Wow... definitely never would of thought I could be away from blog posts for 4 days, but hey it happened! I guess I got a good unintentional break the last few days, but I've really got to start taking advantage of this final week off before it is totally over!
Anyways, brief notes I've come across, listed on a sticky note here in front of me (besides the final 2 bits):
Okotoks:
*C #25 Tanner Ockey was carded and added for rest of season, from Calgary Royals Midget AAA (AMHL), but is out 3-6wks with lower body injury, per Gino De Paoli Twitter Direct Message to me (as of the 19th, therefore: Lower body injury, expected back Jan 9th-30th). He had 12 points (6G, 6A) in his 18 AMHL games this season, along with 10 PIMs.
*He, Gino, also told me that Kyle Krabben was a healthy scratch their 2nd last game and played their final game of the season.
Olds:
*D #5 Connor Bass, normally a D, played F for the final AJHL game of the 2012 season last Sunday, per Galen Hartviksen per radio broadcast of game I tuned into online.
Whitecourt:
*Per that same Wolverines stats updater via Twitter DM's that I mentioned in the 21st-23rd posts - currently unlisted callup for that game, as the 18th skater (as he doesn't have ability to add new players to roster, only coaching staff does from what he told me); LW Jacob Schofield, wore #5 and from a later DM from the Wolverines stats updater, Schofield had no recorded points or penalty minutes in that game. Hopefully the coaching staff will get to adding him onto the game sheet/roster/stats though, to give him credit for the game played/callup on the AJHL website - but for now, he at least is getting that credit on EP.
***Possible free agent RW Jayden Hart (probably already carded) - who is a former AJHL one-gamer (Spruce Grove Saints in 2010-11) likely coming [back] to the AJHL. From a very trusted reliable source of mine, Hart has left the Medicine Hat Tigers and returned home to Spruce Grove. He played that one game in 2010-11 as what should have been an AP (it's not marked on that profile, but as he played Midget AAA with the AMHL's St. Albert Raiders for all but that game, and two with the WHL's Medicine Hat Tigers - one can presume he was AP). So because of that, no guarantee he's signed/carded by the Saints, but as he's from Spruce Grove - one can only guess he'll likely make a 2013 AJHL debut with the Saints.
Also, though he never did play in the AJHL - G Liam Liston, from St. Albert, has retired from the Vancouver Giants. I first found out Boxing Day from a tweet from reporter Steve Ewen, which was retweeted late that night by Liston himself, and confirmed in a media release by the Giants the following day. The same source as above, said Liston has indicated plans to attend the U of A, but I'm not 100% sure if it means student or student/athlete for the Golden Bears - though have added it as a possible rumour onto EP for now.
And that's all for the AJ in 2012. Now, here's REALLY hoping I'll get done a whole heck of a lot of catchup in the last week off, out of GP til the Storm are back playing at least... oh crud, I knew there was at least a game on Thursday the 3rd, but turns out there's only 1 game on the previous day (Wednesday, then 2nd), then 2 on Thursday, then likely all the other teams that didn't get back playing Wednesday and Thursday will be back by Friday's game and almost certainly Saturday's.

AJHL scores & summary - Dec 14th
I'm dead tired, so I have a feeling I may try to rush this and may not link everything in or add labels until after I badly needed long sleep... but, here goes for now...
Games from tonight (summaries likely after sleep)
Changes/moves:
Drumheller - no known changes. Just thought I'd mention.
Brooks:
*#-less LW Kyler Nachtigall, now listed/AP-ed/on reserve... hmm, sounds like they maybe got some injuries now... if there's 2 of the listed/AP-ed/reserve guys already up, and a new guy is added with the team. Will find out in moment if anyone else is listed with a 'known injury' by the Bandits updater(s) though.
*D #22 Maddison Smiley... not officially listed as hurt by a Brooks updater on the AJHL's Bandits roster... yet at least... but, he did not play tonight for the Bandits. Looks like mattie's post on the AJHL forum about him likely being out, was seemingly accurate!
*LW #16 Ben Assad & C #25 Landon Welykholowa (who I only re-mention mainly as I accidentally forgot to enter their jersey #s on EP) as expected, played last night for the Bandits.
