Tri-City Americans on Deck

The Ams visit the Rec Plex Wednesday night as Bob Tory's club comes to Cranbrook for the first time in two seasons.

The biggest news is that Ice captain F Drew Czerwonka will be out of the line-up for a week with what's termed an 'upper body' injury. I'm told it's a concussion after he was run into the boards by Rebels D Alex Petrovic Saturday in the 4-3 OT loss, but that is of course unconfirmed in today's world

D Luke Paulsen will return and as long as the kids are keeping up with their school work, F Joe Antilla should be able to return to the front lines from a weekend on the blueline.

There was a chance that Czerwonka might be a game-time decision for Wednesday but a week is the minimum in these injuries.

With the Tigers winning 6-3 over the T-Birds tonight they take over top spot in the WHL at 29 points, two clear of the Ice who have two games in hand.

The Ams, at 12-5-0-0 and 24 points, lead the U.S. Division.

On the stats front the Ice have put up their club record book on their website. It's here.

It's a great read and is an interesting trip down memory lane, at least from a stats standpoint.

Are the kids not keeping up with their schoolwork??

Last weekend rookies Spencer Wand, Jaedon Descheneau and goalie Mackenzie Skapski all were sat out (Skapski was scheduled to start but didn't) because of what assistant coach Jerry Bancks terms "educational reasons".

That could mean a bunch of different things but all to do with their schooling.
