October 9, 2023: BISONS GIVE THANKS FOR AN IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
 
MANITOBA BISONS 1
MANITOBA MOOSE 5
Links:
➤ UofM: Schedule & Results
➤ Moose: Jets Assign Trio to Moose
➤ Moose: Moose Reduce Roster by Five Players
I haven’t found a link for any summary, so here’s what I have:
LINEUPS:
MOOSE:
Goal
30 Giannuzzi (32 Milic)
Defence
58 Louis-Jean - 4 Barteaux
23 Kuzmin - 3 Kubicek
7 Lundmark - 2 Bauer
Forwards
50 Caron - 55 Conrad - 56 Mattheos
5 Bongiovanni - 16 Lucius - 54 Foss
49 Liwiski - 53 Jameson - 8 Jones
52 Katic - 37 Nikkanen - 48 Golder
BISONS:
Goal
30 Thornton (1 Harkness)
Defence
8 Toth - 4 Malchuk
16 Hartje - 24 Wareham
25 Calder - 5 Casey
Forwards
29 King - Thiessen - 17 Veloso
20 Apetagon - 18 Hooker - 21 Basarab
10 Paulhus - 19 Arpin - 11 Ostir
14 Zimmerman - 28 Behun - 26 Boucher
12 Trimble - 23 Fawkes
Scratches
G 34 Hawryluk
D 6 Fry - 27 Gottfried
F 13 Sutter
SCORING:
1st period
Moose - Jones - scored 4-on-4
Moose - Kubicek - point shot
2nd period
Moose - Liwiski - rebound on a scramble
Bisons - Ostir - slot shot
3rd period
Moose - Jones - shorthanded 2-on-1 on a blueline turnover
Moose - Katic - powerplay - possibly (probably?) on a high stick
Shots on goal:
Moose: 1st: 8; 2nd: 16; 3rd: 26; total: 50
Bisons: 1st: 5; 2nd: 4; 3rd: 9; total: 18
The Bisons improved their play by a lot from Thursday’s game. Although the score was the same, the play was much different. The Bisons were a lot more aggressive, both physically and by increased offensive focus. The failed 3rd period powerplay was your TSN Turning Point. Had the Bisons scored to make it a 3-2 game, they were right in it. Their aggressiveness with the puck hurt them as a blue-line turnover gave the Moose a 2-on-1 break where Nicholas Jones notched his 2nd of the game. From that point onward, the Bisons never raised much of a fuss.
By the way, UND will not host the Bisons next year. They will play Augustana, a new Division I team from South Dakota, due to changes in NCAA rules which allow a pre-season exhibition game against Division I, II, or III or ACHA teams. I think the team was embarrassed this year. I overheard one player saying words to the effect of “We didn’t play. We just looked at the crowd.”
The linked stories say who cleared waivers to go from the Jets to the Moose, and those sent from the Moose to the ECHL. Those sent down from the Jets were forward Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, defenceman Kyle Capobianco, and goaltender Collin Delia. None were eligible to play against the Bisons. Those sent to the ECHL were forwards Danny Katic, Keaton Jameson, and Ryan Foss, defenceman Darick Louis-Jean, and goaltender Dante Giannuzzi.
As a bonus for many of the several little kids in attendance, the Jets practice ended during the warm-up. I saw the newly re-signed Mark Scheifele and another player I did not recognize signing autographs as they walked across to the dressing room.
Also, former Moose Cory Schneider retired today at the age of 37.

Bedrock U deleted their Saturday game story and replaced it with the one linked below. It corrects the “winning streak” they allegedly broke. I have the new link below. Here’s the quote:
Correction: This article originally stated that the Dinos men's hockey team broke a U SPORTS record with 27 consecutive regular season wins. U SPORTS records have only tracked consecutive regular season wins contained to one season. There is not enough information to confirm the U SPORTS record for consecutive regular season wins across multiple seasons.

Last year’s series between these teams produced bucket loads of goals. In Manitoba, UBC won 8-7 and 6-4 and in British California they won 6-4 and 5-2.
The T-irds looked really good against the Evil Monkeys, and decent against Regina. The Bisons seem to start slow every weekend, and then build. They improved as play went along last weekend, when they faced superior opponents from the AHL and NCAA. On Monday afternoon the Herd had two very good periods against the Moose. It comes down to Kolby Thornton in goal. If he’s on, they have a good shot. If not, well ... with 7 goals scored per game last year, they still would have gone 1-3.
I’ll be watch to see if Ryan Gottfried is able to play on the Bison blueline. IMO he’s their best defender and his absence at the end of their 3-2 loss to Sask and last weekend hurt them.
In CW news, UBC’s Liam Kindree was player-of-the-week last week, with 2 goals, 4 assists, and a shootout goal. Also, the CW is altering formats in most sports. For Men's and Women's Hockey, here’s what they said:
• Two divisions consisting of four and five teams each that will rotate through nine teams over six years
• Games will be played both in and out of division
• Playoff format will feature a six-team cross over
I have no clue what that means.