Spruce Grove:
*D #4 Kaleb Denham has been back with Red Deer Chiefs Midget AAA (AMHL) since Dec 9th.
*Also D #4 Clayton Kirichenko, back up with Saints last night and played, from Sherwood park Kings Midget AAA (AMHL).
Sherwood Park - no known changes I know of
Lloydminster - no known changes I know of either
Grande Prairie - who've yet to play an AP/reserve skater all season, do have 1 known change:
*C/RW #23 John Webb - out with an undisclosed injury. I didn't catch what or how long as I was so distracted by getting the FastHockey computer setup & working pre-game tonight I forgot to turn on the game radio broadcast until just before the 1st period. Awaiting a text/Twitter response about it though.
Olds - no known changes to my knowledge
Calgary Mustangs - no known changes to my knowledge
Canmore:
*G #39 Forrest Ayearst - I've spoke of his uncertain status a few times, since being de-listed by his HJHL team Cochrane Generals somewhere around Dec 3rd, but for the life of me cannot find the last blog post about it, probably because I'm crazy overtired. Anyways though, have a little theory about what may be going on with him... he had a rough ride in the HJ this season (3gms 5.80GAA .853sv%) so I've kind of been thinking he either quit the team and decided to go back home (which just so happens to also be Canmore) or likelier he was released and likely returned home. Both seem definitely possible. I wasn't able to find much for stats on him either... if I'm not mistaken I could swear I found information on him in an adult league (we don't really list adult league stats - senior league ones though - kind of a fine line between those) but never added it onto his profile. Not going to worry about it now though as I'm dead tired; but as for why I'm talking about him in this entry at all, which also supports both possible theories/scenarios if he returned to Canmore - he just so happened to play for the Eagles tonight... and he got roughed up pretty badly! A total of 6mins, 9.92GAA, and a hurtin' .500sv%... not that starter G #30 Cam Barnes had a much better night though... nearly 54mins with a 6.72GAA and a .7857sv%... Camrose really rolled over them last night!
*Their other G #39 James Fisk, was back with the Airdrie Thunder (HJHL) last night picking up a win against Three Hills.
Camrose - no known changes to my knowledge
Whitecourt:
*RD/F Michael Claffey has been given #9. He's listed on the Wolverines reserves now... so not sure if it's a sign he's back with the Spruce Grove Regals (CapJHL), or if he was just added to the roster on the reserve and will stay there while playing for the Wolverines - will be checked the Regals profile of his from now til he maybe returns there though anyhow.
Fort McMurray:
*No real/new changes at all, but as I mentioned in the last post (Fort McMurray section):
"*Not really a change, but the next MOB game tomorrow night will be after the 4-6 week range for return for LD #4 captain Brock Maschmeyer's from fractured/broken thumb injury. Same is the case for LW/C #20 Justin Fraser's fractured/broken jaw (excited expected out for 6 weeks). Yikes... LD/F #7 Mike Green (Concussion, expected back Nov 21st-28th) & C #11 Harrison Hendrix (Knee strain, expected back Nov 30th) are both a half month overdue. #-less D Jordan Clark overdue on Fractured tibia/ankle injury, status uncertain (was to be back by November 24th) - as I already noticed him overdue prior to this check. Not good for the Oil Barons..." - all 5 of them are now overdue... yikes!
- - - -
Also recent development I found involving player last know to be playing in the AJHL - Paul Lamoureux:
And that is all for this post... finally!
Games from tonight (summaries likely after sleep)
- Bandits beat Drumheller 6-2 in Brooks.
- Spruce Grove beat Crusaders 1-0 in Sherwood Park.
- Storm beat Lloydminster 4-1 here in GP - a 'sort of' summary on the AJHL forum I typed earlier while still fairly more awake (if you're a Bobcat fan and know what happened in the 3rd, I wouldn't click this to relive it! You've been warned.).
- Calgary Mustangs beat Olds 3-2 in OT at the Father David Bauer Arena in NW Calgary.
- Kodiaks more than double up Canmore 7-2 in Camrose.
- Whitecourt really did double up on Oil Barons 6-3 in Fort McMurray.

