GP Storm vs Drumheller Dragons pre-game - Feb 9th

 So, I did start this pre-game, but got caught up with game tweets and other stuff... haha! So this post is happening post-game. Oh well - better late than never... haha!
- - - - -

*RW #14 Jade McMullen out with 'upper body injury' aka, a concussion, per Jeff Henson on air tonight on Free FM broadcast, hurt in last night's game (I believe I missed tweeting that last night during the game)
*C/RW #23 John Webb back in the lineup for Storm in place of McMullen. From what I've been told and heard first hand from members of both teams involved... and I hope I get/got this right... Webb is on an affiliate card, but more or less is with the Storm more so and travels with team as a reserve - there when needed to suit up like tonight. He kind of fills in/suits up for the NWJHL's Sexsmith Vipers in between,  when available.
*As I just found out via Jeff... LD #4 Tyler Haiste is injured and likely out long term.

Blaine [Bablitz/Babs]'s Storm lines (Jeff reeled them off pretty quick, so I caught what I could - in no particular order):
F's
Labbe-Correale-?
Baskerville-Forsyth-Matthews
Boytinck-McTaggart-Thudium
Case-Webb-?
D's
Larocque-Hodge
Van Horne-Nikirk
Milnthorp-Stener
G's
Skip in goal (Kulmanovsky backing up)

Missing above & playing - Printz, Music

Lawson is other Storm scratch (3rd concussion of season, out indefinitely)

Dragons scratches: Raats, Baxandall, Rauckman


Starting lineups... I know the Dragons 'forwards' are incorrect... couldn't keep up with Jeff, and the line didn't stay out too long into the start of the first... hehe

G - Beukeboom
D - Deagle-Gartner
F - Vannucci-Hendrix-Cook-Bloom (or possibly #20 Bryton Mills... I think my Drumheller friend might be messing with me.. haha!) - edit, in clarification from Drumheller friend, she said that it wasn't Hendrix but Cook, as far as she knows, with #41 Bloom (not #15! Haha!)

#Stormz:
Skip
Larocque-Hodge
Forsyth-Baskerville-Matthews
- - - - -

Yeah, I realize it's nearly 3am already, but hey - at least I finished this post at all, the way I've been going the last week or two... haha!

GP Storm at Olds - pre game notes - Feb 6th

I swear, one of these games I WILL get the Storm lines... I'm just always occupied with something else and NEVER seem to get them... haha

I missed starting lineups too... my bad. One of these days, like I said.. I will get all this and hopefully will from then on... hehe!

Storm scratches - LD #4 Tyler Haiste, C #7 Sam Lawson, C/RW #23 John Webb. Now replaced Storm captain, RW #15 Taylor Cote has not been mentioned by Jeff Henson as being a scratch for games now... to me, that's an indication his season is over.

G #20 Nick Kulmanovsky again gets start for Storm.

Grizzlys scratches - D/F #5 Connor Bass, LW #19 Reid Wilson, C/D #22 J.C. Heck.

G #31 Ethan Jemieff started but uh... didn't finish, let's put it that way. G #1 Jake Tamagi came in later.
- - - - -

I had this post finished since before the game ended, but never did get around to publishing it... haha!

Whole LOAD (well, the MAIN AJHL one... will be a LOAD alone... it's likely gonna be a friggen mile long... haha! What do you expect from over a week eh? Haha!) of hopeful other posts to come yet tonight though!

GP Storm Vs SG Saints - pregame notes - Jan 29th

Okay, tonight's the first Kings game since being added to organization, there's a Storm game on 104.7 Free FM here in GP, and am attempting to do stuff on blog & Elite Prospects all at once - this is multitasking at it's finest... though my "death mode" laptop (which I plan to have replaced in the coming few days) is slow as heck and has it's problems that come with being well... 8-9 years old, there just so happens to be wireless here in the Eastlink Centre (leisure centre) which is attached to the Coca-Cola Centre (home of the JDA Kings)... so I can use "death mode" laptop to get a bit done, and not have to fully use up my data plan on 5-6 week old cell phone... haha!

Anyways...
- - - - -

Game notes for tonight...

I was on the bus eating my supper from Quizno's while Jeff said the Storm lines, so those aren't available to me here now.

But here is what I do have...
*Saints players D #3 Mike Williamson & D #21 Carson Soucy back in the lineup, returning from injuries.
*Saints therefore down to 5 APs (from 7 last game - due to emergency circumstances, via mass injury casualties): LW Daniel Huculak (who assisted on the first Saints G tonight), LW Liam Gregor, RD Graydon Smith, RW Tyler Mrkonijc & RW/C Riley Simpson (who scored the first G for the Saints tonight). As it's also almost 100% their jerseys or at least one of theirs, are different tonight than they used to be, I will sort those out after I get back home likely after 11pm post-Kings-game.
*Storm changes into C/RW #23 John Webb coming into the lineup replacing D #25 Brandon Hodge - which gives the Storm 12F & 6 D (instead of 11/7 last game).
*G #20 Nick Kulmanovsky gets the start for Storm, with G #1 Kenny Cameron on the the end of the pond.
*Storm announced new captaincies in light of captain RW #15 Taylor Cote out for at least the season (well... Jeff said pre-game Cote MAY be out for the season - so there IS, even if a slim chance, a chance of his return before the end of the 2012-13 season/playoffs): new captain (potentially an interim C) is LW/C #29 Mike Forsyth, LD #3 Sasha Larocque & LD #22 Scott Milnthorp remain as A's, and new A goes to RW #16 Ryan Baskerville.

Ah to heck with hyperlinking now... wireless has gone to slowness now... not sure if it's my laptop, many people using wireless here, or wireless issues... but I'll hyperlink and update this later as Kings guy are here already so I may as well head to the arena next door. Gonna be a busy night for me... am going to try juggling all 4 jobs tonight, and we'll see how it goes.

Onto the "Coke can" for me though... will try keeping up with Twitter for both games if possible... hehe!

AJHL update - Jan 22nd-23rd

A slow-er day than Friday & Saturday, but still 4 games/half the league playing. Since it doesn't make much sense to split posts with everything that I came to know about the Pontiacs and Storm lineups for these 2 days, while updating stats - Tuesday and Wednesday are getting combined.

