Bailey continued as one of the USHL's elite snipers with a four-goal week...his 12 goals are tied for fifth in the league, tops on the Lancers...his goal against Tri-City was his third game winner this season.

Tri-City Storm (USHL)

If Bailey's a sniper, then Brooks is a playmaker - his 12 helpers are tied for ninth in the USHL.

12/6  at Grand Prairie        L 0-1  0   0   0   0 [box score]

While Glen had single assists in three of four games, the one against Bonnyville was a particularly large one, coming on Austin Sevalrud's OT winner.

Mississauga, ON
Class of 2012
DOB 3/9/1993

Juha is now on injured reserve with what's being described as a long-term injury...the Vipers are now on a nine-game winless skid.


Reed Linaker

Center
Brooks Bandits (AJHL)
5'9", 165 pounds
Edmonton, AB
Class of 2012
DOB 11/4/1991


Date  Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM

..............................................................
12/3  vs. Fort McMurray       W 5-4  0   0   0   0 [box score]

St. Albert, bluntly speaking, is awful and not showing any sign of improvement from 6-26-2, the worst record in the AJHL...as a result, team management has essentially cut the cord on this season (although the team would argue that assertion, at least on the record) by trading many of their veteran players, which this week came to include Linaker...the Brooks Bandits, the first-place team in the AJHL's South Division are his new home, meaning he went from probably the worst team including a PSU recruit to one of the best...in return for Linaker, the Steel received 18-year-olds Brendan Santini and Taylor Graham, as well as future considerations...while he didn't record any statistics in his Brooks debut, he did get one thing that has been rare for him so far this season - a win.