Also recent development I found involving player last know to be playing in the AJHL - Paul Lamoureux:
Well that final tweet of Paul's before I finally just resigned to the fact he wasn't going to be back with an AJHL team this season (at least right away - anything can happen between now and the deadline of course, and a person could even get released and re-signed after if I remember correctly) and finally removed him from the Spruce Grove 'list' on my AJHL inter-league trade/move .txt file; proved to be 100% reliable and accurate.
He did infact land in Ontario, as our NOJHL updater just posted on EP - he played his first game with North Bay Trappers last night.

AJHL score from tonight & changes/moves - Dec 13th
Only 1 AJHL game tonight and it was something else!
Oilers beat Calgary Canucks 7-1, at the Pason Centennial Arena in Okotoks.
As I first find out on the AJHL forum from a post about it by pabloamigo:
by pabloamigo » Thu Dec 13, 2012 11:38 pm
To which I replied:
Holy crap... and I thought you were just kidding or messing around until I looked... very sad situation there! I could see if all their listed/AP guys were playing elsewhere tonight (midget AAA, minor midget AAA, Jr B, etc) ... but come on, they should be able to find more guys willing to play from somewhere. Heck, if the Saints have a whole 'team' worth of listed players/APs (if anyone is not aware of this:http://ajhl.ca/statistics/north_divsion ... aints.html - then check/click their reserve roster... seriously, they do have a full team of listed players - hehe! :D ... from their earlier season injury chaos...) - what in the heck was preventing the Calgary Canucks from doing the same thing hey?
Geez... 14 skaters - I guess if it's any consolation, at least they had 2 healthy (as least as far as I know backup Guglielmin is healthy) goalies. I've seen and heard of skaters having to dress as backups before and even get in game action as well (http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/jrhock ... 15418.html)... hehe! I'm pretty sure it happened in a Jr A game in the last few seasons as well.
Some real problems for the Calgary Canucks these days, due mainly to their 'injury plague'... but, now that I think about this though... I have to wonder if maybe the Canucks did have APs up that just weren't added to the game sheet/AJHL profiles, by the Canucks stats updater(s)... just a theory of course, but considering what happened with the Wolverines roster on the game sheet the other night - it's a definite possibility.
But as for the game... unfortunately for the Canucks, it resembled their game against Brooks the other day fairly well, by the game sheet. Brooks scored 6 more goals that night mind you, in the highest goal output in the AJHL by far since I started this blog; but heck, the shots were just about the same in that game as this one. Brooks outshot them 39-13 that night, and tonight there were outshot 41-16 by Okotoks. I'm honestly semi-baffled by their 3rd period... with 14 skaters, they were only outshot 10-5 (best period of the game, in comparison to the Oilers' output) and allowed only 2 more goals - would figure they'd be dead, dog tired, byprobably definitely being double and possibly triple shifted. LW #24 Mitch Amatto (2G, 1A - anyone know if he is brother of former NWCAA Stampeders Jr B (CalJHL) player Jordan Amatto, who I just became aware of?), C #9 Spencer Kryczka (1G, 2A), and C #26 Braeden Salverda (3A), all with 3 points for the Oilers.
- - - - -
Moves:
Also to back up what I heard during the GP Storm radio broadcast of the game in/against Whitecourt, numerous times referred to by Jeff Henson, and what I posted about on blog post during game that night - Whitecourt did infact acquire a 'new d-man from the Q' per say. Jeff didn't say then per say, as far as I remember, that the guy was coming directly from the Q though. The guy coming in is RD/F Michael Claffey. I just archived in a couples of moves on him on EP (I kind of try and add in/archive in all Jr level moves I can on EP, to develop a player history/transaction archive, since the site started storing old transfers in the last season I believe), including him becoming listed/AP-ed again this season by Drayton Valley (while with the Spruce Grove Regals of the CapJHL - Capital Jr HL Jr B) after the same had happened last season prior to his camp release the OHL's Peterborough Petes, after he was added to their pre-season camp - and before that he was playing Spruce Grove (AJHL version) after being with the QMJHL's Shawinigan Cataractes (2009 - early of 11/12 season). Things were a little buggered up in the transactions history, so I've since edited things a bit to hopefully make it all look right.