Post is now complete... managed to stay awake long enough to complete it, and not start typing crazily again or have my vision go haywire in one eye already!

[Tuesday] Scores:
  1. Bonnyville beat the Storm 3-2 here in Grande Prairie. Was a fairly close tight game, especially for the first 2 periods overall. Was really rough in the first so and less so in the 2nd, and barely in the 3rd. 2-0  Pontiacs after 1, 2-2 after 2, then the 3rd period... Pontiacs outshot 13-4 but only outscored by one for the win.
  2. Bandits beat the Canucks 6-2 in Brooks. Another dominant game by the Bandits, shots and score. RW #8 Mark Reners & RW #19 Dakota Mason each with 3 points (both with 1G, 2As).
  3. Camrose beat the Mustangs 3-0 at the Father David Bauer Arena in NW Calgary. Dominant game by the Kodiaks, besides the 3rd period where the Mustangs outshot 13-4, but couldn't buy a goal. All 3 Kodiaks goals scored in the 2nd. Kodiaks G #35 Matthew Gibney with the shutout.
  4. Bobcats beat Sherwood Park 4-1 in Lloydminster. Fairly even in shots until the 3rd, with a 12-5 period by the Cru. Loads of penalties, especially in the 3rd... the summary there is like a mile long... hehe! Bobcats F #7 Nolan Yaremchuk with 3 points (2G, 1A).
Wednesday scores:
  1. Canmore beat the Dragons 5-1 in Drumheller. A very one sided game by... Drumheller, in shots. Not in score. Kind of a strange game in that regard. In other words - very rough game for Drumheller starter G #35 Adam Beukeboom, who allowed 5G on 18 shots, where as G #35 Ty Swabb on the other end, stopped 34 of 35. RW #17 Zack Rassell, with 3 points (1G, 2A).
  2. Bonnyville beat the Storm 5-1 here in Grande Prairie. Close game in shots, not in score. Was your average close game, barring the score, for most of the game... there were penalties, but nothing like the last 12 seconds of game time... that was insane... took me like half an hour to get the penalties straight and get them updated properly onto the game sheet... hehe! Strangely, no one for the Pontiacs had more than 2 points.
PERIOD 3

Bonnyville Pontiacs at 19:48 - Alex Smith for Misconduct (10 Min.)
Grande Prairie Storm at 19:48 - Adam Boytinck for Game Misconduct (10 Min.)
Bonnyville Pontiacs at 19:48 - Alex Smith for Fighting (5 Min.)
Grande Prairie Storm at 19:48 - Jade McMUllen for Fighting (5 Min.)
Grande Prairie Storm at 19:48 - Adam Boytinck for Checking from behind (5 Min.)
Bonnyville Pontiacs at 19:48 - Alex Smith for Instigator (2 Min.)
Bonnyville Pontiacs at 19:59 - Christian Nypower for Goaltender interference (2 Min.)
Grande Prairie Storm at 19:59 - Brandon Hodge for Cross-checking (2 Min.)
- - - - -

Changes:

Bonnyville:
*RW #12 Christian Nypower is up for and played last night & tonight, from the Cold Lake Ice (NEAJBHL).
*Cold Lake teammate RW #14 Thomas "T.J." Cunningham also up and played last night & tonight - a new AP/reserve listed. Cunningham, some AJHLer observers may remember, started the season with the Calgary Canucks playing 7 games, scoring 1 assist and adding 17 penalty minutes (as TJ Cunningham), on a now hidden AJHL profile separate from his current active one with the Pontiacs (as Thomas Cunningham). As far as what I've been able to find thus far and what Bonnyville play-by-play guy Robb Hunter (who's standing to my right as I update stats here for the Jan 23rd game in GP - I've kind of assumed the role of late) knows - Cunningham went directly to the Ice from the Canucks and played his first game for them Nov 28th, but if someone knows different feel free to drop me a line. Both Nypower & Cunningham will likely be back with the Ice for a game Friday.
*C #10 Marc Dubeau was/is sick & both games here in GP.
*C #18 Tommy Barszcz served the last game of his 2 game suspension and is in the lineup for today's game, Wednesday the 23rd, in the 2nd half of doubled header here in GP against the Storm.

Grande Prairie:
*C/RW #23 John Webb is up from Sexsmith Vipers (NWJHL) as I knew personally as I've seen him up in the booth here both nights.
*Captain RW #15 Taylor Cote as I've heard publicly and updated onto Storm AJ stats/roster - out for the season at least, with post-concussion symptoms.
*C #7 Sam Lawson, as according to what Jeff Henson said to Robb Hunter line on radio on the Kool FM Bonnyville broadcast, is out with his 3rd concussion of the season and is out indefinitely. Team is taking very cautious approach to his return, probably with thoughts of captain Cote's status on their minds pretty good.
*LD #4 Tyler Haiste left the game last night and went to hospital, and initially it sounded like a serious long term wrist injury. He ended up retweetingTerry Farrell (GP Daily Herald Tribune's sports reporter)'s tweet last night confirming the injury, though he also tweeted about it also from the hospital. As he said to Jeff in an intermission interview, and later confirmed to me himself - he's likely back in the lineup Saturday in Drayton Valley. I love being able to update injuries onto the Storm AJ stats/roster, not that I figured out how to - makes it look a bit better, and all I'm entering there is public knowledge also (if Jeff or Robb, for example, says it on air - it's public after all. I've still got to add guys with the "major junior" icon yet too).
*RW #16 Ryan Baskerville, took a bit of a slapshot in the mouth last night from teammate, assistant captain LD #3 Sasha Larocque. I was constantly hearing that he lost 3 teeth, but Terry Farrell (who took a chair between myself & Robb) assured me it was only 1 and that Basky tweeted a pic of it. True enough!
*C #18 Braeden Music returned from day-to-day back injury on Tuesday. He also originally wore #19 for the Storm, post-trade from Canmore.
*LW/C #27 Brett Printz, originally wore #18 when first acquired by Storm from Kindersley (SJHL).
*LW #24 Adam Boytinck left the game tonight with potential shoulder injury (according to what Jeff said on radio)... if not he could very well be suspended for a hit he made seemed to trigger the chaos that happened with 12 seconds left in the game tonight. In fact, after the game while talking with others within the organization, there's thought that the Storm could possibly have 3 guys suspended from what went on tonight... could be a very different lineup Saturday...
*D #25 Brandon Hodge, returned from Pneumonia, day-to-day, for game tonight.

