Okay... as, what isn't a real surprise to me... with everything going on at the arena, and not getting enough sleep lately - combination of that and the snow shoveling last night seemingly sucking the life out of me also - but well, because of all that I wasn't able to finish the 18th's update pre-game
Basically what I yattered on about is - the post will be one [for the last 3 days of games]...
*Apologies for this turning into a 3 day update... it's mainly been a sleep/fatigue issue and
Crap... due to a Chrome crash, I lost some work and have to retype a bunch [from Sunday]... grr!!!
Tuesday notes: I'm having no luck completing this post lately... had a total collapse of energy last night after having high hope of finishing, then today when I had lunch I had hopes of getting some progress but my stupid laptop battery died after only replying to a few EP related messages... it's getting flippin hopeless... but I am very stubborn and refuse to give up, so hopefully I can get this thing maybe all complete but for game summaries, by pre-game, then can add those in after.
So, here goes...
- - - - -
Friday scores:
- Saints beat Drayton Valley 4-1 in Spruce Grove. Wow, that was a dominant game by the Saints, outshooting 37-17. It really surprised me the Saints don't get more people to their games... top team in the North only with 572 attending. Bobcats have been at the bottom of the division most of the season and when I notice they usually have over 1000 - maybe it's the proximity to Edmonton. Wow, awful lots of penalties in that one - 9 players with over 10mins! Saints C #10 Sammy Spurrell the lone 3 pt player (2G, 1A).
- Pontiacs beat Sherwood Park 4-3 in a shootout in Bonnyville. Another one-sided game in shots (42-23 BON), but close in score. RW/C #15 Spencer Foo with the shootout winner for Pontiacs.
- Bandits absolutely clobbered the Mustangs 9-0 in Brooks.
- Dragons beat Camrose 4-3 in Drumheller.
- Olds beat the Storm 2-0 here in Grande Prairie.
- Okotoks beat the Oil Barons 2-1 in #oldFortMcMurray (RM of Wood Buffalo).
- Camrose beat the Saints 4-2 in Spruce Grove.
- Okotoks beat the Pontiacs 4-2 in Bonnyville.
- Brooks beat the Dragons 2-1 in Drumheller.
- Sherwood Park beat the Bobcats 5-1 in Lloydminster.
- Storm beat the Canucks 3-2 here in Grande Prairie.
- Wolverines beat Olds 5-1 in Whitecourt.
- Oil Barons beat Canmore 4-0 in #oldFortMcMurray (RM of Wood Buffalo).

Suspension update:
January 18, 2013 - Bonnyville player, Tommy Barszc, has been suspended for two (2) games as a result of being assessed a major penalty for kneeing during a January 18, 2013 game in Bonnyville. The suspension is to be served during the Pontiacs’ next two (2) regularly scheduled League games.
So, C #18 Tommy Barszcz
As for Olds LD #3 Taylor Bilyk - I had a deep down feeling he might get dinged for that instigator he was given
I know this order is a bit messed up, but it's due to this post being delayed... my apologies! But anyways, Canucks D #10 Alex Marcinew - why, like Bilyk, I didn't think of suspension for him - who knows. But, he missed the game Sunday, serving the suspension, in Whitecourt, and is eligible to return Tuesday. Thunder C #20 Eric Sieben will serve his suspension Thursday & Saturday this week, and will be eligible to return 2 Fridays from now, February 1st. Wow, has this month ever flown by fast for me!

Changes:
Bonnyville:
*LW #11 Jackson Dudley is back from injury ("Upper body injury, expected back by Jan 10th-15th"), and played
Brooks:
*The injury bug as officially hit the Bandits, as LW #37 Taylor Makin is now out (Lower body injury suffered Jan 6th, expected back Jan 20th - Feb 3rd), F #12 Tyson McCallum (Upper body injury suffered Jan 11th, expected back Jan 25th - Feb 8th) & LD #3 Chris Muscoby (Lower body injury suffered Jan 15th, expected back Jan 29th - Feb 12th) are all newly listed as out of the lineup.
*D/F #4 Tyler Narsing, has been de-listed and removed from the Bandits AJ stats/roster. Current whereabouts unknown.
Calgary Canucks:
*C #12 Clayton Petrie, returned from injury (Concussion, day-to-day), to play here in GP against the Storm.
*
*RD/F #40 Eric Kardash went back down to the Calgary Northstars Midget AAAs (AMHL) to play in their game Saturday.
*As I had posted and lost, C #20 Sam Plaquin, as Jeff Henson told me pre-game against the Storm in the press box Saturday - Plaquin was released by the Oilers in December (which I was pretty sure of already), and was added by the Canucks and played his first game Jan 5th, but as I also found out from Jeff and that said paper game sheet I have with me now, Plaquin is only an AP with the Canucks. So because of that, one would assume he is/has been playing Jr. B hockey somewhere (I figured Calgary Jr. B - CalJHL, but he is not listed on any team's stats/roster there)... but for the life of me I can't find proof anywhere of that. It seems as though, due to the injuries they have been cursed with a lot lately, the Canucks are just utilizing his AP status as best as they possibly can to help fill the lineup.