Okay... along with Claffey's addition, the Wolverines also traded captain C #16 Jamie Johnson (strangely they didn't mention anyone was traded away in their media release - and spelled Claffey wrong... hehe - geez guys, should know how to spell your own players names! hehe! ;) only joking/bugging of course) for SJHL's Melville Millionaires D Landon Hall (who was listed in above Wolverines media release). Hall by the way, was born in Stony Plain from what I previously gathered while he was briefly with the Grande Prairie Storm in the September 2010's preseason schedule. I first found out about Claffey/Hall in a repost of the Wolverines media release on the AJHL forum, by canuck88 earlier; and only found out about Johnson being traded away from a Gino De Paoli (Okotoks play-by-play) tweet. As I've said in the past on the AJHL forum, "Play-by-play guys are like 'AJHL gods' in my books", for their close to 100% accuracy. He tweeted prior to that Johnson was apparently released, according to what he was seeing on social media. Regardless of what fully transpired - Whitecourt gains D's Claffey & Hall and traded Johnson to Melville.
- - - - -
Okay, now onto finally updating the stats onto EP from tonight's game, and any possible moves that are so far confirmed (speaking of the theory I mentioned above, about the Canucks roster from tonight - as the erroneous Wolverines one the other day was later updated a few times). To also back that above theory of mine a small bit - not one single AP currently listed (all are listed on the reserve roster, current screenshot below), was listed on the current game sheet roster for the Canucks (also screenshot below).
Kind of makes a person wonder, as almost all the AMHL games are played Friday-Sunday, therefore many if not all of these APs should have been available.
Have also tweeted the Calgary Canucks to see if I can get some sort of confirmation one way or another. If they really did only dress 14 skaters though... a person almost have to wonder if they're already given up on the season. Sure, they hold a 2pt lead on 8th place Canmore, but Canmore has 3 games in hand. Sounds funny I know, and I hope it's not true, but who knows...
- - - -
Haha... who'd have thought this blog post, for really a 1 game night, could have 4 parts to it... but oh well, it happened...
Roster changes from the game:
Calgary Canucks:
*LW #11 Devon Westby, though still listed with the injury 'red cross' on the Canucks current roster, and listed on the first of the 2 screenshots - Westby did play tonight, so is back from injury to me, from a day-to-day knee injury .
*Though I only noticed it while 'sifting through the Canucks current AJHL stats/roster on the AJ site after updating stats onto EP (I do this every single night, for every single team in action due to players 'appearing' or 'disappearing' from the stats/roster at will... one of the drawback of the Esportsdesk site, along with the inter-league trades)... D #10 Alex Marcinew also was in the game tonight and is also still listed on the AJ Canucks page with the 'red cross', back from a day-to-day knee injury.
*Of the APs I last had on the roster (as they haven't played another game elsewhere yet)... D #3 Zach Dietrich & RD #6 Deryk Sutherland's Calgary Northstars Midget AAA (AMHL) team is off from Sunday - Friday so they theoretically coulda/shoulda played tonight.
*RW #24 Alexander Mowbray & LW #3 Jack Berezan played Wednesday night for the Calgary Buffaloes Midget AAA (AMHL) so they're both back down, but again theoretically coulda/shoulda played tonight as they Buffaloes are off from Wednesday-Sunday. There's 4 guys alone that would complete the 18 man skater roster for the Canucks tonight... got to wonder about this.
Okotoks:
*LD #3 Kyle Krabben played last night as well, back from 'Upper body injury, status uncertain' as I had on EP, though still listed with a 'red cross' on the AJHL Oilers stats/roster
Confirmed/known injury changes (full list for standings and injuries here - and yes, as I mentioned before - I do know our map is out of date. Have emailed our photo staff about it numerous times to get updated ASAP, and messaged again about it and a few other things last night. They seem as bad, or even more backed up than me... currently 1,865 unread now, but I actually know people worse than that somehow... haha!):
Teams that either definitely don't, or appear not to (or are miraculously 100% healthy all the time... haha!), list injuries on AJHL site: Calgary Mustangs, Camrose, Drayton Valley (their injury I heard on Storm broadcast), Drumheller, Grande Prairie (definitely don't - those listed I know of personally or through close sources - like billets), Lloydminster (heard some on Storm broadcast, before), Olds, Whitecourt (once found out of one through a friend/forum source, and it never got listed on Wolverines roster either). Yikes, half the league... didn't think there were that many teams that didn't list/inform of injuries!
