Cranbrook Ed's
New Baseball Franchise to be named 'Cranbrook Eds'
East Kootenay - The Home Run Society has taken the WMBL's conditional franchise to the next level, and today announced it's team name - 'the Cranbrook Eds'. The event held at McDonald's Restaurant, was highlighted by the unveiling of the logo that will be used in it's future marketing. The logo features a mascot style elephant holding a baseball bat in its trunk, wearing a vintage baseball cap circa 1926 when the story of 'Cranbrook Ed' unfolded.
'Ed' was one of the many circus elephants that escaped from the Sells Floto travelling circus that was passing through Cranbrook in 1926. Most of the elephants were caught soon after escaping, but 'Ed' remained elusive for weeks, finally being tracked and captured by Ktunaxa guides. The lost elephant story put Cranbrook on news headlines around the world, and left the region buzzing with excitement. The Sells Floto circus felt it only appropriate to re-name the elephant 'Cranbrook Ed' to honour the citizens who had supported their long effort to capture him.
"The story of the lost elephant was very compelling to our group, and we have been working on this marketing concept for a few years," said Garry Slonowski, President of the Home Run Society. "We felt that we wanted a concept that was unique in the sports marketing world, tied into local history, and reflected the long and storied past that baseball has in our region. We hope that over time, the community will embrace the Cranbrook Eds concept, and it will become an icon of our community."
"We also felt the need to move the concept forward at this time in order to help people envision what we are trying to bring to our community," continued Slonowski. "The WMBL is an established league, a high calibre of baseball, and great family entertainment. We believe this will be a wonderful addition to the activities that are available in our region during the summer months."
"The logo itself was created by Arthur Tank, owner of Wolfpack Signs and Printing, who already has many of the local sports teams identities accredited to his artistic talents. We always knew that Arthur was the person we wanted to create the logo, and we were very fortunate to have his incredible skills at our disposal. We are extremely pleased with how it turned out, and feel it captures what we are striving to achieve with our marketing."
The biggest barrier still facing Cranbrook is a WMBL-ready stadium. However, the Home Run Society has been working towards achieving this goal for a number of years, and is in the final stages of completing a feasibility study for a new baseball stadium.
The study, funded by the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program, contracted GEC Architecture to design a scalable facility that would meet the needs of the City and Region for many years to come. GEC Architecture is well known for recreational facility design, with past achievements including the Olympic Saddledome in Calgary. The completed feasibility study is scheduled to be presented at the Monday February 7th City Council meeting, and will be released to the public shortly after.
Those interested in learning more about the Cranbrook Eds are encouraged to visit - www.CranbrookEds.com - where you can also sign up to receive announcements, including images of the proposed new stadium when they are released.

Outdoor Thoughts
The Kootenay ICE were involved in history on Saturday as they played in Spokane in the 1st ever WHL Outdoor Game.
The ICE will remember it for all the wrong reasons as they lost 11-2.
Elgin Pearce and Joe Antilla had the ICE goals.
It seemed like the ICE were trying to enjoy the novelty of the Outdoor Game and still try to treat it like a regular game. Before the game was 13 minutes old they were down 4-0.
It's debatable how much the Chiefs benefited from having a practice on the outdoor rink on Thursday. You have to think the ICE would have been more prepared with at least 1 practice. Especially the goalies who seem to struggle to see the puck and how to play their angles.
How strange was it to see the players with eye black?
How much were the Chiefs distracted during Friday's game in Cranbrook knowing what was happening on Saturday?
The 9-goal margin was the 2nd worst for the club since they moved to Cranbrook. On March 12th 1999 they lost 11-0 in Brandon.
Luke Paulsen left the game after getting elbowed in the head and Joey Leach left the game with a sore foot after blocking a shot.
The ICE did not score a powerplay goal and that ended their streak at 13 consecutive games with a PPG.
My thanx to Spokane's Jay Stewart who all week long made sure my broadcast booth had everything I needed. The former Chiefs play-by-play announcer has been on the office staff since leaving the radio gig and knows what us announcers require.
During the game he kept me up to date with the goals, assists and penalties with hand written notes. He knew the PA announcements were impossible to understand in the radio booth.
Plus he did all this will wearing a Tuxedo.
Also, thanx to our Off The Net feature where I receive emails during the broadcast, I was made aware that the Shaw broadcast was not working.
No one from the WHL or TV staff let me know any details to help with your inquiries.
Again, Jay Stewart found the information I needed and said there was a satellite link problem.
After the broadcast was done, I saw a WHL press release saying it would be re-broadcast later. I felt bad I didn't have the information earlier.
Why wouldn't the TV people think to let us know the information? One Shaw TV person before the game said "Have fun with your broadcast. No one will be listening as this game is on Shaw TV, ha ha ha." I took the comment as a light hearted joke with no ill intent as I'm sure was intended. But, Saturday was a reminder of the power of radio.
Overall a busy weekend as we did over 20 interviews for the 2 games.
During the weekend the teams combined for 21 goals and 12 fights.

