MESSAGE FROM

WHL COMMISSIONER Last year, during the Western Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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.

Ron Robison Commissioner Western Hockey League

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.

'WHL

The Western Hockey League started with just seven teams based in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1966. The WHL now has representation in all four Western Canadian provinces and the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington. The WHL now consists of 22 member Clubs with 17 based in Canadian markets and five in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The WHL is a member of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) whose membership is comprised of three major junior hockey leagues: the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Western Hockey League (WHL). At the conclusion of each league's playoffs, the CHL hosts the MasterCard Memorial Cup, a national championship tournament involving each of the three league champions and the tournament host. The WHL is regarded as one of the finest development leagues in the world today. Each season the WHL is one of the top leagues from which players are selected from in the NHL Draft. Currently over 20% of all NHL players are graduates of the WHL. The WHL is also a leading provider of post-secondary scholarships with over 325 scholarships awarded each year to current and graduate WHL players, more than any other league in North America.

Welcome to Kent …and to the Western Conference Champion Seattle Thunderbirds 2016-2017 season as the T-Birds pursue a return to the WHL Championship! This season starts with an exciting celebration at the first home game of the season as the T-Birds will raise a U.S. Division Champions Banner and a Western Conference Champions Banner. Ethan Bear, Keegan Kolesar and Scott Eansor, leading scorers for the T-Birds last season, return this year as the T-Birds defend their Western Conference Championship. Also returning are Nolan Volcan, Donovan Neuls, Alexander True, Turner Ottenbreit and the hero of Game 4 of the Western Conference Championship, Matthew Wedman. Watch for new Finnish forward Sami Moilanen, who the T-Birds selected in the annual Import Draft, and center Elijah Brown, the 2015 first overall Bantam Draft pick, to do big things. Returning this year is the T-Birds’ popular 2-for-Tuesday promotion, where fans can enjoy 2-for-1 tickets along with $2 concession specials! The very popular Pub Nights, Turkey Shoot and Ham Shoot are always fun nights. If you’re a new visitor to ShoWare Center, you should know we are very proud of this 8 year-old state-ofthe-art arena. The 6,125 seats, 20 suites, and incredible Heritage Club seating section have unmatched hockey sightlines throughout. While you’re in town, grab a bite at Kent Station, a contemporary, open air urban village with a variety of options for pre and post-game gatherings, but don’t leave your car there during an event as they will be towed. Walk a couple blocks south of the Center to discover the charm of historic downtown Kent where even more entertainment and dining choices await you. Go Birds!

GAME 14 at Seattle Thunderbirds Friday, November 11, 2016 HITMEN HEADLINES: The Calgary Hitmen (6-5-2-0) open a season-high six-game road trip tonight in Kent, Washington, against the Seattle Thunderbirds (7-7-0-1). The Hitmen are coming off a home-and-home set with Swift Current that saw Calgary pick up three of a possible four points. It was capped by last Saturday’s 3-2 home-ice win. Trailing 2-1 heading to the final period, the Hitmen tallied goals from Jakob Stukel and Andrei Grishakov, 30 seconds apart, to pull ahead. The Broncos lifted their goalie for the extra attacker with 2:07 remaining but were unable to produce the tying goal. Calgary outshot the Broncos 33-22 even though Swift Current had seven power play chances. The Hitmen, who have played a league-low 13 games, are fifth in the Central Division at 14 points while Seattle, who has only played 15 games, sits fifth in the U.S. Division with 15 points. VS SEATTLE: Tonight is the first and only regular season meeting between the two clubs, marking Calgary’s first visit to the ShoWare Center in Kent since Feb. 24, 2015. That night Jake Virtanen, Chase Lang and Terrell Draude all scored in a 3-2 Hitmen victory. Calgary outshot the Thunderbirds 32-20. The Hitmen have won their last four meetings against Seattle by a combined score of 21-10. Over the last five seasons, the Hitmen are 4-1 against Seattle including a 2-0 record at Kent. The last time the Thunderbirds beat the Hitmen was on November 11, 2011, when they produced a 5-4 victory at the Scotiabank Saddledome. 2015-16 SERIES RECAP Nov. 1/15 at CGY: CGY 4 SEA 3…The Hitmen overcame a 3-1 third period deficit, scoring the winner with 3.9 seconds left.

BACK TO SCHOOL: The Western Hockey League has announced 355 graduate players have been awarded scholarships for the fall semester of the 2016-17 academic year. Of those, 25 are former Calgary Hitmen players including Brendan Burke, Colby Harmsworth and Elliott Peterson off last season’s roster. This season, WHL Clubs will contribute in excess of $2.0 million to graduates utilizing the WHL Scholarship. MURRAY’S DEBUT: Hitmen defenceman Jameson Murray played his first career Western Hockey League game last Saturday against Swift Current. On Oct. 28, the club signed the 17-year-old rearguard to a WHL Standard Player Agreement and added him to the roster. Murray, 6-foot-3, 175 pounds, was a protected list addition last fall and had started the season playing midget AAA with the Okanagan Rockets. THE LEADERS: On Oct. 13, the Hitmen announced Micheal Zipp as the 24th captain in franchise history. Defenceman Jake Bean and forwards Beck Malenstyn, Tyler Mrkonjic and Taylor Sanheim will serve as alternate captains for the 2016-17 WHL season. SPECIAL TEAMS WATCH: The Hitmen power play is 8-70, operating at 11.4%. The penalty kill is 53-64 at 82.8%. PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: Matt Dorsey is in his rookie season with the Hitmen after being selected by the club in the third round, 63rd overall, in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. He sat out the last two seasons due to injury after recording 32 goals and 20 assists for 52 points in 30 games with the Arizona Bobcats (Tier 1 Bantam AAA) in 2013-14. Dorsey grew up in Wenatchee, Washington. The city of just over 32-thousand is about a two and half hour drive east of Seattle.
