Rambling on....

Rider training camp is now less than two months away. Can't wait as the 10 best nights of the summer/fall are spent at Taylor Field.

Wilcox native, Jaden Schwartz has done it again. Another league, another amazing year. Jaden lead the USHL and the Tri-City Storm, in scoring, with 83 points in 60 games. He will be attending Colorado College this fall and looks to be a 1st round NHL pick this June.

Well i said i was going to talk about the Senior Provincial A final a bit more, but what's the point. Balgonie choose the worst time of the year to lay a couple eggs. St. Walburg's best players played their best and well............the Bison's best guys weren't even close to the top of their game. Congrats to the Eagles!

The Bisons are starting to look like the San Jose Sharks, or the Buffalo Bills. Always the bridesmaids.

A little more salt on the wound was the fact it was Balgonie's first home loss of the year.

The last loss at the Stardome was when the Shellbrook Elks beat the Bisons, in last years Provincial A final.

It's tough to see the visiting team celebrate a title, in your own barn, let alone twice in a 12 month period.

Balgonie has already started to improve the roster as they look for upgrades in all areas, including coaching and goaltending. There is a certain former WHL, AHL & NHL goaltender in Regina, that would look good in a Bison uniform. Wait and see!

It looks like the University of Regina Cougars have improved on the offensive side, as they will be adding former 20 year old Regina Pats, Brett Leffler and Matt Strueby, for the 2010/2011 season.

The Cougars (men's and women's teams) will also be moving to their new home in the Co-Operators Centre at Evraz Place. If you haven't been there yet, you need to check it out as it is a beautiful structure.

NHL stuff........

• Did anyone think the Phoenix Coyotes would have this good of a season, especially with all of the ownership problems off the ice? Dave Tippett has to be the favorite for coach of the year.

• Tampa Bay forward Steve Downie, became the first player, since Theo Fleury in 01/02, to record 20 goals and 200 pims in a season. Hopefully he has put his problems in the past.

• Regina native, Tyler Bozak, has had a very good season in Toronto, with 26 points in 34 games thus-far. Hopefully he can carry his success, into next year.

• The Leafs are 9-4-4 in their last 17 games. Wohoo! Too bad it means absolutely nothing!

That's all folks!