Calgary Canucks, were mentioned above - still though, at 7 confirmed out
Canmore - 6 still out
Fort McMurray:
*Not really a change, but the next MOB game tomorrow night will be after the 4-6 week range for return for LD #4 captain Brock Maschmeyer's from fractured/broken thumb injury. Same is the case for LW/C #20 Justin Fraser's fractured/broken jaw (excited expected out for 6 weeks). Yikes... LD/F #7 Mike Green (Concussion, expected back Nov 21st-28th) & C #11 Harrison Hendrix (Knee strain, expected back Nov 30th) are both a half month overdue. #-less D Jordan Clark overdue on Fractured tibia/ankle injury, status uncertain (was to be back by November 24th) - as I already noticed him overdue prior to this check. Not good for the Oil Barons...
Spruce Grove:
*Not a change really, but C #10 Sammy Spurrell (who is on my massive growing list of guys I need to look up earlier bntm/mdgt stats for... seriously, it's taking up most of the front on an envelope on my desk here... haha!) was supposed to be back by Dec 8th (Listed as out with upper body injury, expected back in 3 weeks)... still hasn't returned. So I updated him to "status uncertain".
And, now finally done with the AJHL tonight... geez, I got to find a way to get this totally finished earlier/quicker than 6am! Haha!
Oilers beat Calgary Canucks 7-1, at the Pason Centennial Arena in Okotoks.

*Of the APs I last had on the roster (as they haven't played another game elsewhere yet)... D #3 Zach Dietrich & RD #6 Deryk Sutherland's Calgary Northstars Midget AAA (AMHL) team is off from Sunday - Friday so they theoretically coulda/shoulda played tonight.
*RW #24 Alexander Mowbray & LW #3 Jack Berezan played Wednesday night for the Calgary Buffaloes Midget AAA (AMHL) so they're both back down, but again theoretically coulda/shoulda played tonight as they Buffaloes are off from Wednesday-Sunday. There's 4 guys alone that would complete the 18 man skater roster for the Canucks tonight... got to wonder about this.
Okotoks:
*LD #3 Kyle Krabben played last night as well, back from 'Upper body injury, status uncertain' as I had on EP, though still listed with a 'red cross' on the AJHL Oilers stats/roster
Confirmed/known injury changes (full list for standings and injuries here - and yes, as I mentioned before - I do know our map is out of date. Have emailed our photo staff about it numerous times to get updated ASAP, and messaged again about it and a few other things last night. They seem as bad, or even more backed up than me... currently 1,865 unread now, but I actually know people worse than that somehow... haha!):
Teams that either definitely don't, or appear not to (or are miraculously 100% healthy all the time... haha!), list injuries on AJHL site: Calgary Mustangs, Camrose, Drayton Valley (their injury I heard on Storm broadcast), Drumheller, Grande Prairie (definitely don't - those listed I know of personally or through close sources - like billets), Lloydminster (heard some on Storm broadcast, before), Olds, Whitecourt (once found out of one through a friend/forum source, and it never got listed on Wolverines roster either). Yikes, half the league... didn't think there were that many teams that didn't list/inform of injuries!
Calgary Canucks, were mentioned above - still though, at 7 confirmed out
Canmore - 6 still out
Fort McMurray:
*Not really a change, but the next MOB game tomorrow night will be after the 4-6 week range for return for LD #4 captain Brock Maschmeyer's from fractured/broken thumb injury. Same is the case for LW/C #20 Justin Fraser's fractured/broken jaw (
Spruce Grove:
*Not a change really, but C #10 Sammy Spurrell (who is on my massive growing list of guys I need to look up earlier bntm/mdgt stats for... seriously, it's taking up most of the front on an envelope on my desk here... haha!) was supposed to be back by Dec 8th (Listed as out with upper body injury, expected back in 3 weeks)... still hasn't returned. So I updated him to "status uncertain".
