Press Release

1-MELVILLE MILLIONAIRES (13-3-0-1) … 1^st last week

Mils finally lose Sunday night to the Broncos, although Coach Fiesel said earlier in the week, “We have played like we are trying to lose.”

2-FLIN FLON BOMBERS (13-3-0-0) … 3^rd last week
They’ve rattled off five in a row now after dropping three straight.

3-HUMBOLDT BRONCOS (11-5-1-0) … 4^th last week
They’ve been a little up and down, but numerous key players have been out of the line-up

4-YORKTON TERRIERS (12-5-0-1) … 2^nd last week
Are they going to do this three-headed goalie monster AGAIN?

5-NOTRE DAME HOUNDS (9-6-0-2) … 6^th last week
Three straight wins and getting closer to the top of the division than they are to the bottom of it.

6-NIPAWIN HAWKS (6-6-1-3) …5^th last week
They haven’t been bad, haven’t been great.  Maybe a bit disappointing?  Winless in five.

7-ESTEVAN BRUINS (6-8-2-0) … 10^th last week
Batting over .500 in their last ten, they are quietly getting themselves straightened out.

8-BATTLEFORDS NORTH STARS (7-8-0-0) … 9^th last week
It seems like they are always one up and one down.  They enter this week on an up.

9-KINDERSLEY KLIPPERS (6-8-1-1) … 8^th last week
The goals against have been a little too high lately.

10-MELFORT MUSTANGS (6-9-0-1) … 7^th last week
Lowest scoring team in the SJHL needs more offense.

11-WEYBURN RED WINGS (5-12-0-0) … 12^th last week
Boucher addition seems to have turned things around despite McMillan absence.

12-LA RONGE ICE WOLVES (5-9-0-3) … 11^th last week
Long on heart, short on talent, especially with goal scorer Dieno gone to the WJAC.

WHO’S HOT

Joey Davies, Humboldt (9-7-7-14) … You could see the talent was there last  year, just too many guys in front of him.

Brandon Millin, Notre Dame (4-2-5-7) … Hounds’ top scorer now one of the league’s best.

Tyler Giebel, Yorkton (4-5-2-7) … Don’t be surprised if he’s Yorkton’s leading scorer by end of the season.

Mitch Boucher, Notre Dame (4-1-5-6) … Grolla gets well deserved props, but Boucher equally a key.

Daylan Gatzke, Yorkton (4-4-2-6) … Not a big time scorer in midget, he’s finding net regularly in junior.

Miguel Pereira, Weyburn (6-3-10-13) … there is just no stopping him.

Ryan Ostertag, Weyburn (6-7-5-12) … terrific fit alongside Pereira.

Sam Williams, Weyburn (4-3-5-8) … rounds out the big trio for Wings.

Devin Buffalo, Flin Flon (4-0, 0.50, 2SO, .981) … as close to unbeatable as you get last two weeks.

Myles Hovdebo, La Ronge (2-0, 2.00, .959) … new competition from Sydora has raised his game.

Jean-Philippe Boucher, Weyburn (2-0, 1.50, .952) … new man in town between the pipes for Weyburn.

Ty Reichenbach, Notre Dame (4-1-0-1, 2.00, 2SO, .933) … red hot three weeks for second year starter.