WHL Outdoor Game Update
The first outdoor game in Western Hockey League history is just around the corner as the Spokane Chiefs get ready to host the Kootenay Ice for the Rockstar Outdoor Hockey Classic at Avista Stadium in Spokane, WA, on Saturday, January 15th.
Preparations are underway at Avista Stadium, the home of the Spokane Indians baseball Club, for Saturday’s contest, and players from the Chiefs and Ice are beginning to get excited to take part in what will be an historic event for the WHL and the two Clubs.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Chiefs’ veteran captain Tyler Johnson. “Watching (the rink) get built at the stadium, you get the jitters thinking about getting out there on Saturday.
“Our whole team is pretty excited,” he said.
Staging the first-ever outdoor WHL game is an historic moment for the Spokane Chiefs and the Spokane community. Chiefs’ general manager Tim Speltz says the buzz in the Spokane community is growing as work continues in preparation for Saturday’s game.
“It’s been a really exciting process, and it’s been everything we’ve hoped for,” said Speltz, who has put together two Memorial Cup Championship teams in his time in Spokane. “We’ve had great support and interest from the community, and we’ve had great support from the media.
“This event means a lot to the Spokane Chiefs hockey club, and it’s going to be really great for our fans and everyone in the Spokane community,” he said.
Adding to the excitement is the fact that Saturday’s contest features two of the WHL’s top teams in Spokane and Kootenay.
The Chiefs are the highest scoring team in the WHL, and currently find themselves among the top teams in the Western Conference, while the perennially-strong Ice find themselves among the Eastern Conference’s elite. Saturday’s meeting will be the second of back-to-back encounters between the teams after they meet up in Cranbrook, B.C., on Friday night.
“All the boys are pretty excited to play in the first outdoor game in the WHL,” said veteran Kootenay defenseman Brayden McNabb. “Spokane has a really good team this season, and we are looking forward to seeing how we stack up against them.
“At this point in the season, points matter a lot in the standings, and there are two points available from this game, too,” he added.
Playing the game in the open-aired Avista Stadium, both teams know they should be prepared for anything Mother Nature can throw at them.
One only has to look at the history of outdoor games in the NHL to see the role that weather plays in the whole experience. From bitter cold to heavy snow to rain, as was seen at this year’s Heritage Classic in Pittsburgh, the players all know they have to be ready to deal with conditions they would never face in an arena.
“We’ve heard a lot of different forecasts for what the weather is going to be like,” said Johnson. “I’ve heard we can expect anything from snow to thunderstorms to windy conditions to calm conditions.
“Both teams will have to face the same conditions, so there won’t be any advantage or disadvantage for either team,” he said.
NOTES: Saturday’s Rockstar Outdoor Hockey Classic is the first of two outdoor WHL games on the schedule for this season…The Calgary Hitmen will host the Regina Pats on February 21st at McMahon Stadium…Saturday’s Rockstar Outdoor Hockey Classic can be seen live throughout western Canada on SHAW and live in Spokane on SWX…FSN Northwest will air the game on tape-delay at 10:00pm PST…The Chiefs are holding an Open Skate for the public at Avista Stadium on Friday prior to Saturday’s game.