Brooks:
*LW #37 Taylor Makin, returned from injury (Lower body injury suffered Jan 6th, expected back Jan 20th - Feb 3rd) last night.

Calgary Canucks:
*As expected, I got confirmation from G #1 Austin Hannaford's father that he's back in Calgary and should be in the lineup for their next game Friday night, with the CNHA Blazers Midget AAs (HCMAA).
*LD/F #5 Evan Reid made his AJHL debut for the Canucks last night/Tuesday, up from the Calgary Royals Midget AAAs (AMHL). He'll likely be back in the lineup next for the Royals on Feb 1st.
*More recent G #1 Cody Befus (presumably a 4th/5th/6th stringer), was the back up on Tuesday night. He'll likely be back for them on Friday's game.

Lloydminster:
*LD #27 Linden Springer was back in the lineup last night, from suspension (2 game suspension as a result of being assessed a major penalty for hitting from behind, eligible to return Jan 22nd).

Sherwood Park:
*Callup LW #25 Bryce Woodward played Tuesday night, but will likely be bac k to his Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAA game in Tuesday night.

Canmore:
*LW/D #7 Colton Sandboe was up playing last night, from Grande Prairie Storm Midget AAAs (AMHL). He will likely be back with this Storm team, for their next game Feb 2nd.
*As far as I know former #7 LW Carter Jensen, has not been with his CalJHL Jr.B team., as he did not show on tonight's game sheet for the Jr. B CRAA Gold game.
*RW #16 Dylan Houston was back up in the Eagles lineup, up from the Three Hills Thrashers (HJHL). He will likely by back for the Thrashers game on Saturday.

Drumheller - no changes I'm aware of... which usually means they're healthy.

AJHL update Jan 18th-20th

[Incomplete... but I need to get some rest, and finish this hopefully in the morning or at the latest, early afternoon today (Sunday) after 2 afternoon games are finished as soon as freakin' possible... but thought I would post what I have thusfar...]

Besides game summaries that I will update in later - this post is 100% complete. :)

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 tonight (Friday). So it makes no sense now to do split entries...as there's going to be teams I've yet to get to from the 18th that played today on the 19th (today) - so doesn't make any sense to split these. I was 'off duty' so to say, at the CGA tonight besides my usual helping out in anyway I can. But in between game tweets, I was still attempting to finish the 18th update... took like a whole period to get the Mustangs portion done - that's when I knew it was doomed to be completed... but I refuse to give up until I really run out of time.

Basically what I yattered on about is - the post will be one [for the last 3 days of games]... 13 15 games worth and likely all 16 teams played, so order of teams listed by their order on the schedule, therefore makes no sense either - back to alphabetical listing. I feel like I should just so 'to heck with this for tonight' as I am beat tired, had a couple beers at the Earl's meet and greet with the team... but still I feel obligated to do everything I possibly can to get this update done tonight [and obvously failed miserably! Haha!]. Like last [Friday] night, if I [didn't] even manage to stay with it til then, I'll likely cut myself off at [before] 5am and then call[-ed] it a night, and in all reality very likely have more to finish on this tomorrow unfortunately [absolutely will finish it now, Monday night, with it being a day off from league play]... but I am stubborn and determined to try, even when it seems impossible to do something - I'm the type, if I enjoy what I'm doing, that I give my all to do the best I possibly can.

*Apologies for this turning into a 3 day update... it's mainly been a sleep/fatigue issue and I think I've [definitely] figured it out... but as the afternoon games are on, and I'm dead tired, I am going to lay down for a bit and hopefully be able to stay awake to accomplish anything. I should and will definitely have it finished tonight though... they are only 2 AJ games today... so it shouldn't be too much of a challenge if I get some more rest. More in the coming hours...

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.

Stats now fully updated on EP, just need to update Wolverines changes and game summaries!

So, here goes...
- - - - -

Friday scores:
  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Bandits absolutely clobbered the Mustangs 9-0 in Brooks.
  4. Dragons beat Camrose 4-3 in Drumheller.
  5. Olds beat the Storm 2-0 here in Grande Prairie.
  6. Okotoks beat the Oil Barons 2-1 in #oldFortMcMurray (RM of Wood Buffalo).
Saturday scores:
Sunday scores:

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 will be was out Saturday & [will be out] [was out] Tuesday, and eligible to return Wednesday, the 23rd. Brooks AC Brent Gunnlaugson (who I honestly have no memory added to EP long ago... hehe! That's not saying much - my memory prior to August especially, is a bit of a haze... haha!) & Drumheller AC Kurt Walsten (exactly as I said about Gunnlaugson... added to EP but no recollection whatsoever) are out for a game a piece, but as we have no option for listing suspensions for staff on EP, I'll focus on the player suspensions.

As for Olds LD #3 Taylor Bilyk - I had a deep down feeling he might get dinged for that instigator he was given last night Friday. Hmm.. Olds has a bit of a strange schedule - they play[-ed] their 3rd game in 3 nights  Sunday, but I guess the lengthy break is after Bilyk's suspension would end anyhow. He would have served it tonight Saturday and is was eligible to play for the Grizzlys tomorrow Sunday, anyhow. But yeah, their next game after Sunday isn't until, get this - February 6th! I guess it kind of make sense with them playing a bunch more than everyone else now, but still... looks kind of bizarre to be off over 2 and a half weeks during the regular season, without the whole league being on holiday (Christmas break, I'm getting at). Gotta wonder if there is some kind of reasoning behind them having such a lengthy break like that.

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 last night Friday & Saturday.

