effort from everyone on the […]

By Dave Leaderhouse WEYBURN RED WINGS, C Landon Walters has been a journeyman forward in the true sense of the term and as the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoffs settle into the quarter-final round the 20-year-old Regina product is drawing from all of his past experiences to lead the Weyburn Red Wings in scoring early in […]

By Dave Leaderhouse WEYBURN RED WINGS, G It’s a pretty safe bet that as long as the Weyburn Red Wings are in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s postseason, Arik Weersink will be tending their goal. The 20-year-old from Lethbridge has been the Red Wings’ workhorse in goal playing in 42 games this year recording a 20-18-3-1 […]

By Dave Leaderhouse FLIN FLON BOMBERS, RW The talent pool from Fairbanks, Alaska, has produced three key parts of the Flin Flon Bombers squad this year and 19-year-old Ethan Daniels has turned his game up a notch heading down the final stretch of the regular season and into the post-season. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound forward had six […]

By Dave Leaderhouse NIPAWIN HAWKS, G The Nipawin Hawks, for the last number of years, have been somewhat of a goaltending factory. First there was Davis Jones; then came Joe O’Brien and for the last two seasons there was Kristian Stead, who not only was named the SaskTel Top Goaltender, but was also the SGEU Most […]
