We played the Ontario Champion, Dundas last night and tied 4-4. We had a 3-1 lead heading into the third and needed to win by three goals to finish first in our pool. We pressed hard and Dundas capitalized on their chances to tie the game up. Tonight we face the defending Allan Cup Champion Bentley Generals, who are coached by former NHL player Brian Sutter and have the brother of LA King’s player Ryan Smyth. Winner advances to the semi final, loser goes home. Yesterday the tournament featured the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe trophies on display.
Last night we played the Prairie Champion, the South East Prairie Thunder, and lost 4-2. The game was 1-1 heading into the third period when the Thunder got two quick goals to take the momentum. We came out flying in the first period and were all over them 5 on 5, but took 10 minutes of minor penalties that took some steam out of our game. Today is a day off with only a practice and tomorrow we play the Ontario champion–Dundas. Follow along here for live game updates.

Matt Moulson, Jeff Tambellini, Pat Quinn, Troy Dalton
On Saturday I got a chance to play road hockey at the O-Zone in Richmond with Pat Quinn (Edmonton Oilers Head Coach), Matt Moulson (NY Islanders), Jeff Tambellini (NY Islanders), and BC’s Mayors. After we played the mayors all the kids in the crowd got to come out and don a jersey to play with the NHLers. It was such a cool Canadian experience!! Here is the link to the Vancouver Sun story and some pictures.