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.
*Although our updater girl here in GP marked on the current online AJHL game sheet that G #31 Andrew Guglielmin played backed up - that is false! I have the paper copy of the roster right in front of me, as the league staff has been giving me copies lately Calgary Canucks backup [Saturday] was an un-name-barred #1, Austin Hannaford (speaking of Hannaford, I am in the process of getting better profile info for EP), listed on the paper sheet as an "ECU" - which I assume stands for "emergency callup" (just confirmed in email from AJHL). Actually, since I am pretty sure I have the ability to at the very least, take Guglielmin off the game sheet and leave the backup as blank (as I'm unable to add players to the AJHL website currently - I am working on it to add some Storm APs)... never mind, once the games are posted and saved they soon after get locked by the league, so I can't removed Guglielmin from the online game sheet. I have emailed the league about it though... hopefully they at the least remove Guglielmin from the game sheet - I wouldn't be surprised if he's still in Calgary resting/healing now... and if he saw the sheet would probably be wondering... "what the heck is going on?"... haha! As for Hannaford, even though he's not listed on the game sheet from this afternoon in Whitecourt, my updater friend there told me that Hannaford was the backup there also, but as he's not been listed on the AJHL website with a profile by the Canucks staff - the updater was unable to list him on the online game sheet as the backup. The Whitecourt updater is certain Hannaford was the backup there in Whitecourt at 2:30pm, so that means that the HCMAA game sheet must be incorrect, as that game started at 3:30pm. For now, I go with official links for the transfers... but I should email[-ed] the Hockey Calgary Midget AA league about it if possible to. Update - confirmed by Austin's father Jamie in emails with me, Austin 100% was not in the lineup for the Midget AA game in Calgary... which is exactly what I thought, without 100% proof. But... Hockey Calgary has still yet to change anything on the game sheet from Sunday, and has not responded to my email. Basically, what I'm saying - even though Austin was an ECU, as I know for certain he has yet to legitimately be on a Midget AA game sheet... therefore he'll remain on the Canucks active EP AJ roster until I see him on a future game sheet in Calgary, or get confirmation from Jamie that he's back home (which is probably the quickest/likeliest to happen) as he'd also have to be back home for high school, just turning 16 in December.
*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 - they [Mustangs staf/updaters] finally updated the AJ profiles of RW #29 Evan Pugh & C #26 Matt McNair, with accurate player info! Awesome! Pugh by the way, was back with the Calgary Flames Midget AAAs (AMHL) today Saturday. McNair by the way, like Zach Fowles mentioned in the Canucks section, will likely be back playing for Edge School Prep in the MPHL, on the 25th.
*RW #26 Colby Chartier was up & played last night, from the UFA Bisons Midget AAAs (AMHL) and likely is was back [playing] with the Bisons for a game tonight Saturday.
*C #17 Austin Masse, was up and played last night, from UFA Bisons Midget AAA (AMHL), and he's likely [he was] down for a Bisons game currently Saturday (stats aren't listed by AMHL until at least a few hours after game time from what I've noticed).
*LW #11 Ryan Zeniuk, was also up and played last night Friday, also from UFA Bisons, and therefore likely [was] back with the Bisons playing right now for them Saturday.
*#-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.
*Another recent #7, LD Clive Rozdeba, as expected, was back down playing with Calgary Royals Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday.
*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...
*LD #8 Taylor Mulder, went back down to play with his Jr. B team, Blackfalds Wranglers, as of game Saturday.

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 - strangely, no changes I'm aware of. Probably a good sign - general means they're healthy. *Well, so much for that crossed out idea... haha! Unfortunately for the Cru, they do have an injury now - C #20 Bowen Croft is out of the lineup, briefly at least (Lower body injury suffered Jan 18th, day-to-day).
*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, and same story with him about likely playing today for the Bobcats , back with the Bobcats Saturday
*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#4 Jaden Sveinson, also added to the APs/reserves.. update on him as in my overtired stupid last night... anyways, as I was too tired to look hard enough apparently... Jaden is playing with the Leduc Oil Kings Midget AAAs (AMHL) this season.
- - - - -

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!)

Best go to sleep though... will update game summaries and et to work on  tomorrow glames as we,,==,

As for now, badly need to get to bed.! Ta -ta! More tomato whn I'm noyt passing out. Haha!

[Incomplete... but I need to get some rest, and finish this hopefully in the morning or at the latest, early afternoon today (Sunday) after 2 afternoon games are finished as soon as freakin' possible... but thought I would post what I have thu far...]

AJHL update - Jan 11th-13th

<In progress and has been a saved draft for the nearly 2 days now. I am badly going without sleep... 3.5 hours sleep out of the last, nearly 48 - I'm not even kidding, I don't know how I'm functioning now besides off sheer will to get caught up on these posts already!!! I was originally going to make a separate 13-14th post, but the plan changed.>

It is FULLY COMPLETE and LIVE now!!!

Apologies, but like the last even more delayed post (4th-9th one), I will not be including game summaries, just so I can get caught up. They will resume hopefully for games today (Wednesday, the 16th), and therefore I wont also be posting them on the 14th-15th post that has yet to be posted as even an incomplete post.

Scores from these 3 nights:

Jan 11th:

  1. Grande Prairie beat the Pontiacs 4-1 in Bonnyville.
  2. Canmore beat the Bandits 4-3 in a shootout in Brooks. Only the Bandits 1st home lose of the entire season.
  3. Calgary Canucks beat Drayton valley 3-2 in a shootout in the Max Bell Centre of SE Calgary.
  4. Kodiaks beat Sherwood Park 5-2 in Camrose.
  5. Whitecourt beat the Bobcats 5-3 in Lloydminster.
  6. Grizzlys beat the Calgary Mustangs 4-3 in Olds.
Jan 12th:
  1. Calgary Mustangs beat the Bandits 2-0 in Brooks. Only the Bandits first regulation loss at home, and 2nd regular loss of the entire season (after losing a game in grande Prairie in November) - damn good runs they had going, but perfection is never easy!
  2. Eagles beat Drayton Valley 5-2 in Canmore.
  3. Whitecourt beat the Pontiacs 5-3 in Bonnyville.
  4. Kodiaks beat Okotoks 1-0 in Camrose, in OT.
  5. Bobcats beat the Calgary Canucks 4-1 in Lloydminster.
  6. Grizzlys beat Drumheller 4-1 in Olds.
  7. The Oil Barons beat Grande Prairie 5-3 in #oldFortMcMurray.
Jan 13th:
- - - - -

Changes (as far as I know I didn't do those "yesterdays" & "todays" like in that 4th-9th post, I have like 1/3 of the post crossed out in the end... haha!):

Bonnyville:
*RW #12 Christian Nypower, is back down and played for the Cold Lake Ice (NEAJBHL) on Friday
*Wow, I'm surprisingly alert for only sleeping 3.5 of the last of the last 40 hours - G #33 Josh Bykowski (who I previously thought has just a listed/reserve/AP for the Pontiacs, was the backup on Jan 4th, to #31 Stephen Klein. I don't believe he was previously listed on their reserve with a jersey # - that's usually the 'poker tell' on the AJ stats site that the guy has dressed for a game - if he has a # listed even with 0 games played. He's been back down with the Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAAs (AMHL) since the 5th.

