Weekly Winners/Quick Est-Kin Notes


After some delay I finally got some internet at the hotel in Kindersley.  I won't provide much of a writeup for this week's winners since I'm tight for time. But this weeks winners cover the Bruins last three games (Jan.20 8-1 win over Kin. Jan.27 3-2 win over Nipawin Jan.29 5-3 loss to Battlefords)


Player of the Week- Tyler Ross
Defenceman of the Week- Zach MacLellan
Rookie of the Week- Matt Brykaliuk
Unsung Hero - Tyler Poskus

The Bruins will kick off their final roadtrip of the season tonight in Kindersley against the Klippers. The Bruins have gone 2-1 this season against Kindersley and will meet them again on Saturday and next Friday.

The Bruins trail the Melville Millionaires by 5 points for third spot in the Sherwood Conference heading into tonight's game, Melville does have one game in hand on the Bruins. The Bruins will likely have to win 7 if not all of their remaining games in order to pass Melville in the Sherwood Conference. No other games in the SJHL tonight so the Bruins don't have to worry about scoreboard watching.

For the most part the Bruins are healthy heading into this road trip. Steven Glass is good to go after sitting out the last three weeks with a knee injury, he did dress as a backip in the last two games for the Bruins. Eric Baldwin is still battling an ankle injury and is listed to day to day.

Kindersley hasn't won a game in regulation since Nov.26 although they're coming off a big shootout win in Yorkton on Sunday.  Former Bruins goalie Brandon Stone picked up a shootout win against the Bruins back in November but his last game against the Bruins on Jan.20 didn't end well as he was pulled after giving 5 goals in the first period.

You can catch tonight's game on CJ1280 and discoverestevan.com beginning at 7:20
