➤ UofC: No. 4 Dinos cruise to 9-1 win over Bisons
Quick Summary
Man: J. Paulhus (08:22 3rd)
Calg: C. Gengenbach (01:17 1st), A. Atwal (05:20 1st), A. Kydd (08:25 1st), M. Stewart (05:42 2nd), M. Stewart (06:04 2nd), J. Gricius (06:40 2nd), J. Poole (01:21 3rd), R. Stotts (09:46 3rd), C. Horning (13:58 3rd)
Goal: Man: Thornton L (22 shots, 17 saves), Hawryluk (30 shots, 26 saves); Calg: Tetachuk (21 shots, 20 saves)
This was grim from the outset. Kolby Thornton was back as the starter in goal, but maybe his confidence is not where it once was. I got in right at 4:00 when it started, but by the time I got the stream going it was already 2-0. The 1st period was reasonable (shots 15-11 for the Dinos), but in the 2nd the shots were 18-1 for the Dinos and it looked like it. The weekend results vault the Dinos back into 1st place.

Goal: MacU: Davis (39 shots, 34 saves); MRU: Sims (14 shots, 13 saves)
The Bluegars bounced back from Friday’s upset with a convincing and dominating victory on home ice. Though scoreless after the 1st, it always seemed inevitable that the floodgates would open.

Goal: Reg: Evanoff (26 shots, 22 saves); Alta: Berlin (35 shots, 32 saves)
After being whipped on Friday night, the Banjo-Cats deserved a better fate in this rematch. IMO they outplayed the Evil Monkeys. They went 0-for-6 on the PP, which made the difference. Remember when the Monkeys were NEVER outshot in their games?

Goal: Sask: Kooy (24 shots, 21 saves); UBC: Lane (37 shots, 33 saves)
If anything, the Banjo-Mutts dominated this game more than Friday’s. Holding a 3-2 lead entering the 3rd, the T-irds were outshot 11-3 in that 3rd period alone. Those five Tier 1 teams never seem to put any distance between themselves and the rest of the pack. The sweep means that these two teams are now tied for 2nd, with dead even strength-of-schedule thus far.
STANDINGS
Note: All 5 Tier 1 teams are .500 against one another, but for the two OTLs.

The Bisons bring their first semester to a close with a homestand against the Evil Monkeys. Although they sit 4th in the CW, they and Calgary are the only teams in the CW with positive records against their fellow Tier 1 opponents. (Both due to having an OTL.) The difference is that whereas Calgary, Saskatchewan, and UBC are 8-0-0 against Tier 2, the Monkeys are just 4-0-0. They need to sweep the Bisons here, and MacEwan next weekend, to keep pace for the pennant.
Oddly enough, the Bisons have above-average goaltending stats. Ross Hawryluk came from the backup role to hold the hot hand in his two starts. His stats line is 1-1-0, .936 S%, 3.12 GAA. Kolby Thornton is 0-10-1, .901 S%, and 3.81 GAA. (The Hockey Tech site has two entries for him, with one indicating he surrender 0 goals on 19 shots in 21 minutes. If those should be added to his stats line, he would have a .905 S%, which would be 4th amongst qualified goaltenders in the CW.) His numbers have declined in the last two weekends.
The other positive aspect of the Bison season thus far is the powerplay, sitting at #3 with a 22.6% success rate. The PK is just 78.8%, last in the CW. Overall, they are (barely) on the plus side of the ledger.
Jonny Hooker still leads the team with 9-5-14 in 14 GPs. Chase Hartje is one point behind with 2-11-13, and sits 5th amongst defencemen.
The Monkeys are still contenders, and could easily finish first, but are not as scary as they once were. They used to dominate the shot clock and the scoring race. This year, they have been outshot several games, and last weekend could well have lost to Regina.
Both Ape goaltenders have lesser numbers than the Bison goaltenders. Matt Berlin is 5-0-1, .896 S%, 2.86 GAA and Ethan Kruger is 3-4-0, .869 S%, and 3.31 GAA. They also have just two players at or above a PPG ratio. Eric Florchuk is 6-14-20 and Josh Prokop is 8-8-16. They have outscored their opponents 56-45, whilst the Bisons are down 24-61.
The linked story is a sad one about the death of forward Hayden Ostir’s boyhood friend, Declan Erickson, a year ago. Worth a click, I say.

This is a key series for these teams as they could be fighting for the 6th and final playoff berth this year. The Family Guys are thus far the only Tier 2 team with a win over a Tier 1 team, which gives them a big edge. The Banjo-Cats did well against Alberta last weekend, and could well have matched the Mythical Mutants accomplishment.