Brooks:
*LW #9 Mark Logan, who was out with "Lower body injury, status uncertain (was expected back November 12th-26th)", returned to the lineup for Brooks last night on the 11th.
*RD #22 Maddison Smiley, who is currently still listed as hurt on the AJ Brooks roster, is back and played for the game last night on the 11th (hopefully this is the day I will type "last night" and not have to change it to it's actually date name because it's now days old... haha!). He was out with "Upper body (likely shoulder) injury, expected back January 22nd - February 5th".
*Hmm... yesterday who knows what day it actually was now... I noticed he was listed as active on the Bandits roster but though there he just maybe had no been taken off the AJHL roster after he was sent to Saskatchewan or else I was just extremely sleep deprived... but, "short story, LONG" - RW #16 Alex Roberts is back with the team He only played one game with the Flin Flon Bombers (SJHL)... seriously - got to wonder if Flin Flon released him, or maybe (hey, it's definitely possible) he held out to got back to the best Jr team A in the country (even though they're on their first losing streak of the season now). Regardless, he played yesterday - Saturday, for the Bandits.

Calgary Canucks:
*Oilers C #25 Sam Plaquin, who was moved to Oilers reserves for a while now (since at least Dec 9th when I posted it onto EP), presumably was released and later picked up by the Canucks, now wearing #20 for the Canucks and played for them on the 5th & last night (Friday) as well.
*G #32 Colin Cooper, out day-to-day with cracked ribs as of Jan 10th. As I just updated onto the never-ending 4th-9th post (which I'll link in after I finally finish that bugger of a post! Haha!), G #31 Andrew Guglielmin is also out day-to-day... this team seriously has no luck this season! Luckily for them, their presumable 3rd stringer (as he's the only reserve G with any playing time) G #1 Jeff Orser, has the best goalie stats on the team in his 2 games played (see stats). Cooper did return Saturday to pick up a loss to the Bobcats.
*RD #7 Owen Johnson, was back up with the Canucks playing last night. He also will likely be back down today with the Calgary Buffaloes Midget AAAs (AMHL) for tomorrow, as all AMHL teams appear to be playing tomorrow. As expected, he was down Saturday and playing with the Buffaloes.
*#-less F Spencer Bender, is now listed as a Canucks reserve/AP. He currently plays for Calgary Royals Midget AAA (AMHL).
*#-less D Zach Fowles, is now listed as a Canucks reserve/AP. He currently plays with Edge School (Prep), members of the CSSHL (Canadian Sport School Hockey League) & MPHL (Midwest Prep Hockey League).
*#-less LD/F Evan Reid, is now listed as a Canucks reserve/AP. He currently also plays with Calgary Royals Midget AA (AMHL).
*LD #36 Nicholas Herman, was back up and playing for the Canucks last night also..
*As of Jan 11th as listed on the AJ Canucks roster currently, C #12 Clayton Petrie is out day-to-day with a concussion. Strangely he's listed as playing on Saturday, but not on Sunday's game so because of that I will keep him listed as out.
*Due to the above mentioned G injuries, the Canucks have had a bit of a carousel going on... on Friday, 3rd stringer (as I've dubbed him) #1 Jeff Orser started with recently added AP/reserve Curtis Bowman - who is up from CRAA Gold Midget AA (HCMAA - standing for Hockey CGY Midget AA, as I had it added onto EP long ago) backing up, wearing #32. Orser was back with the Calgary Northstars Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday. Bowman was listed as an AP as late as Dec 19th when I first listed it on EP, but very well could have been a backup G before the 12th - I have way too much to do now to go check the game sheets for Dec now though; but as far as I remember he was not recalled until recently. Bowman could very well have been back to the HCMAA as the Royals Gold team had a game Sunday, but the game sheet has yet to be added as see on this link (as of currently 12:33pm MST Monday). Okay, as for Saturday the 12th - the above mentioned G #32 Colin Cooper started and the above mentioned Bowman was backup (though his # is listed as blank as Cooper wore #32... so no clue what # Bowman switched to), as for yesterday - Sunday the 13th, Cooper again started, but the carousel continued, with previously utilized backup AP/reserve G #1 Cody Befus was back from the Calgary Rangers Jr. B CalJHL (CGY Jr. B league). Frig, I'm going to need to check game sheets everyday for the Canucks to keep track of their movements until/if they ever get healthy - it's crazy! It's getting hard not to feel bad for this team! How they've even kept in the South Division playoff race, is simply incredible! Okay, back to Befus... he could have been back with the Rangers team for Sunday, but like the HCMAA game above mentioned, the CalJHL game for the Rangers yesterday hasn't been listed yet either (as of 12:48pm Monday).
*RD/F #40 Erik Kardash, went back down and played for the Calgary Flames Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Sunday.
*LD #7 Jake Dube, went back down and played for UFA Bisons (AMHL) since Saturday.
*As I was hinting in the Calgary Mustangs part/area below, I just came across a former AJHLer in the CalJHL, or at least listed on a team's stats/roster - former Canucks C/RW #7 Gui Glasspoole. He's currently listed with no games played so far with CRAA Gold's Jr. B team, but with #7 - probably the best indication he really is there, as they don't seem to just list #s for everyone in the league, though this team does have two other guys with #s that have played no games... hmm. Well, he's listed there, so that what matters now.