*LD #7 Jake Dube, as expected, was back down playing with the UFA Bisons Midget AAAs (AMHL), Saturday.
*Most recent #7, D Zach Fowles, was up playing with the Canucks both Saturday & yesterday afternoon, from the Edge School Prep team from both the CSSHL & MPHL. He will likely be in the lineup for the team in their next MPHL game on Friday.
*To no surprise to me, '3rd string goalie' (at least to me, he seems to be #3 on the Canucks depth chart) G #1 Jeff Orser, was back down playing with the Calgary Northstars Midget AAAs (AMHL) Saturday.
*Canucks 4th/5th G on the 'depth chart' G #32 Curtis Bowman, was also back down for CRAA Gold Midget AA (HCMAA) in the lineup for game yesterday.
*RW #35 Justin Peers, was back down, in the lineup, with Calgary Northstars Midget AAAs (AMHL) for game Saturday.
Calgary Mustangs:
*Success - the
*RW #26 Colby Chartier was up & played last night, from the UFA Bisons Midget AAAs (AMHL) and
*C #17 Austin Masse, was up and played last night, from UFA Bisons Midget AAA (AMHL), and
*LW #11 Ryan Zeniuk, was also up and played
*#-less LW Matthew Alfaro, now listed as an AP/reserve, but currently plays with the Calgary Northstars Midget AAAs (AMHL).
Camrose:
*RD/F #2 Dallas Bergstrom, returned Saturday from suspension (2 game suspension as a result of being assessed a boarding penalty Jan 11th, eligible to return Jan 19th).
*It's definitely possible I missed this is one of those heavily belated post, but I am pretty sure C #22 Hudson Elyniuk, was later added to the Kodiaks Jan 5th game sheet. But regardless, he's been back down playing with Calgary Flames Midget AAAs (AMHL) since the 9th.
*Kodiaks gained a familiar face to the lineup Saturday, in C #17 Tanner Marshall, who's played with the Kodiaks on and off since 2009. I have no clue if it was injury, or he was playing elsewhere and I just cannot track it down (and I have tried, hard!)... but am leaning towards the first. Whatever the case - Saturday was his first AJHL game since the 2012 playoffs.
Canmore:
*LW #7 Carter Jensen, was back up playing with the Eagles Saturday. As of now, I have no clue if he was back with CRAA Gold Jr. B (CalJHL) for game on the 21st or not. Currently on their schedule, the game is listed as to be played yesterday at 3:15 at a TBA location (as of 4:38pm Monday)... it's strange alright! How they don't have a set location listed, even the day after the game was to be played - is really bizarre to me. Got to be some reasoning behind it though.
*Yet another recent #7, F Bryan Huck, played for the Eagles on the 17th. Much like I said about C #22 Hudson Elynuik with Camrose, I very well could have missed him in a previous update, but I'm just about 100% certain he was added with an AJHL profile to the game sheet after my update from the game he played. As for Huck in general, little I can find on him. It's likely because he's played the midget I can find with the Hockey Calgary Midget AA (HCMAA) which do not list much for player information besides name, #, sometime position, and stats. My guess about the lack of intel on him - he had a quick rise from lower level (A likely) leagues where stats aren't kept online long, if at all, in bantam and midget and is just becoming 'known' now due to his HCMAA career; and now more so with this AJ game under his belt. Huck is currently tied for the Midget AA team's point lead with an impressive 42 points (18G, 24A) in 20 games, and 2nd on the team in goals (18, as I listed above) - definitely looks like he earned the chance to play in the AJ! He, however was not in the lineup for their last game Sunday, but a fairly good chance he will be on the 27th.
Drayton Valley:
*Okay, this 'situation' with RD #5 Colton Cassidy progressively baffles me. I presume he's hurt, but have no proof. He's on the AJ's Thunder reserves yes, but has yet to play for the Leduc Riggers Jr. B team (CapJHL) where he is listed on their active stats/roster, albeit with a really screwy profile (#100, NR??? What... haha!). So because of this, I've kept him on active with the Thunder on EP.
Drumheller:
*LD #23 Tyler Poskus, listed as playing Friday & Saturday for the Dragons.
Fort McMurray:
*No roster moves, but captaincy changes, post Jan 10th moves: C #9 Mike Marianchuk becomes new MOB captain (replacing LD #4 Brock Maschmeyer that was traded to Nanaimo of the BCHL), D/F #5 Taylor Graham possible future permanent A, and as he was one also earlier in season & LW/C #20 Justin Fraser, remains assistant.
