Weekend Games

This weekend proves to be an interesting one for Seattle.

They begin the weekend with a rare 2:05 afternoon start time vs. the Portland Winterhawks. Seattle needed to start this game at 2:05 to avoid losing a Saturday home game in November vs. their I-5 rival. They are then scheduled to hit the bus directly following the game and head to Cranbrook where they play Kooteney in Cranbrook at 5pm on Sunday evening. Tough turn around...

I would expect to see some 15 year old call-up's on this eastern road swing with 6 games in 8 days. Seattle is off on Monday and Thursday on the trip.

Also interesting is the fact that we will all need a brand new roster sheet in order to tell who is playing for Portland tomorrow night as they traded away 5 players yesterday in exchange for 7 new players.

Let's hope the boys can get the trip started right with a home win over the 3-15 Winterhawks and circle the wagons on their 8 day Alberta swing.