Calgary Mustangs:
*G #31 Talor Joseph is gone. Why, I do not know... but in his time with the Mustangs he was just a bench warmer (backup), unfortunately for him, and he never did dress in game action for the Mustangs. Not sure if it was injury, difference of opinions, or he was perhaps acquired to be dealt elsewhere. What I do know, is that he is apparently going to an SIJHL team, from a tweet on his account made early Sunday morning (thanks to a tweet made by his girlfriend). Which team, I do not currently know as he has not played or is listed on any teams roster yet, unfortunately. I used to love the SIJHL transactions link back when they were with Pointstreak - it listed absolutely everything! Their new one... is sad! According to it, no one in the league has been traded or added since... October 26th... yeesh! Anyways though, will pass a message to my SIJHL contact and post it in later. ... he replied to me instantly... haha! His (Talor's) new team is the Fort Frances Lakers, per my nice SIJHL source Lucas Punkari.
*Newly added G Travis Beekhuizen, who I mentioned being signed in the still belated completion of the Jan 4th-9th post, has been given Talor Joseph's olds #31, that was also worn by G Jake Tamagi earlier this season before being traded to Olds, for aforementioned Joseph.
*Hmm, another new move to me... Mustangs D #24, and former Canucks captain Devin Dambrauskas is no longer with the Mustangs as his profile has been hidden (therefore he's no longer in the AJ either). Will check the Jr B league... as I'm not finding a Twitter for him. The CalJHL search came up with nothing on Dambrauskas... but I did find a familiar AJHL name listed on a CalJHL team's stats.
*Looks like the Mustangs likely cut another 20 year old, as F/D #5 Doug McDonald has had his profile hidden as well. There's far too many Doug McDonald's for me to bother scrolling through all them on Twitter, so will check the CalJHL for him too quick. No luck... and it's a hopeless Google search for him with a new team. For now, like Dambrauskas, I do not know where he's at now or if he is still playing organized hockey.
*#-less RW Evan Pugh, whom I believe was called up in Dec (as listed on EP profile) as he was listed on the Mustangs active roster briefly, has been de-listed from the Mustangs active or reserve roster. Strangely if you search his profile, his AJ profile still lists him as with the Mustangs. He could have been disconnected by the staff by accident (heck I think I even accidentally disconnected an AP from the Storm reserves temporarily, when I was first learning how to do things in the staff login), but for the time being as he's not showing up on the Stangs active or reserve roster from stats, and as he never played a game for them, I'll take him off the EP roster for the time being.

Camrose:
*A very nice anonymous tipper, sent in a transfer tip to me/us on EP of a link that states LD Layne Viveiros has now joined the Camrose Kodiaks, from the WHL's Portland Winterhawks for the remainder of the season. He ended up playing last night for the Kodiaks, wearing #17 and adding 2 assists. I would have got to this now before Friday's games I hope, but the email definitely sped up listing it.
*As also listed on the Kodiaks recent news, LW #17 Scott Feser, has been recalled by the WHL's Red Deer Rebels for the remainder of the season.
*Callup LD #5 Mark Nerland was back down with the UFA Bisons Midget AAAs (AMHL) and played there Saturday.
*I'm not sure when it happened, but the Kodiaks updater(s) added in a slough of new APs to the roster recently, and I totally love it! If I ever get the information and opportunity I'm so doing this for the Storm too! But anyways, 4 new AP/reserves listed for the Kodiaks:
 - #-less LD Jake Kohlhauser, currently with St. Albert Raiders Midget AAAs (AMHL) - AJHL profile.
 - #-less RW Craig Lynes, currently with Camrose Vikings Midget AAs (AMHL) - AJHL profile.
 - #-less LD Andrew McCann, currently with CRAA Gold Minor Midget AAAs (AMMHL) - AJHL profile.
 - #-less LD Lukas Pollock, currently with Airdrie Lightning Midget AAs (SCAHL) - AJHL profile.

Canmore:
*Caught me as a bit of a surprise here now, but former WHLer RW #13 Nils Moser is now on reserves. Seriously...
I contacted one of my Eagles sources (different one from the Jan 4th-9th post) and was told that the lower body injury he suffered in January was actually a broken foot, and he's out indefinitely but they're hopeful on a return for the playoffs. He was moved onto reserve I guess for the Eagles to free up a card, which definitely makes sense. Having flexibility for the playoff run is never a bad thing!
*LW #7 Carter Jensen is/was up with the Eagles and playing, at least for the 11th & 12th. Up from CRAA Gold Jr. B (CalJHL) presumably... he last played prior for of all places, the Comox Valley Glacier Kings of BC's Jr. B VIJHL (Vancouver Is.) on Dec 21st, but is listed with with CRAA Gold on their current stats/roster with no games played and #16.
*Eagles injury update, thanks to a news article I came across while looking up info on Jensen: LD/F #6 Nik Kosman (Upper body injury is actually arm injury), LW/D #23 Austen Hebert (Knee injury) & RW #26 Kyle Pauls (Unknown, therefore "Unknown injury, status uncertain" to me) missed Saturday's game.
*Also mentioned in the above linked/mentioned article, G #35 Ty Swabb returned from injury (Lower body injury, status uncertain (was expected back by December 9th)) to play for the first time in 2 and a half months.

Drumheller:
*Though currently #-less on the Dragons AJ roster (well, with a #0 as there seemed to be some site wide change, where all blank #s turned into 0's on the AJ website, maybe all ESportsDesk sites), C Harrison Hendrix wore #5 in his first game with the Dragons on Saturday.
*F #19 Rory Davidson, as expected was back down playing with Red Deer Chiefs Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday.
*Exactly the same case as Davidson, for C #38 Dustin Gorgi.
*Like the last 2, LD #6 Tristan Thompson also went down to midget, but instead went to UFA Bisons Midget AAAs (AMHL) and played Saturday.
*Also back to midget is reserve/AP G #31 Garrett Storms, back in the lineup for Saturday for KC Colts Midget AAs of the NAMHL.
*Also as I found out from my source close to the Dragons, apparently from what they hear, last time the Dragons played in Brooks (Dec 14th), G #26 Brandon Stone wasn't happy about being pulled after allowing 3 goals on 5 shots at 7:54 into the game, and walked out on the team, and RW #37 Tanner Kissick later joined him for whatever reason. Of course, there could be a lot more to the story, but that is what I was told about their sudden departures.