After a loss to MacEwan, the Bluegars cannot afford another loss to a Tier 2 team if they want to avoid 5th place. Holy Trinity is, like the Bisons, in a situation where they need a miracle or two to challenge for a playoff berth. A win over the Bluegars last year cost MRU 2nd place and a first round bye.

This is the feature series of the weekend in the CW. The T-irds were swept by the Banjo-Mutts on home ice last week, and now enter the Town of Bedrock looking for a bounce-back. Against Tier 1, UBC is 3-3-0, Calgary is 3-2-1. Against Tier 2, both are 8-0-0. UBC leads the CW in goals scored with 70 (Calgary has 62) and Calgary is 2nd in fewest goals allowed with 32 (UBC allowed 39). So UBC is +31, Calgary +30.

November 24, 2023: BISONS BEAT THE MONKEYS!

Quick Summary
Alta: A. Hall (08:03 2nd), N. Boyko (17:50 3rd)
Man: C. Trimble (06:10 1st), J. Arpin (02:14 3rd), J. Hooker (01:21 1st OT)
Goal: Alta: Berlin (29 shots, 26 saves); Man: Hawryluk (36 shots, 34 saves)
The Bisons needed some points against Tier 1 opposition, and really earned it against the Evil Monkeys. This was by the best game of the season for the Herd. Here’s how they lined up:
MANITOBA
Goal:
34 Hawryluk (30 Thornton)
Defence:
8 Toth - 4 Malchuk
16 Hartje - 27 Gottfried
25 Calder - 24 Wareham

Scratches:
G: Bennett
D: 3 Sexsmith - 8 McLeod - 25 Herhouf - 22 Sakowich
F: 5 Tapia - 13 Fincaryk - 29 Paterson
The Monkeys wore their white jerseys with the Evil Monkey logo, and the Bisons wore their dark brown. This is the best visual combo these teams can offer.
The opening Bison goal was a goal-mouth scramble, initially awarded to Eric Fawkes, later changed to Cameron Trimble, making it 1-0 after one.
The Evil Monkeys levelled the score in a 2nd period they dominated (15-8 on the shot clock). Adam Hall converted a wonderful passing play.
Jackson Arpin restored the Bison lead just about two minutes into the 3rd period. The Bisons then clamped down and appeared to have it under control. But with just over two minutes left, Ross Hawryluk (who had an outstanding game and is certainly on a roll) whiffed on an unobstructed point shot from Noah Boyko. Ugh. Was this to be another disappointment in a season that’s not working?
Nope! Captain Hooker ripped a one-timer in 3-on-3 overtime to salt it away, and the Bisons got two needed points.
One word about the lines. Colton Veloso was injured so all the lines were shuffled about for the ending of the game.
The rematch goes Saturday at 2:00 p.m., not the 3:00 p.m. start previously advertised.
Captain Hooker scores!
And it’s celly time!

This was the key matchup of the weekend when it comes to playoff berths. I was unable to see any of the out-of-town games due to my live attendance at the U of M. The goaltenders were sharp here. The last goal was an empty-netter.

This game was tighter than the score would indicate. Until the Bluegars scored on the PP 13 minutes into the 3rd period, it was just a 1-0 game. The shots in the 3rd period were 15-4 in favour of the Bluegars, so Holy Trinity might not be in great shape for the rematch.

➤ UofM: Alberta Golden Bears Overpower Manitoba Bisons En Route To 6-1 Win In Men’s Hockey (with boxscore)
➤ UofA (Friday late): Bears fall to Bisons in OT (with boxscore)
Quick Summary
Alta: J. Hall (14:30 1st), A. Thacker (06:17 2nd), J. Smallwood (15:37 2nd), J. Smallwood (00:54 3rd), T. Preziuso (15:53 3rd), K. Belcourt (19:54 3rd)
Man: A. Sutter (10:59 3rd)
Goal: Alta: Kruger (32 shots, 31 saves); Man: Hawryluk (34 shots, 28 saves)
First, do not over-react to the final score. Well into the 2nd period, I thought this had a good chance to be a Bison sweep.
The lineup had three changes. On defence, Brandon Casey was in for Owen Wareham. Up front, Andre Sutter and Riley Zimmerman were in for Colton Veloso and Eric Fawkes. Codey Behun left the game with an injury when Cam Wiebe of the Monkeys kneed him, getting a 5-minute major and a game misconduct.
The Monkeys switched goaltenders, as usual, but were otherwise unchanged. Their line-up was altered when forward Jacob Kendall was hurt and, of course, when Wiebe was tossed.
The difference in this game was the powerplay. The Monkeys went 2-for-3, the Bisons were 0-for-4 and gave up a shorthanded goal.
The 2nd period was what turned the game around. The Bisons trailed 1-0 after one, in an evenly played period. They took control in 2nd, outshooting the Monkeys 13-7. However, the Monkeys got the only two goals, which were similar. The Bisons would get the Monkeys running around in circles for a prolonged period, eventually lose the puck, and rather than switch to defence make a vain attempt to keep up the offence and, instead, surrender a quick break-out with nobody back for rebound control. The 2nd Monkey goal came after Riley Zimmerman missed two close calls in a net-front scramble. The 3rd Monkey goal was shorthanded and was particularly galling, as it made the game 3-0 heading into a 3rd period where the Bisons deserved, at worst, to be tied.
The Monkeys scored in the first minute of the 3rd period, and the Bisons had no bounce-back from that point onward. Andre Sutter (usually a healthy scratch) had his 1st goal for the Bisons, and two late Monkey goals padded their stats and scoreline.
The Bisons end the first semester with a bye next weekend. Then it’s off to Thunder Bay for some non-conference action on December 29th and 30th. The next home series is against UBC on January 5th and 6th.