In Saudi Alberta this weekend, we have a pair of cross-town home-and-home series. In this Battle of Edmontown, the Family Guys host Friday and the Evil Monkeys host Saturday. I do not recall the Apes looking so sub-standard to start a season. A 4-4 pre-season and a 1-3 regular season is not awe-inspiring. That said, they did not pad their schedule with weaker opponents. Of course, these teams faced off in pre-season. Otherwise the Monkeys faced their four toughest conference opponents. Both games go at 7:00 MDT/8:00 CDT.

The Banjo-Cats have managed to pick up “loser points” in both weekends thus far. Holy Trinity’s four pre-season wins were over BCIHL teams, so let’s not get too excited. Until they show otherwise, their opponents will be thinking “we need these four points” every weekend. Both games in this series are evening games.

I was waiting for somebody to post a game story, but no luck. I saw the last half of the game and the Bluegars played a sound defensive game. The Bluegars took a 2-0 lead about 8 minutes into the 3rd period, after which they made no pretense of shooting for a hat-trick. After leading on the shot clock all night, it ended up 28-28 when the Dinos outshot them 13-4 in the 3rd. So rest those record books. Any winning streak record will not be set until 2024-25.

This was a thorough whipping by the Banjo-Cats. I focussed on the Bisons/Birds game, but what I saw of this one was very one-sided. Even on home ice, Holy Trinity’s odds look slim. Regina is now 1-2-2 and TWU is 0-3-0.

➤ UofM: MHKY: T-Birds sweep Bisons with 5-2 win (with boxscore)
➤ UBC: Birds stay undefeated with weekend sweep of Bisons (with boxscore & video)
Quick Summary
Man: J. Hooker (08:33 1st), P. Malchuk (09:42 1st)
UBC: T. Thorpe (09:59 1st), J. Wismer (02:24 2nd), S. Mutala (06:50 2nd), J. Smart (04:09 3rd), T. Rask (18:18 3rd)
Goal: Man: Thornton (39 shots, 35 saves); UBC: Schwebius (15 shots, 13 saves)
The Herd had only five healthy defencemen available for this one. Friday’s lineup listed forward Michael King on the blueline, but that was not the case on Saturday.
By the middle of the 1st period, the Bisons had a 2-0 lead. The T-irds chipped away at Kolby Thornton and built a 4-2 lead. An empty-netter salted it away. The Bisons fall to 0-3-1.
Another road trip awaits the Bisons next weekend, to Edmontown where they will face MacEwan. Meanwhile, UBC have a good chance to start 8-0-0 when they face Holy Trinity.

This one started at 8:00 CDT, the same as the Battle of Calgary which gained my attention. In a statistical oddity, the Evil Monkeys led 5-1 after two periods and then outshot the Family Guys 23-4 in the 3rd. However, Mac scored twice early to make it somewhat interesting.

A much better effort by Holy Trinity in this game. They led 2-1 entering the 3rd period before the Banjo-Cats hit the moonshine and rallied for the win. The result was hanging in the balance when an empty-netter put it away. The Kittens are now 2-2-2, the Spartans are 0-4-0.

For the Bisons this is the beginning of an 8-game stretch that could make or break their season. They go from an away series against the Family Guys, to home series against the Bluegars and Holy Trinity, and wrapping with a road trip to face the Banjo-Cats. Last year they dominated MacEwan in their only series, by 7-1 and 7-2.
The Bisons are led in scoring by defenceman Chase Hartje (2G 4A 6 points) and captain Jonny Hooker (2G 2A 4 points). But the key player is goaltender Kolby Thornton (.929 S%, 3.29 GAA). I suspect he’ll get two starts per week for as long as required.
None of the Mythical Mutants have a PPG yet, but Jordan Taupert comes closest (2G 3A 5 points in 6 games). Their goaltending has been split 3 ways, with half the playing time being covered by Thomas Davis (.920 S% and 3.58 GAA).

The Battle of Banjoland goes Friday night in Saskatown then Saturday night in Regina. The Felines look to be treading water, which for them is pretty good. Two bonus point losses and a sweep of Holy Trinity has them content, but not necessarily purring. The Canines are 4-0-0, but the wins have been over Manitoba and MacEwan.