ICE Trade A Closer Look
The ICE have created a buzz in what has turned out to be an 8-for-1 trade to acquire Cody Eakin.
As we have talked about in our recent broadcasts, the ICE had the chips to play to make a deal like this and not hurt the club in the near or long future.
With 18 returning players they had room for only 4 rookies this season (1 18-year-old and 3 17-year-olds).
Usually the ICE have 6-8 rookies and this year there were 4-5 players who looked good enough to earn a spot in the WHL.
The ICE had 11 picks in the 1st 7 rounds of the 2010 Bantam Draft and there are many solid prospects.
Even after yesterday's trade the ICE have 8 picks in the 1st 6 rounds of the 2011 Bantam Draft.
Having watched everyday of training camp, following the Prospects stats and talking with ICE scouts throughout the year, there are lots of solid prospects on the ICE list.
They still have their top 2 goalie prospects (Skapski and Hoflin).
No defenseman prospects were traded. Top prospects include Faith, Hubic and Simpson.
They still have most of their top 10 forward prospects, 5 of which should seriously challenge for a roster spot next season. (Cable, Descheneau, Reinhart, Iron, Philp)
Plus the ICE can also select 1-2 Import players.
That's a total of 10-12 potenial new players ready to play in the WHL.
As of now the ICE have 3 over-agers and 7 19 year-olds so there will be at least 7 roster openings next year.
The ICE gave a great package of players to the Broncos and that will help them be a solid franchise for years to come.
Too much? Probably, but their recent history of stock piling picks gave them the luxury of going forward with the deal.
Imagine how hard it was for Swift Current to make the trade. It's like if the ICE traded Nigel Dawes in 2005.
2 years ago when the ICE traded Negrin and Stickland to the Broncos they received Magnus, Martin, 2nd round pick (Tanner Faith) and 4th round pick (Cole DePape). At the time many though the Broncos gave up too much.
Yes the ICE gave up a lot but Eakin is a world class player who wants to play for Kootenay and wants to win a WHL Championship.

Eakin To ICE
Cranbrook, BC -- Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has acquired 19-year-old Forward Cody Eakin from the Swift Current Broncos in exchange for 18-year-old Forward Christian Magnus and prospects Ryan Bloom (1993 Forward- Drumheller Dragons – AJHL), Jarett Zentner (1993 Forward - Calgary Mustangs – AJHL), Colby Cave (1994 Forward - Battleford Stars – SMAAAHL) and Steven Myland (1994 Goaltender - Valley West Hawks – BCMMHL) along with a first and second round draft pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft and a third round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft.
“This was not an overnight decision and as an organization we have had ongoing discussions on how to improve our Hockey Club to challenge for a WHL Championship this season. We have acquired one of the WHL’s premier offensive players which will add offense to an already balanced team. To get a player the caliber of Cody Eakin you have to give up a lot and we feel we definitely stepped up to the plate and parted with very good players and very high draft picks. We appreciate the quality of the people and players going to Swift Current and we wish them all the best in the future,” added Chynoweth.
Cody Eakin suffered a minor hand injury playing for Team Canada at the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championships in Buffalo, NY and is expected to be out of action one to two weeks.

Here's a message from Steele Boomer's Mom ...
Hi Jeff,
First of all, thank you for making the Ice broadcasts so entertaining. I have really enjoyed listening to them the past few years. I am also a faithful follower of your blog.
I just wanted you to know that I will be at the game in Edmonton – Hockey Hooky – with my class. I teach kids with ‘alternate learning abilities’ in Edmonton and will be bringing them to the game again this year. While 6,000 screaming kids is not a walk in the park, it is a wonderful way for many children to be able to see a ‘professional’ hockey game, some for the first, and possibly only, time. I am trying to encourage my students to cheer for Kootenay, and it does seem to be working well! We have been reading a book in our class that was donated to our school in 1997 by Kris Knoblauch, then a member of the Edmonton Ice. I didn’t realize the significance of the book when I chose it. The kids really feel some ownership of the team!
I am not able to get to many games in Cranbrook but want everyone to know how much my husband and I have appreciated the support the town has given our son over the past 4 years. Thank you to everyone who has made the decision to let our son move away a positive one.