Yet another split occurred in this battle for 6th place. The Family Guys could have really put a stranglehold on this race, but I reckon this race will last all year.

Holy Trinity played quite well in this one. Trailing 2-1 entering the 3rd, they took a 3-2 lead. The Bluegars scored with 90 seconds left to force OT, and ultimately took it on a shootout. Had Holy Trinity won that shootout, every series this weekend would have been split.

Goal: UBC: Schwebius (25 shots, 24 saves); Calg: Tetachuk (33 shots, 29 saves)
The T-irds must have been feeling some pressure heading into this one. A loss here in the Town of Bedrock and their hopes of a 1st place finish would have taken a serious pounding. The Dinos played down a man, due to that dreaded injury bug. It seems to get to everybody sooner or later.

This is the feature match-up of the weekend in the CW as the 1st semester comes to an end. The top five teams in the conference are so close. Calgary has 25 points, UBC 24, and Alberta and these two teams have 22. A sweep could put one of these teams in 1st place, and the other in 5th.

This Battle of Edmontown is a home-and-home series. After losing to the Bisons, the Evil Monkeys can ill-afford a loss to the Family Guys. Easier said than done, though. The Mythical Mutants have not had many poor games thus far.
REGINA COUGARS (4-10-2, 7-13-2, OHT35 #26)

The Banjo-Cats could be slipping kind of far from the playoff race if they are swept in British California this weekend. The T-irds were on a mini-slump, which they ended in game two last weekend. They are 8-0-0 against the Tier 2 teams, including an earlier sweep of their series in Regina.

TRINITY WESTERN SPARTANS (2-11-1, 6-13-1, OHT35 #31)

➤ UofC: Team Website
➤ TWU: Team Website
Bedrock U is also 8-0-0 against Tier 2 teams, including a home sweep against Holy Trinity. Holy Trinity trail MacEwan by 8 points, so they will need wins over Tier 1 teams if they want to get in to the CW playoff race.

December 2, 2023: WEEKEND OF SWEEPS AS THE 1ST SEMESTER WRAPS UP
The good news for the Bisons is that they lost no ground while not even playing. There were lots of goals this Saturday night. Just read down.
OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD
CALGARY DINOSAURS 5
TRINITY WESTERN SPARTANS 2
Links:
➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW
➤ UofC: Dinos come back strong to top Spartans (with boxscore)
➤ TWU: Dinos Come Back Strong to Top Spartans (with boxscore)
Quick Summary
Calg: J. Gricius (15:31 1st), J. Poole (17:51 1st), J. White (07:03 2nd), J. White (14:46 3rd), J. Gricius (18:48 3rd)
TWU: A. Oates (01:02 1st), T. Hopps (03:38 1st)
Goal: Calg: Tetachuk (22 shots, 20 saves); TWU: Sommer (45 shots, 41 saves)
Odd 1st period. Holy Trinity built a 2-0 lead, but Bedrock U came back to tie it up by intermission. The shots were 26-4 in favour of the Dinos. The rest of the claim was closer (shots 20-18 in favour of the Dinos) but they gradually cemented a lead. Of note, the Dinos played two men short.
MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 7
SASKATCHEWAN HUSKIES 4
Links:
➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW
➤ MRU: Team Website
➤ UofS: Team Website
Quick Summary
MRU: C. Bouchard (05:01 2nd), T. Zandee (05:53 2nd), B. Stevenson (08:40 2nd), D. Kernaghan (15:10 2nd), C. Bouchard (15:53 2nd), C. Bouchard (18:52 3rd), C. Bouchard (19:43 3rd)
Sask: C. Petruic (17:20 1st), B. Tkachuk (07:15 3rd), C. Stebbings (10:00 3rd), V. Loschiavo (19:22 3rd)
Goal: MRU: Farkas (23 shots, 19 saves); Sask: Kooy (29 shots, 24 saves)
This was a key sweep for the Bluegars, actually giving them the best head-to-head record amongst the Tier 1 teams. The 2nd period was wild. Sask entered the period with a 1-0 lead, and left trailing 5-1. MRU went 3-for-3 on the PP. After that wild 2nd period, I switched my focus elsewhere. The stats would imply weak goaltending with a combined 5 goals on 17 shots.