And, now finally done with the AJHL tonight... geez, I got to find a way to get this totally finished earlier/quicker than 6am! Haha!

AJHL roster moves - Dec 7th
Here goes another day of moves...
Drayton Valley:
*D #5 Colton Cassidy - no, he didn't move anywhere to my knowledge but I still have him on active on EP with DV as he's yet to play another game for Leduc Riggers (CapJHL - Jr B) since being called up for his lone AJHL game this season, let alone hasn't played hockey there since late September. Am beginning to wonder if he may be hurt and it's just not listed anywhere, kind of like how I only found out about Christian Nypower's injury status from a message from Robb Hunter (Voice of the Bonnyville Pontiacs), as I posted here about it a few days ago. Maybe someone from Drayton's staff might come across this or hear about it and fill me in too... hehe!
*G # 31 Wyatt Dewan - Just incase anyone wonders why I don't mention him up/have him on active DV roster on EP currently; yes I know he's currently listed on DV stats/roster on the AJHL site, but he has not dressed for the Thunder since he was in the St. Paul Canadiens (NEAJBHL - Jr B)'s lineup Nov 30th, at least according to what was inputted to the AJHL site. I checked the game sheets, and it's always been #1 Marc Olivier Daigle and #33 Mitch Maraschiello dressing in December so far. It's the same case with Connor Gaudreau on the Grande Prairie Storm roster (I'll mention more about him later).
*And as I posted earlier, Thunder called up RW #14 Braden Jakubowski & RD/F #5 Joel Webb, who both played.
Spruce Grove:
*RD #4 Clayton Kirichenko is listed on the SG reserve currently, but played last night (was up prior though), but will likely be back to Sherwood Park Kings Midget AAA (AMHL) tomorrow as they play their first game since Nov 29th.
*LW #14 Paul Lovsin - same case, but didn't play last night, and has game tomorrow for St. Albert Raiders Midget AAA (AMHL) he'll all but certainly play in.
*D/F #4 Cole Nicholson - same as Lovsin as he also didn't play last night, and is now on reserve on the AJHL's Saints roster, and will likely be back with Lloydminster Bobcats Midget AAA for game tomorrow.
Whitecourt:
*D #5 Jordan Davies - almost exact same case as Kirichenko, he was already up with Wolverines and he played last night for Whitecourt, and is on their reserve on the AJHL Wolverines' stats/roster. Likely will be back with the Sherwood Park Kings Midget AAA (AMHL) tomorrow too.
Okotoks:
*RW #17 Greg Lamoureux - back from injury and played last night (even though still listed as injured on the AJHL Oilers roster/stats).
*C #25 (previously #14 & #6) Tanner Ockey recalled from Calgary Royals Midget AAA (AMHL) as seen on screenshot below, so I guess he was called up but ended up being a healthy scratch. Likely temporary, as the Royals just so happen to also be playing tomorrow (not going to check, but it kind of looks as if the entire AMHL plays tomorrow/Saturday, honestly... hehe!). Awfully strange about the #25 though... as you can see on the link to the game for Okotoks on Lamoureux's topic - C Sam Plaquin wore #25 last night.... hmm very strange! Got to wonder if Plaquin is being dealt again or something...
Sherwood Park:
*F #16 Dillon Massie - I didn't totally realize it at the game tonight (thought something was up with him playing but had no idea what), but he played tonight in Grande Prairie, back from lower body injury.
*LW #39 Andrew Taverner switched from #21. Could have happened games ago, but I just realized it now. That was another thing I thought looked funny to me, but never put one and one together on it until now.
*As I posted earlier, Cru called up D #26 Isaac Farrah, and he played tonight, as well. Well hot damn... there's at least one AMHL team off tomorrow... haha! His midget team, MLAC Maple Leafs Midget AAA, doesn't play again until Sunday, so he might just be playing here in GP tomorrow night too.
Grande Prairie:
*No callups/APs which isn't too unusual, but LW #26 Jake Matkin has left the team and Storm captain RW #15 Taylor Cote is out for the weekend, as I posted earlier.
