The Dawson Creek Rage have folded. They couldnt purchase an existing AJHL franchise to gain entry into that League, and said the "BC(HL) won't even give us the time of day."
nice way to finish off the season with a blowout in the last game..
this is no april's fools thing but it makes you wonder
Hard to believe one player on each team was an even for the game.
I went to the 8-0 game the night before and was underwhelmed by the effort Chicago put out. The only reason I could think of to go to this game was to see if Joe Kalisz would win the scoring title. He did.

Alexandria will still have a team but they will play in the NA3HL and will also be called the Blizzards also. Its going to be great to have another SD team though.
Does anyone know where Jack Prince of Texas Tornado is going next year?
Like so many of the players still in the Playoffs they are waiting to commit to a college just in case some other school is looking at them while on their way to the Robbie. I know a few Bobcats players are holding out until after the season is over.
Sad day. I photographed the New Mexico Mustangs the two seasons they were in operation. it's a shame, but hockey is tough in New Mexico, especially when they are 20 miles outside of Albuquerque.
There are a lot of players getting picked from the USHL. The Springfield Jr. Blues have 15 picks, the highest number of picks overall. The lowest was Wenatchee, who had one pick in the first round.
Games between Janesville and Springfield should be fun this season now that Joe Dibble is running the Jets. The fans ought to welcome him somewhat warmly for getting the team into the playoffs after a disastrous start to last season.
I'm not completely optimistic for the Jr. Blues' chances this season since there's been a huge change in the front and back offices and I still don't know who's coming back from last season. Still, they're my hometown team so I'm going to support them. Maybe this will be the year they don't act like the Prospect Tournament's punching bag at the start of the season.
