First an injury update.
Tyler Grove returns to the lineup tonight. Thomas Ward-Cardinal is still about a week away, while Taylor Santorelli about 4-6 weeks away.
The Blizzard (14-6-1) host the Oil Capitals (8-7-5) in the second of three straight games against the MJHL's newest club. OCN won the inaugural matchup on Tuesday 6-3. A solid road game.
The Oil Caps are young and got even younger trading away one of their three twenty year olds in Gaudet to Dauphin. They now have only two '92 born players on their roster.
It's a young team that can be intimidated and I'm sure the atmosphere at the GLMC will give the Blizzard an advantage.

But hopefully I can see you at the rink!
Glad to see Grove back, another weapon returns.
ReplyDeleteCertainly! With Ward-Cardinal on the way the team is looking pretty scary.
DeleteIs Virden going to make the trip up to OCN? Severe winter storm in southern Manitoba with 30-40 cm of snow forecast for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYep, they leave in an hour, they'll beat out the storm.
