Ice prospect F Sam Reinhart continues to light it up with the Vancouver NW Midget Giants at the Telus cup today with a goal and three assists today in a 6-1 rout of Halifax. Reinhart and linemate Alex Kerfoot - with a hat-trick and two helpers today - top the leaderboard stat-wise with 13 points in two games. Kerfoot is the property of the Seattle T-Birds but rumblings have him checking out his NCAA options... Game three for the Giants goes tomorrow against the host St. John's club... If this holds up, based on what I've seen and the results, the Giants could cruise to the final... But that's why they play the games...
Seen that the NHL has a 10-year deal with NBC for the American broadcast rights... Tell me why they wouldn't be on ESPN????.... NHL Rookie of the year finalists were announced today. Jeff Skinner of the Canes, Logan Couture of the Sharks and Michael Grabner of the Islanders. Grabner? He was a former Spokane Chief when the Canucks drafted him in the first round (14th overall) in 06. They were too deep down the middle and shipped him to Florida in the Keith Ballard deal. The Panthers waived him after a less-than-stellar training camp... The Isles picked him up for nothing... Chalk that one up to experience for Panther GM Dale Tallon.
Speaking of the Chiefs, Spokane can wrap their series with the Americans in six with a win tonight. The Winterhawks await...
More on the Ice/Tigers tomorrow.

It's Official, Bruins are moving to Victoria.
But we definitely aren't moving to Chilliwack. Season tickets for next season are now on sale at the ICE office at the same price for the third consecutive year. So get on out there and get them while they are hot. Remember the early bird price is available only until May 31 and remember the power payment plan as well. While you are at it, get those tickets for Games 3 and 4 next Tuesday and Wednesday. Let's get out there and fill the Plex and keep on cheering this awesome team of ours on. Let's not stop there; let's get so many fans at the Plex next season there won't ever be any notion of moving this team anywhere ever again! GO ICE GO!!