I’m not going to stay up late on a weeknight for the west coast game stories. I saw the game from mid-2nd period onward. Holy Trinity was trying to keep it tight and did hang in there, tied 2-2 after two. It was all T-irds in the 3rd period and the outcome was not really in doubt. You might have thought the Blue Jays were playing, because this was largely a no-hitter. UBC was 1-for-1 on the PP, TWU was 0-for-3. UBC is now 7-0-0 and TWU is 0-5-0. The rematch goes Saturday at 3:00 PDT (5:00 CDT).

The Family Guys got a goal-per-period and then put it away with an empty-netter, and one more for good margin. Once again, the Bisons had just the 5 defencemen dressed.

No game reports yet from this one, either. The ending was crazy. The Evil Monkeys led 3-2 after two. Bedrock U scored three in the third to take a 5-3 lead and apparently had control of the game. But wait! The Apes went crazy and scored twice in final 3 minutes and again in OT to pick up the win. They needed this one to still be considered a contender.

October 21, 2023: SATURDAY MORNING LINKS

CW REGULATIONS
On October 12th, the CW announced format changes, without there being a whole lot of definition behind it. Here’s what the announcement said:
Men's and Women's Hockey
• Two divisions consisting of four and five teams each that will rotate through nine teams over six years
• Games will be played both in and out of division
• Playoff format will feature a six-team cross over
So I rummaged through the playing regulations. Those only contained this year’s material. But I did find out that:
1. The regulation on providing goal judges has been deleted.
2. Teams are supposed to provide game sheets for non-conference games, yet those are only occasionally uploaded. Here is the rule:
For all non-conference and exhibition, game sheets need to be submitted by the host institution to the Canada West RIC within two (2) hour of the game finishing. If the host team is not a Canada West member, the visiting team (Canada West member) is responsible for submitting the game sheet within 16 hours of the conclusion of the game. Fines shall be assessed to offending Members for failure to adhere to the above requirement. Refer to the Association’s Finance Policy for the complete list of fines.
3. I saw the Women’s Soccer Format, which looks like a blueprint for men’s and women’s hockey. (BTW Manitoba, Winnipeg, and Brandon do not play CW men’s soccer.)
League Play
16 teams / 2 divisions / 4 regions / 14 games / 7 weeks + 2 weekends for playoffs
PACIFIC DIVISION
UVIC / UBC / TWU / UFV/ UNBC / TRU/ UBCO/ CGY
PRAIRIE DIVISION
ALB / GMU / LET/ MRU / MAN / SSK / REG / WPG
Play in-division opponents 2 times (1H-1A) for a total of 6 games. Play in-region opponents 1 time (either at Home or Away) for a total of 4 games. Interlock with other Region Divisions for additional games – 2 games from one division (either at home or away) and 2 games from the other division (either at home or away). In the following year, a team would play the other 4 teams.
During swing trip interlock play, all teams involved in the swing trip must be scheduled to play either Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday with appropriate time between games that are on consecutive days (e.g. Saturday night/Sunday morning is not appropriate for a travelling team). Due to travel situations, UNBC women’s home games can be played Friday/Sunday. Instances where a team will travel 500 KM or greater or involving normal travel of 5 hours or greater between the first and second opponent in a swing trip will require the scheduler to ensure at least 1 day off between games, unless the travelling party waives their right to this accommodation.
Rotation of which Alberta teams play in the Pacific Division:
2015 - 2016 - Alberta
2017 - 2018 - GMU
2019 - [s]2020[/s] - Calgary
[s]2021 - 2022 – MRU [/s]
2022 – Calgary
2023 – 2024 – MRU
2025 – 2026 – Alberta
My guess is that each year two or three Alberta teams will join UBC and Holy Trinity in the Pacific Division, and the other team(s) will join Regina, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba in the Prairie Division. For playoffs, maybe they’ll use the CFL format where the 4th place team in one division could cross-over to the other if warranted. |

Man: J. Hooker (11:57 1st), J. Hooker (19:39 1st)

The Bisons never trailed this one until the last two minutes. They just killed a penalty and then had a disaster of a give-away in front of their own net. An empty-netter sealed the deal. It was an evening of games between Edmontown and Winnipeg teams. Thankfully, the Jets came back to beat the Greasers in overtime. Watch the highlights of that one!

