Greetings from the WHL

Last year, during the ’s 50th season, we were privileged to reflect on our rich history and honour the many distinguished builders and alumni who have helped to make the WHL the finest junior hockey league in the world today. As we open the 2016-17 WHL season, the same ideals that fostered the growth our great League still serve as its foundation – a commitment to providing our players with a world class experience from both a hockey and education standpoint.

The WHL and our 22 member Clubs take great pride in providing our players with the best possible environment in which to succeed both on and off the ice. On the ice, our high calibre of coaching and arena facilities continue to offer an ideal setting to grow and develop as a player. Off the ice, the WHL Scholarship remains the most comprehensive hockey scholarship in North America with a WHL record of over 350 graduates utilizing their WHL Scholarship at post-secondary institutions across the continent last year alone, representing an investment of over $2 million by WHL Club ownership.

The WHL Scholarship is one of many commitments WHL Club ownership makes to ensure the success of our players. The WHL Players First support services program expanded last year with the addition of a League-wide WHL Security Network and Police Impact Program which engages local police officers in a liaison capacity with all of our teams to ensure our players are in a safe and respectful environment at all times. This year, the WHL has partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association to launch the Talk Today program with all of our WHL member Clubs. Talk Today is a proven and important mental health initiative that will help our players and team staff identify and address mental health issues.

The development opportunities the WHL provides on the ice and the assistance offered off the ice to our players through the WHL Scholarship and WHL Players First support services programs would not be possible without the support of our great fans as well as our corporate partners, broadcasters and media.

The 2016-17 WHL season promises to be another highly entertaining campaign and we look forward to supporting our players and all of our WHL Clubs as they continue to set the standard for development both on and off the ice.

F R E E Z E ∙ 2016-2017 EDITION 8 TONIGHT’S OPPONENT LAST OUTING: Last night, the Raiders were downed 4-2 by the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the Enmax Centre. The Hurricanes opened the scor- ing at the 5:30 mark when Alex Baer beat Ian Scott to make it a 1-0 game. In the second, Tim Vanstone scored a shorthanded goal to tie the game. The ‘Canes responded with two goals in the third period from former ICE overagers Matt Alfaro and Zak Zborosky, making it a 3-1 game. Curtis Miske found the back of the net with Scott pulled for the extra attacker, but Baer buried his second goal of the game soon af- ter into the empty net to round out the scoring. Scott finished the game with 30 saves in the loss. Skinner made 37 saves to pick up the win.

LAST MEETING: This is the third meeting of the year between the Raiders and the ICE and the last game this year in Cranbrook. The Raiders dropped the last meeting against the ICE 6-3 at Western Financial Place on January 18, tying the season series at one win apiece. Zack Hayes, Adam Kadlec and Jordy Stallard all scored for the Raiders, but 15-year-old Peyton Krebs stole the show with a goal and three assists for Kootenay.
