Commit Cycle: September 20

Men

Kenny Brooks

Forward
Tri-City Storm (USHL)
6'2", 195 pounds
Las Vegas, NV
Class of 2012
DOB 12/11/1991


Date Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/15 vs. Lincoln (ex)        W 2-0  0   0   0   2 [box score]
9/16 vs. Omaha (ex)          W 2-1  0   0   0   0 [box score]

Brooks' two PIMs on Thursday were half of a set of matching roughing minors following a disagreement with Lincoln's Zachary Aston-Reese late in the game...in the win over Omaha, he had a team-high four shots and was on ice for the Lancers goal that shaved the Storm's lead to its final margin early in the third period.


David Glen

Center
Spruce Grove Saints (AJHL)
6'0", 175 pounds
Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Class of 2012
DOB 2/14/1991


Date Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/16 at Drumheller           W 3-2  0   0   0   0 [box score]
9/17 at Canmore              W 4-0  0   1   1   0 [box score]
9/18 at Calgary              L 4-5  1   1   2   0 [box score]

Glen's third-period power play assist helped close the scoring in the shutout of Canmore Saturday night...on Sunday, his pair of second-period power play points (goal to tie things at 2, assist to go ahead 4-3) were instrumental in earning the Saints a point for the loss (which was in a shootout), although he misfired in said shootout.

Reed Linaker

Center
St. Albert Steel (AJHL)
5'9", 165 pounds
Edmonton, AB
Class of 2012
DOB 11/4/1991


Date Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/16 vs. Sherwood Park       L 3-6  0   1   1   2 [box score]
9/17 at Grande Prairie       L 2-9  0   0   0   2 [box score]

Linaker was named one of the Steel's alternate captains this week, and yeah, I'm beefing with the team and anyone else who calls it "assistant" captain...he joins captains Brooks and Glen and alternate Jonathan Milley in wearing a letter this year...his first-slashing penalty in a chippy game Friday ultimately did no harm, and his first assist at 6:51 of the second period brought the Steel to within 2-1...however, his high-sticking infraction on Saturday left to a power play goal...St. Albert is off to an 0-3-0 start with a 7-18 goals for-goals against.


Luke Juha

Defenseman
Vernon Vipers (BCHL)
5'11", 180 pounds
Mississauga, ON
Class of 2012
DOB 3/9/1993


Date Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/13 at Westside (ex)        W 5-4  -   -   -   - [box score]
9/16 vs. Trail (ex)          W 4-2  -   -   -   - [box score]

The Vipers closed out a successful (3-1-0) exhibition season, although with Juha still watching from the press box...he suffered a head injury suffered when he was hit with an errant puck working a camp shortly before Vernon's camp started and will miss the early stages of the regular season as well.

Eamon McAdam

Goaltender
Waterloo Black Hawks (USHL)
6'2", 180 pounds
Perkasie, PA
Class of 2013
DOB 9/24/1994


Date Opponent               Score  S GA  Sv% GAA
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/14 at Cedar Rapids (ex)   L 3-6  -  -   --  --  [box score]
9/16 vs. Des Moines (ex)    W 4-3 24  3 .875 3.00 [box score]
9/17 vs. Cedar Rapids (ex)  L 3-4  -  -   --  --  [box score]

Cal Peterson played all 60 minutes in net during the Black Hawks' loss last Wednesday, while Jay Williams got the nod Saturday night...McAdam started and finished the middle game, and in doing so became the only one of the three goalies to earn a win...despite some shakiness early (including giving up a goal that tied things at one 1:22 after Waterloo took the lead, then two more unanswered in the second to go down 3-1), he was able to bolt things down late and for the second straight game allowed his team a late comeback win.


Jonathan Milley

Right Wing
Pembroke Lumber Kings (CCHL)
6'4", 220 pounds
Ottawa, ON
Class of 2012
DOB 5/8/1991


Date Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/14 at Nepean               W 3-2  -   -   -   - [box score]
9/16 at Brockville           L 3-4  -   -   -   - [box score]
9/18 vs. Carleton Place      L 0-5  -   -   -   - [box score]

With Milley on the shelf, the Lumber Kings continued their disappointing start - their 1-3-1 record is still good for third place in the CCHL's Yzerman Division.

Connor Varley

Defenseman
Des Moines Buccaneers (USHL)
6'0", 190 pounds
Lansdale, PA
Class of 2013
DOB 6/3/1992


Date Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/16 at Waterloo (ex)        L 3-4  0   0   0   0 [box score]
9/18 vs. Sioux Falls (ex)    L 2-3  -   -   -   - [box score]

Varley took two shots on Friday and was on ice for three of the games seven goals: Waterloo's to open the scoring, then the Buccaneers marker that extended the Des Moines lead to 3-1, and finally a Black Hawks power play effort that tied things at 3 midway through the third...he sat out of Des Moines' Sunday defeat, which is just as well considering the gongshow that broke out.


Mark Yanis

Defenseman
Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
6'2", 195 pounds
Grosse Pointe Woods, MI
Class of 2012
DOB 5/26/1994


Date Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
-------------------------------------------------------------

9/16 vs. Indiana (ex)        W 4-2  0   0   0   8 [box score]
9/17 vs. Youngstown (ex)     L 2-3  -   -   -   - [box score]

In an edgy tilt against the Ice, Yanis was involved in two altercations that merited matching roughing minors...he was a +2 in that game (on for the second and fourth Lumberjacks goals) and offered his usual physical presence on the back end...Yanis got the night off on Saturday against Youngstown.

Women

Jill Holdcroft

9/16 at Whitby               W 3-1  0   0   0   0 [box score]

Both Holdcroft and Kern were at the Stoney Creek University Showcase Tournament, hosted by the Provincial Women's Hockey League's Stoney Creek Jr. Sabres in Hamilton, ON...although the duo of Penn State commits was held off the scoresheet (in some low-scoring games, I should point out), their team represented quite well against some of the best junior players in Ontario.
