MORE NEWS A WEEK BEFORE EXHIBITIONS BEGIN
The Bison web site has a partially completed new
roster page for 2010-11. Included are a few new names on the try-out roster:
Brent Poplawski (d-man from the Winnipeg South Blues);
Devin Himpe (d-man from the Dauphin Kings); and
Wes Pawluk (forward from the Neepawa Natives). Right now there are only 13 names on the list, so check in for updates once the long weekend is over.

The major recent announcements have come from the three Alberta-based teams.
Alberta: The annual game between the Edmonton Oilers Rookies and the Evil Monkeys has been scrapped. The Greasers have apparently scheduled games against other NHL rookie squads. Alberta will instead face another local Edmonton team, the Concordia Thunder of the ACAC.
South Campus Sports laments this development.
Lethbridge: The H0rny Ones'
recruiting class was announced all-at-once. Added are Taylor Gal, Ryan Letts, Tyler Melancon, Mason Conway, and former Bison Nick Hotson.
South Campus Sports also has a story on this.
Calgary: The Dinos also announced their
recruits en masse. The seven players are forwards Colton Grant, Taylor Rovatti, and Matt Scrivens; defencemen Brett Bartman, Spencer Fraipont, and Colton MacPherson; and goaltender Kris Lazaruk.
South Campus Sports has background on all these players.
Regina: Former Regina Cougar and Winnipeg South Blue Brant Hilton has turned pro with the Mississippi River Kings, as announced by the
U of R.