Fort McMurray:
*LW Kevin Miller from Stony Plain, acquired from the BCHL's Nanaimo Clippers at yesterday Thursday's d-day - has as of yet (10:12pm... I don't even know exactly what day I typed that time now... haha!) not been added to the MOB's active AJ roster, which isn't a real surprise to me as often the team's rosters aren't updated by coaching staff until the team's next game. I suspect he'll likely be added by 8pm game time tomorrow night vs Storm in Fort Mac. He does have a currently inactive his AJHL profile was in the system already though, from his 2010-12 AP games with Spruce Grove, totaling 4GP 1G 1A 2Pts 0PIM. The MOB staff must have found it upon adding him to active - which definitely makes it easier to find stats than making a duplicate, which sometimes happens. I cant remember who offhand, but I know of one player that if you search them, you find 4 clone profiles. Anyways, about Miller, he was given #11 and played Saturday night in the MOB's win over Grande Prairie.
*I'm not sure if it was done by accident, or if these players have definitely returned from injury, but LD/F #7 Mike Green (Concussion, expected back in late January) & recently AP'd (from regular player card) F #15 Jordan Clark, are no longer listed as injured on the AJ MOB roster. But, like I got used to when doing NHL daily updates (which I doubt I will continue for this season, weekly at most... maybe nothing at all) - I wont remove them as injured on EP until I see them in the lineup again.
*Also, as I never did get to a pre-game notes post on the GP Storm game broadcast in #oldFortMcMurray (as I kept hastagging) vs the Oil Barons... RD/F #25 Joey Stadnicki suffered an injury from a hard hit I believe in the 1st period Saturday, so I just listed his likely injury on EP as "Apparent shoulder injury, status unknown but went to hospital due to injury Jan 12th". Will update it with more when/if I find out about more.

Grande Prairie:
*As I first found out from a Twitter message with him, C/RW #23 John Webb, is with the Storm on their currently road trip that ends tonight in Fort McMurray; with the team from the Sexsmith Vipers of the NWJHL.
*RW #14 Jade McMullen missed the game on the 11th in Bonnyville due to a 'minor hip injury' I believe. I thought I wrote/typed the exact injury down somewhere, but apparently not. "'Bit of a hip injury', status uncertain" (as I typed in the only place I didn't check - his EP injury status .. d'oh! Haha!). Regardless though, Jade returned to the Storm lineup Saturday vs Fort McMurray, per what Jeff said on the game broadcast.
*C#7 Sam Lawson, missed the game Saturday vs Fort McMurray, due to a 1 game suspension due to receiving his 2nd instigator penalty in the game the night before in Bonnyville, per what Jeff said on the game broadcast.
*New Storm LD Riley Van Horne, has been assigned the well used #6 - originally worn by RD Scott Nordstrom before being dealt to Melfort for more playing time (but as I just found out - Scott has apparently been let go recently from Melfort...). It's since also been wore by LD Allan MacPherson, and most recently LD Kye McKinney on the 11th in Bonnyville.
*LW/C #18 Cameron Brezinski, was back playing for Knights of Columbus Midget AAAs (AMHL) Saturday.
*F #26 Parker Sharp, was back playing for the Beaverlodge Blades (NWJHL) on Saturday.

Lloydminster:
*D #26 Stefan Freter, was up and played Friday, from Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAAs (AMHL), but Freter also was back in the lineup for the Midget AAA Bobcats the following day.
*Recently acquired twin, LW Mitch McNamara, was assigned #22.
*Other recently acquired twin, C Liam McNamara, was assigned #18.
*C #19 Ryley Wozniak, was up playing with the Bobcats for Friday & Saturday, from the St. Paul Canadiens (NEAJBHL).
*Before I forget again - the Bobcats made some captaincy changes after the deadline deals: D #25 Grant Baker became captain, RW #14 Austin McDonald was added as an A, and he joined F #17 Dustin Lebrun & LD #3 Jordyn Wozniak.

Okotoks:
*C #25 Tanner Ockey has returned from injury (Lower body injury, expected back Jan 9th-30th) and played Saturday & Sunday.
* Recently added LD Connor Sutton, has been assigned #6.
*LW #20 Sheldon Rempal was/is up and played Sunday for the Oilers, and is currently still listed on active AJ Oilers roster (Monday 1:40PM MST).
*LW #14 Eric Krienke, was back playing with the Calgary Northstars Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday.
*C #18 Matt Forchuk, was back playing with the UFA Bisons Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday.
*Most recent #18, LW Jack Goranson was back down playing Saturday, for the Red Deer Chiefs Midget AAA (AMHL) team.

Sherwood Park:
*RD #25 Nick Charif, was sent back to SSAC Athletics Midget AAAs (AMHL) for a game Sunday.
*C #26 Darcy Zaharichuk, was back playing with Sherwood Park Kings Midget AAAs (AMHL), for a game on Saturday.
*RW/D #12 Aaron Tiessen, was back with that very same Kings team, and played just as Zaharichuk did, on Saturday.
*Cru captain F #19 Eric Liknes' injury info was updated, but I have no idea when exactly. I just thought it seemed odd that he was still out of the lineup, and sure enough - this is what I had on EP about him: "Lower body injury, expected back December 28th - January 4th (basically until 2013 part of season, with Xmas break)". I'm pretty sure I got that from the 'red cross' on the AJ Cru roster, as I don't really have any contacts around there. Anyways though, from what the red cross says now I've changed me listing to "Lower body injury suffered Dec 14th, out indefinitely". Speaking of him though - does anyone have any clue where he played bantam and earlier midget? I have no luck whatsoever using Google searches like: "Eric Liknes" hockey 2008. It's seriously almost like he just magically appeared one day. The only real thing I can find supposedly about him is this absolute nonsense of a link from 07-08. I don't think much of anything there can be verified though... haha! Gives a person a good laugh though!
*F #22 Ryan Kruper, has been back from "2 game suspension for kneeing, eligible to return Jan 11th", since that very Jan 11th.

Spruce Grove - I am not sure how long these 3 have been on the Saints active roster for, exactly... but:

*Listed in the screenshot are RW #14 (was #25) Brett Smythe, up from the St. Albert Raiders Midget AAAs (AMHL), but played for them on the 12th and returned to the Saints lineup on Sunday, the 13th. He's pretty likely back with the Raiders again today, as they're playing tonight.
*LD #4 (was #3) James Vermeulen, up from also the St. Albert Raiders Midget AAAs (AMHL).
*G #35 Tyler Fuhr, who was assigned to an unspecified AJHL team from the WHL's Vancouver Giants on the 6th, was later signed and added by the Saints.
*LW #17 Doug Morris, has a 'red cross', on his profile. To me it means: "Upper body injury suffered Jan 5th, expected back by 26th"
*RW #14 (was #37 - I only noticed the change from looking on the Jan 9th game sheet as the reserve roster lists him as a #0 now) Tyler Mrkonijc, was back playing with the St. Albert Raiders Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday.
*D/F #4 Cole Nicholson, was back playing with the Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAAs (AMHL), on Saturday.
*LD #3 James Vermeulen, was back playing with the St. Albert Raiders Midget AAAs (AMHL) on Saturday.

