Wednesday Evening Notes

Sioux City Musketeers defenseman Mike Keenan will be doing a blog every week for the Hockey Journal. It should be interesting to see what will be put in this blog.

Greg Burke was also featured in the Hockey Journal. It looks like the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders have a pretty good player. The Washington Capitals could have picked up a steal with him. The University of New Hampshire Wildcats 2009 recruiting class also looks good. Along with Burke, they have Ryan Bourque and John Henrion from the National Team Development Program coming in.

Daniel Bartek was traded from the Brandon Wheat Kings to the Everett Silvertps in exchange for a fourth round selection in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft. With the Brandon Wheat Kings last season, he had 22 goals and 14 assists last year.
