Ice face Hitmen in home and home....

Kootenay will face the Calgary Hitmen in a good test of where the resurgent Ice sit matching up against the number club in the WHL. There'll be no recap here for Friday's game as I'll be away with my Peewee club for the weekend.

Here's some head-to-head stats. One note though, take away Brandon Kozun and Calgary's scoring looks much like Kootenay's. That's how much of a difference an impact player like Kozun can make.