*As I posted earlier in this post, G #1 Connor Goudreau has been listed on the Storm's active stats/roster since well, since G #31 Curtis Skip was at the WJAC-19 in Nova Scotia, but he hasn't actually been a backup since a few games prior to Skip's return. Goudreau was backup Nov 2nd, 3rd, down to the Midget AAA Storm on the 6th, back up with the Jr. A Storm on the 8th, then back to the Midget AAA's on the 10th in Medicine Hat. G #1 Scott Legault was up with the Jr. A Storm on the 9th & 10th (though no backup G was listed on the online game sheet, no profile for Legault was created, and Legault cannot be found on AJHL search) - per Jeff Henson on the Free FM broadcast for the Storm; plus I have an email from the league to back it up. I was told that since he didn't play any minutes they weren't going to add a profile for Legault... which I find kind of strange, as they add profiles for everyone who dresses, includes reserves/AP that never actually get called up. Feel kind of bad for Legault because of that - and therefore list him on EP as with the Storm. Anyways though, Skip was back from Nova Scotia as backup on the 16th at home against Brooks, and neither Goudreau or Legault have been dressed for the Storm since... therefore Goudreau should be on reserve/de-listed from the Storm roster/stats now.
Anyways, enough on the AJHL for now... time to fully get caught up on the MJHL for me.
Drayton Valley:

Dec 7th AJHL scores
As I just posted on the AJHL forum, but more detailed here...
Oh yes, score for me - only 4 games to update this Friday instead of the 6 played last Friday... hehe! Am trying to get more with it and update the games and that at an a lot more reasonable time, so hopefully this is the start to that. Scores from tonight:
I just realized commenting was limited on the blog to only register OpenID/Google members - that's been changed/updated. Feel free to comment!

- Brooks beat Drayton Valley 4-2 in Brooks. Brooks came out to a 2-0 lead early in the 2nd, only to have Drayton tie it before the end of the frame... but an upset just wasn't meant to be, as Brooks scored 2 in the 3rd for the win
- Spruce Grove beat Whitecourt 3-2 in Whitecourt. Spruce Grove led most of the game besides midway into the first when the Wolverines tied in at 1 all, and until Spruce Grove scored the first of two in the 2nd midway through the period. Whitecourt ended up outshooting by 5 however.
- Okotoks beat Olds 3-2 in Olds. Wow, what a back and forth game there, Olds never led but tied it twice. Okotoks scored, then next goal was Olds, but they couldn't tie it a 3rd time. Okotoks outshot by a fair margin as well.
- Grande Prairie beat Sherwood Park 2-0 here in GP. Pretty close game to start from finish, but easily could have been 4 or 5 nothing if not for a few breaks the Crusaders got - off a goal post, and later a net dislodging when one went in - for examples. Kind of amusing empty netter goal though - not the prettiest, but it went in.
I just realized commenting was limited on the blog to only register OpenID/Google members - that's been changed/updated. Feel free to comment!

AJHL known injuries - Dec 6th
Known AJHL injuries, mainly thanks to what the team updaters postings (except the GP injuries I know personally as the updater doesn't list injuries here) and what I then posted on EP with expected return dates.

More AJHL updates - JC Heck & Paul Lamoureux
I wouldn't be surprised if JC Heck cracks the top 10 in PIM between now and even the trade deadline, after tonight's game against Brooks - 32PIM... haha, crazy!
I originally thought it was a typo by the Olds stats updater, until I looked at his profile to see he DID infact go from 4PIM in 4 games to 36PIM in 5 games.
A quick look at the penalty summary:
1st period:
then...
So, after that he's in the box until about the 5 minute mark in the 2nd, and though I have no clue for sure what transpired as I wasn't at the game, I wouldn't be surprised if he was maybe kept on the bench most of the period either.
Then things really got heated late in the game/3rd period from the Grizzlies end:
No idea what transpired - someone at the game maybe will be able to shed some light, but I find it strangely amusing that Hubbs got the misconduct with only 1 second left, and no Brooks player got anything, then the same for Heck but a game on top of it. Like... what the heck? Haha!
