jk Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 Kyle Radke is having one heck of a postseason with Grande Prairie. His team lost 4-3 in 2 OTs last night to Ft. McMurray, and now leads the series 3-1 in games. Radke had a 1-2-3 line last night, and has contributed regularly to the scoresheet. Also having a strong postseason is his teammate Scott McCullough, a CC recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 While listening to the Nanaimo/Salmon Arm series, I kept hearing a Nanaimo player named "LaFabe" feature prominently in the play. It turns out that Blair Lefebvre has a 1/83 birthdate, which makes him nearly three years older than Drew Stafford. Lefebvre's linemate Mulock is also a 1/83. While all junior teams have older players, including Salmon Arm, it is notable that the two key players on Salmon Arm's top line have 5/85 (Zajac) and 3/86 (Chucko) birthdates. All is fair as long as it is within the rules, so congrats to Nanaimo on the BCHL championship. But it helps to explain to me why Salmon Arm had such trouble with Nanaimo. It also is a reminder of just how young Drew Stafford is. He will again be the youngest player on UND's roster next season. The next youngest players will be Zajac and Radke, who share the same birthdate - 5/13/85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 The next youngest players will be Zajac and Radke, who share the same birthdate - 5/13/85. Better yet? Matt Greene's DOB: 5/13/83. There are three "May 13th" birthdays on one roster. And as far as "young guys," that stallwart, dependable defenseman, the long-in-the-tooth, go-to guy, the senior this fall, Matt Jones, doesn't turn 21 until August. Robbie Bina and Matt Greene are older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubz Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 The Slav had an unassisted goal tonight in a 3-2 OT win against Sioux City. He stole the puck behind the SC net, skated around two players and buried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 Thanks, Bubz. I'm anxious to see how Spirko adjusts to the size and speed of the WCHA's players. Also, Grande Prairie won the AJHL playoff title last night, scoring three goals in the last ten minutes to win the game 4-2, and the series 4-1. CC recruit McCullough was named playoff MVP. Congrats to Grande Prairie and Kyle Radke and good luck in the Royal Bank Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubz Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Game 2 Slav = PP GWG Storm beat the Muskies 5-2, in one of the most dirtiest games of the year tonight. Sioux City 22 minutes on 11 Tri-City 20 minutes on 10, but Croft didn't call $#!+. I know play-off hockey is a little lax on penalties, but this guy has no clue. Ref Ian Croft, hopefully he never makes the next level. Game 1 article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 GP's Doyle Cup schedule (a funky way to schedule a series): The Doyle Cup championship between the Grande Prairie Storm and Nanaimo Clippers will open in Grande Prairie on Tuesday, April 20. The best-of-seven series will continue in Grande Prairie for Game 2 on Wednesday, April 21. A third game will be played in Grande Prairie on Thursday, April 22 if the first two games are split. After the two, or three, Grande Prairie games the series switches to Nanaimo for all remaining games. All games in the series will be played at 7:30 p.m. The Storm defeated the Fort McMurray Oil Barons in five games to win the Alberta Junior Hockey League championship while the Clippers took out the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in the same amount of games in the British Columbia Junior Hockey League final. Because the Storm is guaranteed a spot in the Royal Bank Cup May 8-16 in Grande Prairie, the Clippers receive a spot in the national tournament no matter what the outcome of the Doyle Cup.

Congrats to him and to UMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Game one in the Doyle Cup. Grande Prairie is up on Nanaimo 1-0 in the second period, on a PP goal by Radke. GP has just put two quick shots off the cross bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Grande Prairie wins the first, 3-2 in OT. Strange Doyle Cup schedule, the first 2 games (or three, if the first two are split) are played at Grande Prairie, then all remaining games are played at Nanaimo.

shep Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Don't know if this qualifies as a "recruit" but I hear that former Mr. Hockey from Grafton, Drew Sando, is going to walk-on next year. Anyone confirm that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jloos Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Don't know if this qualifies as a "recruit" but I hear that former Mr. Hockey from Grafton, Drew Sando, is going to walk-on next year. Anyone confirm that? I have not heard anything. Sando did have a good year considering he was on the worse team in the USHL - Sioux Falls. 26 pts in 55 games and a -15. The -15 was actually better than most of his teamates, Sioux Falls only won 15 games all year. Next year is already going to be crowded, but a little competition for playing time never hurts.

sprig Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 GP gave up 3 third period goals (two of them by MDU recruit Lefevbre). Nanaimo wins 3-1, so, game 3 will be played at GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 In other action, Nainamo defeated the Storm last night 3-0, to take a 3-1 series lead with game 5 tonight. In the game Nainamo captain Olson was given a match penalty for biting a Storm player in an altercation (Clements). Nainamo coaches are claiming that the bite was self-inflicted. Interesting. http://www.gpstorm.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Nainamo finishes off GP for the Doyle Cup with a 5-2 win; winning four straight after losing game 1 in OT.
