4-KINDERSLEY KLIPPERS (22-10-3-1) ... 3rd last week
They look to be healthy post-Christmas and could be a real force.

After dropping games to Melfort post-Christmas, the Sherwood is anyone's ballgame.

Antisin comes back and that should be a real shot in the arm on offense.

Schooled by Yorkton after a couple of real good games to start the stretch drive.

If they decide to move on a couple of veterans, they should bring back a high price.

Without Parenteau, Burgart kept them in each of their games.


WHO's HOT

Sam Aulie, Notre Dame (3-5-1-6) ... could be one of the most lethal goal scorers as the season hits crunch time.

Brett Boehm, Yorkton (4-4-2-6) ... scary looking offensive player in his new surroundings.

Kelvin Walz, Melville (4-2-4-6) ... will need to continue to produce on the second line.

Austin Daae, Estevan (2-2-3-5) ... finaly moves ahead of Kozun to take over the league lead.

Ian Williams, Notre Dame (3-2-3-5) ... Still has two years of eligibility, he could win a scoring title as soon as next year.

Jack Petrino, Battlefords (2-2-1-3) ... points in back to back games against Broncos from vet who could surprise down the stretch.

Michael Gudmandson, Battlefords (2-0, 1.50, .959, 1SO) ... it's not easy outplaying Humboldt's goalies.