➤ UofR: UBC completes weekend sweep with Saturday win over Cougars (with boxscore)
➤ UBC: Birds close out 2023 with weekend sweep of Regina (with boxscore)
Quick Summary
Reg: J. Brook (13:43 1st)
UBC: J. Wismer (05:16 1st), S. Huo (08:01 1st), S. Mutala (11:04 1st), S. Atkinson (01:29 2nd), C. McNabb (08:31 2nd), C. Douglas (09:02 2nd), S. Atkinson (17:27 2nd)
Goal: Reg: Evanoff (45 shots, 38 saves); UBC: Schwebius (23 shots, 22 saves)
The Banjo-Cats look like the weakest team in the CW now. There were only two PPs each, so it was just Cats chasing around fruitlessly after Birds. Reminiscent of Sylvestre, Tweety Bird, and an old lady armed with an umbrella.
ALBERTA GOLDEN BEARS 8

MacU: E. Strang (05:41 1st), J. Taupert (18:26 1st), E. Strang (11:45 2nd), R. Appelt (12:57 2nd), J. Taupert (18:45 3rd)
Goal: Alta: Berlin (30 shots, 25 saves); MacU: Davis (41 shots, 34 saves)
This was the evening’s nightcap, so I saw a lot if it. Both sides looked sloppy. The Evil Monkeys always looked like they were about to burst out and bury the Family Guys, but never really did.

Christmas is over and New Year’s is pending. So some USports teams are kicking off the rust with some weekend action. There are also free streams of this series on OUA TV, for those not seeing enough hockey from the World Juniors, Spengler Cup, and the NHL. So put away the turkey, order some pizza, curry, or cheeseburgers, and get back into the groove.
There used to be 4-team tournament every holiday season in T-Bay, in which the Bisons participated on several occasions. It then became a double-header between Lakehead and an invited guest. This year it is the Bisons’ turn.
The Bisons will be anxious to say farewell to 2023. Last year they went a not-so-bad 7-9-0 in the 2022 1st semester but then fell to 1-10-1 in the 2023 2nd semester. So a reversal would be the goal this season.
The Thundermutts have been wobbly thus far. They looked like a team with a good shot at a U-Cup berth last season, but have fallen back to mid-table team this time. I admit that I root for them when they compete in the OUA, being a former GPAC team and all.

This Friday night game was a late addition to the non-conference schedule. It makes sense that these two teams from Edmontown would play a game like this. However, it would be better to see them choose opponents from another conference. NAIT from the ACAC used to be a part of this process.
TRINITY WESTERN SPARTANS (2-13-1, 6-15-1, OHT35 #31)
SIMON FRASER RED LEAFS (0-0-0, 3-9-0)

If you want to see a Saturday late-night free livestream, they have one here. The BCIHL has all games on YouTube.
This is the Harlem Globetrotters version of the Red Leafs. They have one squad in the BCIHL, and that squad is 4-3-1 and sits in 4th. The travelling team seldom plays in British California. After this game, they have only five games left on their schedule (all in the Excited States) and three of those are on one weekend.
Holy Trinity beat SFU 3-2 on September 9th. In 2022-23, Holy Trinity won two out of their three games (SFU won 6-3, TWU won 5-0 and 5-2).
FWIW, thus far the Globetrotters are 0-2-0 against the CW, 2-0-0 against the ACAC, 0-5-0 against NCAA D1, 0-2-0 against NCAA D3, and 1-0-0 against the ACHA.
BRIERCREST COLLEGE CLIPPERS (9-3-0, 11-7-1, ACAC 2nd)

This is on January 2nd, which is technically after the holiday season. However, it is on a Tuesday night before conference play resumes. These teams did not meet in the pre-season, as they usually do. Instead, Manitoba and Minot State visited Banjoland and took turns playing these two teams over the same weekend.
The Clippers are not the ACAC doormats they once were. They were 13-9-2 last season, good for 4th place, and have taken a further step this year.

➤ MRU: Bouchard named WHL Grad of the Month for November/December
There are no seasons greetings games for the Bluegars (nor for Sask, Calgary, and UBC) but there is at least news from MRU. Conor Bouchard was named WHL Grad-of-the-Month for November/December. He had 35 points in 25 games last year, and has 16 goals and 20 assists through 16 games this year.