Whitecourt:
*The unfortunate player carousal the Wolverines have had going due partly to [of course, the trade deadline, but also] major junior departures of G #1 Jared Rathjen (who was added by the WHL's Vancouver Giants, though is having a pretty rough ride thus far back in the dub, with 2Gms, a 5.50 GAA and a hurtin' .825 save %) and LD/C #25 Mathieu Gagnon (added by the QMJHL's Shawinigan Cataractes - I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly, GM/Head Coach Joey Bouchard, mentioned on the intermission interview with Jeff Henson Wednesday in between the GP Storm vs Wolverines game in Whitecourt broadcast on 104.7 Free FM GP, that Gagnon wanted to go back home to be closer to family to finish out his junior hockey career); just took another hit on d-day, when C/LW #10 Jason Trott was also added to the Vancouver Giants active roster joining his relatively new teammate, Rathjen.
*I noticed this some days ago, but LD #4 Landon Hall has either has his card passed or has been made an affiliate with the expansion Fairview Flyers of the NWJHL. I'm not sure exactly when I noticed, but I never got to making a note of it on the blog here it seems. Anyways though, he did in fact play a game with them already, playing Friday night, wearing #18. Wait a minute... someone goofed up here... there's no way he dressed for both games... Wolverines game started in Lloyd at 7:30pm. No way he coulda possibly hopped a supersonic and made it to Sexsmith for 8pm, especially when he had an assist in the game in Lloyd in the 2nd period which should have been after 8pm... haha! Looks like I should just emailed the N-dub about this one... likely just an honest mistake by an updater though - clicked a check box he shouldn't have when adding the game roster. It's easy enough to do when updating the game sheets, as I've updated them myself a few times already. Anyways, for the time being - I go with what is listed, even though obviously not 100% accurate. Hall was listed as back with Fairview in Sexsmith at 8pm Friday, then was back in the Wolverines playing roster again the following day in Bonnyville.
*LD #25 (as listed on 13th's game sheet, previously wore #5) Jordan Davies, as I said in the brackets, was up playing for the Wolverines on Sunday. Wow, to begin with I thought there was another goof up... but this set of close game times is definitely a likely probability of one. Davies played for his hometown Sherwood Park Kings Midget AAA team (AMHL) in Sherwood Park at 11:30am, at Sherwood Park Arena (I thought it was a twin arena? I've never fully been in SP, so not for sure on that); so game should be done around say 2pm. Just enough time to clean up, flood the ice, and have the Wolverines/Cru game start at 2:15. I remember a similar AMHL/AJHL occurrence like this happening on a Sunday in Lloydminster for a Bobcats Midget AAA (AMHL) player playing in the after, then dressing shortly after for the Jr. A Bobcats against the visiting GP Storm, as I listened to the game. I'd look up exactly who it was... but I'm behind enough now.. hehe! I'm pretty sure off memory, it was Bobcats F #12 Steenn Pasichnuk, in an early season game when the Storm played in Lloydminster.
*LD #26 Mitchell Cunningham, was up and playing for the Wolverines on the 11th & 12th, and back playing with his SSAC Athletics Midget AAA (AMHL) team the following day.
*Random note for me... wow, I can really tell I'm behind on full league updating... I don't remember LW #15 Mathieu Guertin & C #19 Jerome Raymond being over 60 points... holy crap!
*C #89 Charles Inglis, who was out with a day-to-day flu, per my Whitecourt updater friend (Jeff said on the Storm broadcast that it was a back injury, and in my overtired state at the time I originally posted it on EP as a knee injury... haha! This is why a person should be on stable, humane hours, like I incredibly have been the last 2 days. Anyways, Inglis returned to the lineup for the 3 straight road games in 3 nights, stretch from Friday-Sunday. I ended up doing some serious research earlier, as it bugged me that we didn't have any midget or bantam stats on Inglis' EP profile prior to me adding 3 rows in earlier.
*Newly acquired LD Dale Deon has been given #5. Somewhat surprisingly he's yet to play for the Wolverines according to their AJ stats/roster. But of course... he is moving just about the entire way across the country (Summerside Western Capitals, of the MHL).
*Also newly acquired, C Jess Tanguy, has been assigned #17. Unlike Deon, Tanguy has played, with 4Pts (2G, 2A) in 3 games.
*Also newly acquired, G Anthony Terenzio, has been give the well worn G #1 for the Wolverines... worn previously by Kris Drott (prior to being traded to the MJHL's Winkler Flyers), Jared Rathjen (who rights were traded in the dub, and he went back to the Vancouver Giants), along with AP/reserves/emergency backups Anthony Hamill  (from Fort Saskatchewan Rangers Midget AAA, AMHL) & Cole Saunders (from Spruce Grove Regals, CapJHL). Heck, the Wolverines goalie stats area is like a goalie directory - 9 goalies have dressed for them, at least that I'm aware of... there could very well have been another before I was in touch with the Whitecourt updater.
*Recent backup G #1 Anthony Hamill, was back playing with the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers Midget AAAs (AMHL) as of Saturday.

***** Note to anyone reading these posts: If you come across any player out of date sizes and/or even with stats missing for bantam & midget especially (few leagues list peewee stats, even fewer have I gotten closer to adding peewee stats for) and you know of them or have a source for that missing year(s) - feel free to comment here or Twitter and I'll get them up as soon as I can. I know there's a lot of AJHL vets that have missing early years of stats, as in the early years on EP I wasn't aware of the league stats & archive sources I am now. So it's kind of a continuous project, when I come across guys with out of date/missing early years - I update them in and fix it proper as soon as I can. Just something to keep in my - I will most certainly appreciate the help there!

<In progress and has been a saved draft for the nearly 2 days now. I am badly going without sleep... 3.5 hours sleep out of the last, nearly 48 - I'm not even kidding, I don't know how I'm functioning now besides off sheer will to get caught up on these posts already!!! I was originally going to make a separate 13-14th post, but the plan changed.>
