Latest News
Bruins-- Obviously the situation between the pipes is what a lot of Bruin fans are talking about. With Curtis Martinu suspended for the next three games it means that Travis Pelletier will be getting his first start tonight. Pelletier came on relief for the Bruins on Saturday and while he did let up four goals, he also did make a pair of saves in the shootout to earn his first win. The Bruins will have to do a better job of playing in front of Pelletier than they did in the final third period.
Hounds- The Notre Dame Hounds have been rolling as of late as they've won their last three games. Mitch Boucher was named defenceman of the week by the SJHL as he's on a four point game streak. Boucher is a part of a solid blue line for the Hounds that's lead by Carson Grolla.

Keep An Eye Out For
Bruins-- Darcy DeRoose. The rookie forward has been on fire in his recent five game point streak as he earned 5 goals and 4 assists. DeRoose has found some great chemistry with Hudson Morrison and Tyler Paslawski, After going pointless to start the season DeRoose has caught fire and is playing with a lot of confidence.
Hounds- Carson Grolla. There's no question Grolla is the top player on the Hounds. Grolla was the top player for Notre Dame last season when they played a tough three game Survivor Series against the Bruins. Grolla is a excellent inside of his own zone and can put the puck in the net as has 5 goals and 7 assists in 17 games this season which ranks third among SJHL defenceman.