Grande Prairie:
*Speaking of the game tonight vs the Canucks... well, I should have done this a while ago now, but never got around to it myself. I kind of thought someone else would have by now, as I'm not a regular updater, but oh well... I can fix it up now. Former Storm C/LW #19 Marc-Etienne Drapeau had never been removed by anyone else off the Storm's reserve roster... but I just removed him now. He was, after all, traded to the LHJAAAQ at the deadline, after leaving the team to attend pharmaceutical school.
*Also, I heard Storm captain RW #15 Taylor Cote was no longer with the team. Later heard there was a tweet about him going to work in the oilfield. Here's that very tweet, from Jan 11th - I don't know for sure if this means Cote has retired from hockey and has been 'let go/released' as a member of the team/carded player, but will try finding out for sure. Tough alright... unfortunately it appears the post concussion issues were too much to continue playing hockey, at least now.
*Recently acquired C #19 Braeden Music, as I found out directly from him - out with a day-to-day back injury, and likely back in the lineup for one or both of the home games here against Bonnyville Tuesday & Wednesday.
*LD #6 Kye McKinney, was back down playing with Fort Saskatchewan Rangers Midget AAAs (AMHL), since Jan 12th.
*C/RW #23 John Webb, was back down playing with Sexsmith Vipers (NWJHL) as of Saturday.
Lloydminster:
*D #26 Stefan Freter, was back down playing with the Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAAs (AMHL) for a game Saturday.
*As for C #19 Ryley Wozniak - I'd update his status but that I cannot. His Jr. B team, St. Paul Canadiens (NEAJBHL) has a game between his last AJHL game (around the 11th) and Saturday's Bobcats game but... the league site is down...
Okotoks:
*Though still listed as injured (Lower body injury, expected back by Jan 28th) on Oilers AJ roster, LWF #22 Colton Sheen returned to the lineup for Friday's game.
*LW #20 Sheldon Rempal was down playing with the Calgary Buffaloes Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday.
Olds:
* Captain F #14 Bart Moran, returned to the Grizzlys lineup Sunday, from injury (Upper body injury as of Jan 5th, out indefinitely).
*RD #6 Matt Hanger, also returned from injury (Upper body injury as of Dec 18th, out indefinitely) in Friday's game.
*To 100% confirm my suspicions on the status of D #26 Cale Brown, he's been de-listed from the Mountainview Colts (HJHL) stats/roster. Here's his now hidden HJHL profile with final stats. So I guess it's safe to say he's a fully carded played with the Grizzlys, likely for the rest of the season.
*D/LW #26 Chaydan Lauber, has been back down playing with the Southeast Hounds Minor Midget AAAs (AMMHL) since Saturday.
Sherwood Park -
*Cru also have a newly listed AP/reserve, from the Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAAs (AMHL) - LW #25 Bryce Woodward is apparently up with the Crusaders but has yet to play. Here is his AJHL profile, and below is a screenshot showing him on active AJ stats/roster:
Spruce Grove:
*LD #4 Connor James was up and played for the Saints last night, from the Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAAs (AMHL). Chances are very likely, he's in the lineup at this moment for the Bobcats.
*His teammate with the Bobcats, C #14 (he was #25 before RW Connor Hoekstra was traded in) Tyler Busch, also was up and played for the Saints,
*RW #20 Jarid Hauptman is back from injury ("Lower body injury suffered Jan 9th, expected back Jan 16th") to play last night also
*Strange... from what I have on file, G Tyler Fuhr & G Nathan Park switched #s. Fuhr was originally listed as #31 when added to the Saints AJ roster with Park being #35... now they are opposite. No idea why... maybe they worked out a deal for it or something. I have to wonder though... does this suggest Park is on the way out?
*C #10 Sammy Spurrell is back out of the lineup with injury, this time a 3 week upper body injury as of the 19th - in other words to me: Upper body injury suffered Jan 19th, expected back by Feb 9th.
*LD #4 Connor James was back playing with the Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAAs (AMHL) as of Saturday.
Whitecourt:
*D #3 Kellan Cornelis, from Fort Saskatchewan Rangers Midget AAA (AMHL), and played on Saturday & Sunday. He likely will be back in the Rangers lineup Feb 2nd.
*#-less LW Brandon Ralph. added to Wolverines APs/reserves from Fort Saskatchewan Rangers Midget AAAs (AMHL).
*#-less C

As for the overtired stupor last night... seriously... besides the below notes that make next to no sense... I have no idea when I got that I needed "more tomato when not passing out!" Haha! Check this and this tweet - I'd delete them, but they are classics... I'd be removing pure gold! Haha! Were you aware there's 32 days in January now?? Haha! Heck, I couldn't even do my unique intro tweeter signature right "~>"... haha!)
