WOW!!!


If this isn't the first word that the enters your mind when you walk inside of the Bruins brand new dressing room there is something wrong with you.

I posted a few pics, but honestly I'm not sure there's any pictures can do any justice on how beautiful the locker room is.

Bruins Trainer Gerry Apsen has spent about 1,072 hours since about June 10 inside of the locker room making sure it was ready for his boys, the Estevan Bruins. Gerry is one of the most beloved figures in the  Estevan Bruins history and it was a very special night to see the Bruins move into the locker room.

I'll post the interview I did with Dominic Perrault, a 20 year old player who has been with the Bruins while the locker room was being built, we also talked about the Showcase this weekend.

And there was a media scrum with Gerry Aspen, the trainer for the Bruins who by the way handcrafted all of the locker stalls. Unbelievable, a job well done Gerry!

The Bruins also have named the players who will be wearing the letters this season. Josh Jelinski will be wearing the C, while the 20 year olds Dominic Perrault, Derek Whitehill and Matt Dochylo will be wearing the A's.

I think there's no doubt Jelinski will make a great captain for the Bruins, I've said this many times but there's no player who works harder than Jelinski. Jelinski always plays like it's going to be his last shift, and always displays a hard work ethic. Jelinski is a vocal presence inside of the Bruins locker room and is always making sure the rest of the team stays motivated for the game.

Jelinski takes over the C from Troy Hunter, the two players were on the same line at the end of the season and I'm sure Jelinski learned a lot from Hunter, and I'm sure Hunter is more than happy to see that it's Jelinski taking over the C.

The one thing that should be noted when it comes to the Bruins and their leadership, the entire team believes they are leaders. All of the players have strong character and a great work ethic.

Looking forward to the Showcase, I'll have some kind of preview tomorrow morning.
