Brooks had a good outing on Friday night against one of the best teams in the league...his first assist at 11:13 of the third period brought the Storm within 3-2, and he was one of only two players on the team with a plus rating in the four-goal defeat...Tri-City flipped that deficit against Sioux City, and Brooks was integral...his three assists all came in the second period as the Storm expanded a 2-0 lead to 6-0, chasing PSU commit Matt Skoff from the game in the process...Brooks was also a +3 in that game.

Against Drumheller, Glen had first assist on what turned out to be the game-winning goal 5:36 into the second period...his elbowing penalty in the second period of the Brooks game was just his fourth minor of the season.

Despite Juha's empty stat lines this week, VipersDieHardFan Blog had some glowing words for his performance against Penticton: "Luke Juha was Vernon's best d-man. Coughed up the puck once but overall was very steady for the Vipers. Really reads and sees the ice-play, very smooth skating d-man who likes to carry the puck."

Bookend tripping penalties against Trail (one 5:34 into the game, the other 1:38 from the end) didn't cost the Vees a power play goal, although the second short-circuited a comeback attempt as Penticton had made it a one-goal game with 3:30 remaining...the Vees bounced back by beating a strong Vernon team for the second week in a row...Loik's slapper from the top of the left-wing circle proved the game-winner as it gave Penticton an unassailable 3-0 lead with 49 seconds left in the first period...his assist against Surrey was on the first goal of the game, with 2:29 left in the opening period.

McAdam finally saw his first action of the season against Green Bay, starting the third period in relief of Jay Williams after the Miami commit was punctured for four goals on 17 shots...the Perkasie native held off the Green Bay for 18:55 - allowing Waterloo to pull within one with 16:30 left - before the Gamblers added two empty-netters to provide the final margin...he followed that up by both starting and finishing the next day against Omaha, and doing so successfully, which hopefully leads to a few more chances.

As Pembroke continues to be stuck in neutral thanks to injuries not only to Milley but to Brandon Gagne and others as well, GM/Coach Sheldon Keefe has been openly wondering whether to transition from a "championship run" year to a "developmental" year...given that it's still very early in the season, that one screams "motivational tactic."

10/22 vs. Tri-City L 3-7 17 4 .765 10.4 [box score]
After a fantastic start to the season, Skoff seems to be backsliding, as he's now Musketeers coach Brett Larson, on Skoff: "When he plays his game, he's one of the best goalies in the league"...evidently, Skoff hasn't been playing his game of late, as he's now been pulled twice in his last four starts...the second of the two came 2:57 into the second period of the loss to Tri-City, just after Brad Schierhorn scored to make the score 4-0...it masked what could be considered a solid start (in light of the opponent) two days prior in the win over Fargo.

Despite what looks like a rough start to his season (admittedly, going on little besides box scores and game recaps), NHL Central Scouting has given Yanis a B rating on their October 13th "Players To Watch Tracker"...a B rating translates as "a candidate for potential mid-round consideration in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft.
