WELCOME TO THE 2017-18 WHL SEASON FROM

WHL COMMISSIONER Calgary, Alta. – As we get set for another Western Hockey League season, there is no shortage of excitement as we eagerly await the opportunity to once again watch the world’s premier junior hockey players in action in each of our 22 markets across Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Ron Robison Commissioner Western Hockey League

In this the 52nd season of the WHL, our Clubs remain truly committed to providing our players with the highest standard of development, both on and off the ice. We are proud to continue offering our players exactly that, from world-class coaching and management, to a comprehensive WHL Scholarship and education program to a series of Players First support services designed to ensure they develop in a highly positive environment. \ Having awarded a WHL record 374 post-secondary scholarships to WHL graduates this past season, the WHL Scholarship each year provides players with an unparalleled opportunity to pursue their academic endeavours. Of the 374 WHL Graduates to access their WHL Scholarship last season, 185 furthered their hockey careers by playing Canadian University hockey at the U SPORTS level. We anticipate the number of players receiving WHL Scholarships will continue to grow as our graduates take advantage of the WHL Scholarship benefits. On the ice, the 2017-18 season will undoubtedly be one worth remembering, with Regina set to celebrate its centennial season and getting ready to host the 100th edition of the Mastercard Memorial Cup in May. The province of Saskatchewan will also take centre stage in November when Moose Jaw and Swift Current play host to the 2017 CIBC Canada – Russia Series. Without the support of our loyal fans, our corporate partners, broadcasters and media, none of this would be possible. Your ongoing support and dedication to the WHL and our 22 Member Clubs is greatly appreciated. The 2017-18 WHL season promises to be highly entertaining from start to finish. I am sure you will enjoy cheering on your favourite WHL Club as well as watching these top prospects continue their development, both on and off the ice.

ABOUT THE WHL

Central Division Calgary Hitmen Edmonton Oil Kings Kootenay ICE Lethbridge Hurricanes Medicine Hat Tigers Red Deer Rebels

The Western Hockey League started with just seven teams based in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1966. Today, the WHL 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: Ontatio Hockey League (OHL), 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 Leagues’ 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, 20% of all NHL players are graduates of the WHL. The WHL is also a leading provider of post-secondary scholarships with over 400 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 Hockey League Champion Seattle Thunderbirds 2017- 18 season as the T-Birds defend their WHL Championship! The season commences with a thrilling celebration at ShoWareCenter as the T-Birds will celebrate theirhistoric 2016-2017 season by raising the Western Conference Champion and Western Hockey League Champion banners. This will be an exciting season under the direction of former assistant coach and now head coach, Matt O’Dette. There will be several new faces but also many key returners. Jarret Tyszka was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2017 NHL Draft. Three other players from last year’s Championship team attended NHL Development Camps this summer: Nolan Volcan (Pittsburgh Penguins), Turner Ottenbreit (Anaheim Ducks) and Sami Moilanen (Colorado Avalanche). Carl Stankowski, who backstopped the T-Birds to their first WHL Championship in franchise history, will be back in net this season. Watch out for some rookies to have an impact this season, including new Russian forward Nikita Malukhin and last year’s first overall Bantam Pick defenseman Jake Lee. Returning this year is the T-Birds’ popular 2-for-Tuesday promotion, where fans can enjoy two-for-one tickets and beer along with $2 concession specials. Pub Nights, Turkey Shoot and Ham Shoot are great games to make it out to. You also won’t want to miss the first annual Weiner Dog Races this season. If you’re a new visitor to ShoWare Center, you should know we are immensely proud of this 9-year-old state-of-the-art arena. The 6,125 seats, 20 suites and astonishing Heritage Club seating have unsurpassed 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 postgame gatherings, but don’t leave your car there during an event as it 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 are calling your name.

Go Birds!

Suzette Cooke Mayor, City of Kent

PORTLAND WINTERHAWKS GAME NOTES WINTERHAWKS (44-21-1-4) at THUNDERBIRDS (33-27-8-2) March 17th, 2018 LAST GAME: PORTLAND 8 vs. SEATTLE 3: It was a night Winterhawks’ forward Cody Glass won’t soon forget. Glass had a hat-trick, five points and registered his 100th point of the season to lead Portland to an 8-3 victory over Seattle at the Moda Center on Friday. It was Seattle getting on the board first, with Nolan Volcan banging home a rebound with 2:16 remaining in the period to give the Thunderbirds a 1-0 lead. Seattle would carry that lead into the second period. But just 4:46 into the second frame, Henri Jokiharju buried his 11th of the season on a hard shot from the top of the right circle to tie things at one. Then, just passed the midway point of the period, it was Cody Glass beating Liam Hughes for his 35th of the season to give the Hawks the lead. Just over three minutes later, Clay Hanus went end-to-end to set up Kieffer Bellows right on the doorstep to make it 3-1 Portland. For Bellows, it was his 40th of the season. The Winterhawks were not done yet, as late in the frame it was Glass again taking the puck from out of the corner and beating Hughes for his second goal and third point of the night. In the third, Portland kept pouring it on. Off a Glass faceoff win, Skyler McKenzie riffled one home to make it 51 Hawks. For McKenzie, it was his 100th career Western Hockey League goal. Glass picked up his fourth point of the game and 99th point on the year. After Seattle made it 5-2, the Hawks came right back with two more from Reece Newkirk and Brendan De Jong to extend their lead to 7-2. Then, with less then six minutes remaining, Glass capped off an incredible night with a wicked wrister from between the hash marks for his hat-trick goal. It also marked his 100th point of the season, becoming the first Winterhawk to reach the 100-point plateau since Oliver Bjorkstrand in 2015. The 9,676 Winterhawk fans littered the Moda Center ice with their hats and gave Glass a standing ovation. Seattle would add one late to make it a 8-2 final. Cole Kehler made 24 saves for Portland to register his 30th save of the season. The Hawks improved to 44-21-1-4 on the season with the victory.