This is a sparse weekend in the CW. For one thing, three teams (Alberta, Calgary, and Regina) have byes. And none of the three match-ups are bursting with anticipation. Perhaps the battle of the Bluegars v. Bisons offers the best chance at entertainment. The two teams used to have some great games when they were two of the biggest teams, and played hard-hitting games head-to-head. Last year, the Bluegars went 4-0 against the Bisons, and for several years now the Bisons have not been an upper echelon CW team.
The bad thing about this series is that the Rugby World Cup final starts at 2:00, and this game starts at 3:00. I have decided to stay home and watch both on two screens.
As usual, the focus for the Bisons is Chase Hartje (2-6-8 in 6 GP) on defence, Jonny Hooker (4-2-6 in 6 GP) up front, and Kolby Thornton (3.37 GAA, .915 S%) in net. Those three a blue-chip players. Blueliner Ryan Gottfried was injured against Sask on the opening weekend. If he could return to the line-up, that would be a 4th blue-chipper.
For the Bluegars, I thought they might be due for a dip. They lost the Sawchuk/Yaremko combo (1st and 2nd in conference scoring). But they still have Connor Bouchard, who was 3rd. This year, they have defencemen Clayton Hanus (4-6-10 in 6 GP) and Connor Blake (2-7-9 in 6 GP) and forward Spencer Moe (3-3-6 in 6 GP). From what I have seen, MRU has a very capable line-up. They seem certain to place somewhere in the top 5 of the CW.

Now it’s true that Sask has had a soft schedule to open the season. However, from what I have seen, Holy Trinity is by far the weakest team in the CW. I doubt they could beat Sask, but Sask could find a way to lose once I guess. With banjo music and moonshine flowing, they should picku up 4 points here.

The Bisons gave the T-irds some problems, but somehow I think that the Family Guys would be delighted with a 2-point weekend here. I’d like to see more match-ups between the top 5, but that will have to wait.

October 27, 2023: BISONS EDGED BY BLUEGARS
MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 4
MANITOBA BISONS 2
Links:
➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW
➤ Game reports: LeagueStat : CW
➤ UofM: MHKY: Bisons fall to Cougars 4-2 in heartbreaker (with boxscore)
➤ MRU: Team Website
Quick Summary
MRU: R. Holmes (06:41 2nd), C. Bouchard (10:10 3rd), J. Senkoe (12:48 3rd), R. Holmes (19:30 3rd)
Man: T. Apetagon (16:41 2nd), C. Veloso (04:55 3rd)
Goal: MRU: Farkas (22 shots, 20 saves); Man: Thronton (37 shots, 34 saves)
The Bisons had a strong performance in this one. They were again limited to five defencemen. On the other hand, the Bluegars had some injured forwards and played some defencemen up front. I’d much rather play with too many, rather than too few, defencemen. The last time the Bisons finished first they played half the season with 8 or defencemen in their line-up. Their 4th line of defencemen was effective. They had a plus-minus of one goal scored and one goal allowed, IIRC, which is pretty good for a 4th line.
Here’s how they lined up:
MANITOBA:
Goal:
30 Thornton (34 Hawryluk)
Defence:
16 Hartje - 5 Casey
8 Toth - 4 Malchuk
25 Calder
Forwards:
20 Apetagon - 18 Hooker - 21 Basarab
29 King - 9 Thiessen - 17 Veloso
10 Paulhus - 19 Arpin - 11 Ostir
14 Zimmerman - 28 Behun - 12 Trimble - 26 Boucher
Scratches:
G: 1 Harkness
D: 6 Fry - 24 Wareham - 27 Gottfried
F: 13 Sutter - 23 Fawkes
MOUNT ROYAL:
Goal:
31 Farkas (35 Sims)
Defence:
25 Aquilon - 21 Hanus
4 Smythe - 16 Blake
5 Ladyman - 2 Walker
Forwards:
10 Holmes - 27 Senkoe - 12 Bouchard
3 Gould 11 Martens - 22 Hakim
17 Kernaghan - 8 Moe - 18 Stevenson
28 Rawji - 20 Zandee - 19 Miliken
Scratches:
G: 33 Wray
D: none
F: 9 Hiemstra - 13 Standen - 24 Rowland - 26 Englot
The Bisons held a 2-1 lead in the 3rd period and looked like they could win this one. The Bluegars tied it on a controversial PP goal mid-way through the 3rd, and added the go-ahead goal a couple minutes later. An empty-netter put it away for MRU.
I re-watched that 2nd MRU goal on CWTV, and the scorer was definitely in the crease with both skates and stopped Thornton from being able to dive on the puck. Maybe the Bisons have a break coming their way on Saturday afternoon.
Tony Apetagon scored on a deflection.

MacU: R. Appelt (05:54 1st), L. Schaufler (01:07 3rd)
Goal: UBC: Lane (16 shots, 14 saves); MacU: Abel (45 shots, 40 saves)
The T-irds dominated the stats line in this one. It was almost over when I go home from the Bison game, so I watched the end of the Sask v TWU game instead. It would be hard to find odds against a UBC sweep.

Goal: TWU: Sommer (32 shots, 27 saves); Sask: Ross (23 shots, 23 saves)
I saw the ending of this one, and what I saw was the Banjo-Mutts passing it around with Holy Trinity giving chase. That said, at the very ending it looked like the Spartans broke the shutout. Where is the video review when you need it? A split of this series would shock me.