Anyways though, onto the other part of this...
The latest on potential Paul Lamoureux next team:
@bigjayhoughts lol I'm going to Ontario tomorrow , now that's actually beauty
posted 12 hours ago
Incase anyone from the AJHL forum wonders... I'm not obsessed with the guy or where he turns up - I just have him still listed on Spruce Grove on my inter-league trade list (a txt file) as a reserve (from Canmore to Spruce Grove - inter-league trade, to remind me to split stats if by some total shocker happens that he does dress for the Saints), as he hasn't shown up anywhere yet nor has any sort of hint about him quitting junior hockey. I'd take him off the list, but he hasn't officially gone anywhere else (nor left the AJHL), so I may as well keep checking up for now. Eventually it will get old for me if nothing happens, and I might just remove him from it by the trade deadline.
Surprisingly to me, there was no roster moves in the AJHL at all Tuesday. Lovsin and Nicholson showed up on the Saints roster the night before, but ended up playing against the Storm as well.
Now, onto another league's update for me.
I originally thought it was a typo by the Olds stats updater, until I looked at his profile to see he DID infact go from 4PIM in 4 games to 36PIM in 5 games.
A quick look at the penalty summary:
1st period:
| Olds Grizzlys at 11:20 - JC Heck for Roughing (2 Min.) |
then...
| Olds Grizzlys at 15:04 - JC Heck for Misconduct (10 Min.) |
| Brooks Bandits at 15:04 - Tyson McCallum for Misconduct (10 Min.) |
| Olds Grizzlys at 15:04 - Landon Kletke for Slashing (2 Min.) |
So, after that he's in the box until about the 5 minute mark in the 2nd, and though I have no clue for sure what transpired as I wasn't at the game, I wouldn't be surprised if he was maybe kept on the bench most of the period either.
Then things really got heated late in the game/3rd period from the Grizzlies end:
| Olds Grizzlys at 19:59 - Dylan Hubbs for Misconduct (10 Min.) |
| Olds Grizzlys at 20:00 - JC Heck for Misconduct (10 Min.) |
| Olds Grizzlys at 20:00 - JC Heck for Game Misconduct (10 Min.) |
No idea what transpired - someone at the game maybe will be able to shed some light, but I find it strangely amusing that Hubbs got the misconduct with only 1 second left, and no Brooks player got anything, then the same for Heck but a game on top of it. Like... what the heck? Haha!

AJHL updates from tonight
Two AJHL games tonight, on a usually slow Tuesday:
Before I forget about it... got to say, every time I heard Jeff Henson say "Saints" tonight during the Storm/Saints game on Free FM, all I could hear was "The Saints Are Coming" by the Skids (Ignore that John Travolta & Olivia Newton John caption with the #01... no idea what that's all about, but a clip of the band playing the song live follows), from the Boondock Saints movies - great shows and a classic song! Strangely enough, on a side note - both bands are even from Scotland... starting to become a mighty 'country' to me for legendary classic songs! Even could just switch that over to UK in general - I've become a huge fan of Joy Division in the last few years, as well. I'm even going to recommend it for the SG Saints if they don't know about it - honestly if they do, I'll be shocked - but damn impressed! Hehe! Honestly, I think this is a better find than the Chicago Blackhawks music crew getting the world hooked on "Chelsea Dagger", by the Fratellis! Heck, my find even says the actual team name! :D
If there's any AJHL roster movements for today, I'll post them later.
- Brooks Bandits beat Olds Grizzlies 4-3 in a shootout, at home - I congratulate the Grizzlies on being only the 3rd team to even get a point out of the mighty Bandits this season; the others - Camrose losing 2-1 in OT on Sept 21st in Brooks, the Mustangs losing 2-1 in OT on Nov 2nd also in Brooks, and of course my GP Storm knocking them off 4-1 here in GP Nov 16th! :D. Wow, only the 2nd time this year another team got a point against Brooks in their home arena too.
- Spruce Grove Saints beat Grande Prairie Storm also 4-3 and also at home, but no extra time required. Storm led most of the game either 2-0, or 3-2, and let it slip away with 2 late goals in a 1:52 I believe.
