A Frustrating Weekend…

I don’t know how many times I thought to myself over the two games this weekend that if the Hawks could just get one goal that it would be enough to propel themselves to victory over the Everett Silvertips on Friday and the Vancouver Giants on Saturday.

From looking at the rosters of other teams in the WHL, the next [...]

Tuesday Updates…

First, both Kurtis Mucha (Phoenix) and Travis Ehrhardt (Detroit) have been returned by the NHL clubs to Portland and both should be ready to go on Friday night in Everett.

Upon further review, it was Joe Morrow, not Brett Ponich, that chipped the puck up the boards to spring the 3-on-1 rush that led to the [...]
