Loik was third star of the Chilliwack game (which says something about his defensive abilities considering he was point-free)...the Vees equaled a BCHL record in that game with a 29th consecutive win - they'll attempt to set a new mark Tuesday night in a rematch with the Chiefs...the CJHL's top-ranked team has not lost since November 5th.

Few would call McAdam's January 28th outing one of his best, but he stood tall when it counted, stopping four of five Roughriders in the shootout to give Waterloo the two points...he stole an overtime win against Sioux Falls on Friday, despite the Black Hawks' being outshot 52-34...Waterloo traded former starting goalie Jay Williams (a Miami commit) to Sioux Falls for Stephon Williams, who is committed to Minnesota State-Mankato.
