DINOS, WHL HONOUR ED CHYNOWETH WITH SCHOLARSHIP
CALGARY, AB – The University of Calgary Dinos and the Western Hockey League are honouring the memory of longtime WHL President Ed Chynoweth with a scholarship in his name.
The Ed Chynoweth Memorial Hockey Award will be presented annually to a former WHL player who is pursuing his studies while continuing to play high-level hockey at the University of Calgary.
Ed was a firm believer in education for WHL players and was the driving force behind the WHL's Scholarship Program, which provides funds to former players to continue their educations at Canadian post-secondary institutions.
“It is very fitting the University of Calgary would create a scholarship in Ed's name given how instrumental he was as former WHL President establishing the League-wide scholarship program,” commented WHL Commissioner Ron Robison. “The new Ed Chynoweth Memorial Award will only further enhance opportunities for WHL graduates to pursue a University Degree while playing hockey for the University of Calgary.”
Chynoweth was the first full-time president of the WHL, holding the post from 1972-1995 before leaving to form the expansion Edmonton Ice (now Kootenay Ice). He served as President and Governor of the ice until his death in 2005 after battling kidney cancer. He was 66.
To honour the late League President, the Western Hockey League renamed its championship trophy the Ed Chynoweth Cup in 2007.
“Ed Chynoweth always believed in the value of education, and its power when combined with sport,” said Ron Wuotila, director of athletics and recreation at the University of Calgary. “It is a perfect fit for us to join with the WHL to create this award in his memory so that deserving hockey players can have the chance to get a great education while continuing to fulfill their passion for the game. Our thanks to Ed’s wife Linda, and a special congratulations to Jack Neumann, who was really the driving force behind the creation of this award.”
Prior to Friday night’s Dinos home opener at Father David Bauer Arena, Linda Chynoweth will be presented with a Dinos jersey by Wuotila along with Richard Doerksen, vice president (hockey) of the Western Hockey League.
To donate to the Ed Chynoweth Memorial Hockey Award, please contact Jack Neumann at (403) 220-3424 or neumann@ucalgary.ca.

This year, there are 120 people relying on this worthwhile Program to share in the excitement of watching the ICE games. These individuals would not normally have the opportunity to attend ICE home games without your sponsorship. Many of them are often isolated and they greatly appreciate joining our community at the Rec Plex.
We understand that these are challenging economic times. To date we have managed to get sponsorships for 60 Reach Out tickets and we thank those individuals who have purchased them.
The deadline for this program is September 30.

Teskey Reassigned
Cranbrook, BC -- Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has reassigned 18-year-old goaltender Brett Teskey to a team and League to be determined.
"With three goaltenders vying for two spots we felt to be fair to the goalies it was important to get down to our roster sooner rather than later. It is always difficult when you have to release a veteran player and we would like to thank Brett for his contribution to our Championship team last year and wish him all the best in his future hockey endeavours," added Chynoweth.
As a result of today's transaction, the ICE are carrying two goaltenders, eight defencemen and 16 forwards. Of those, Drew Czerwonka (Edmonton), Max Reinhart (Calgary) and James Martin (Calgary) still remain at NHL Training Camps.
The ICE Home Opener will be September 24 against the Calgary Hitmen at 6:55 pm. Tickets are available at the Kootenay ICE Office or by calling 250-417-0322. The Recplex Box Office will be open starting at 12:00 pm on Saturday, September 24.

Adam Rossignol has switched #8 for #15 which was Steele Boomer's last year.
Dylan McKinlay will have #8.

10 Things I Think I Think
1. I think because of 5 players at NHL camps and 2 injuries the ICE keeping 27 players on the roster makes mathematical sense. They’ll have enough bodies to have complete line-up for the weekend games.
2. I think the ICE have no regrets in using very young line-ups during the preseason. Wins and losses mean nothing in the exhibition season. A few of the games the opposition had 3 20-years olds and 7-8 19-year olds and beat the ICE by lopsided scores. But the ICE have better understanding on who is ready to play in the WHL than they did 2 weeks ago.
3. I think the ICE will use 20-year-old forwards Joe Antilla and Jesse Ismond this weekend as over-agers. Nathan Lieuwen and James Martin may still be with their NHL teams. Antilla arrived in Cranbrook a few days ago but was still waiting for his equipment to arrive from San Jose.
4. I think looking down the road for next year they ICE have to be concerned they have only one 18-year-old defenseman (Dirk) and one 17-year-old forward (Cable).
5. I think looking down the road for the next few years the ICE have to be excited they had 8 16-year-olds seriously challenge for a roster spot this year.
6. I think the ICE and all WHL teams are at the mercy of NHL as they wait for players to be returned to junior.
7. I think when I was attending the ICE practices this week and looked up to the Rec-Plex rafters and noticed they moved the current banners over to make room for 2 new ones is when I started to really look forward to the home opener. Whether you went to one game or all of them last year, you should be a part of the special ceremonies on Saturday.
8. I think I’m surprised the ICE Reach Program idea hasn’t caught on in other WHL cities.
9. I think one of the best parts of a new season is reading over the ICE Record Book. I’m not sure how many WHL teams have such a book but I’m glad the ICE have documented their entire history. It’s now 156 pages.
10. I think these are my non-hockey thoughts.
a) I’ll give Netflex and try for the 1-month trail. The complete history of The Larry Sanders Show is going to great to watch. Hey Now.
b) Watching House without the character Cuddy is going to be a totally different show.
c) If the Red Sox didn’t win the 04 & 07 World Series’, their fans would be unbearable with what has happened this month.

I think when I was attending the ICE practices this week and looked up to the Rec-Plex rafters and noticed they moved the current banners over to make room for 2 new ones is when I started to really look forward to the home opener. Whether you went to one game or all of them last year, you should be a part of the special ceremonies on Saturday.
8. I think I’m surprised the ICE Reach Program idea hasn’t caught on in other WHL cities.
9. I think one of the best parts of a new season is reading over the ICE Record Book. I’m not sure how many WHL teams have such a book but I’m glad the ICE have documented their entire history. It’s now 156 pages.
10. I think these are my non-hockey thoughts.
a) I’ll give Netflex and try for the 1-month trail. The complete history of The Larry Sanders Show is going to great to watch. Hey Now.
b) Watching House without the character Cuddy is going to be a totally different show.
c) If the Red Sox didn’t win the 04 & 07 World Series’, their fans would be unbearable with what has happened this month.

Some of those finals decisions are delayed as they still have 5 players at NHL camps and have a few players with injuries.

ICE Weekend
ICE will finish their exhibition schedule with 2 games this weekend in the Crowsnest Pass.
Friday 7p vs Lethbridge and Sunday 2p vs Calgary.
Period reports on radio, updates on blog and twitter.
Not much else happening with the club as they still have 6 players at NHL camps and a couple guys injured.
If you didn't hear the comments on the radio from Kris Knoblauch who was with Jeff Chynoweth in Calgary for the WHL 7-Point Plan seminar to deal with concussions eralier this week, he says the penalties for dangerous hits and hits to the head will result in longer suspensions.
He feels the league does not want to get rid of the physical play just the dangerous hits.
Next step is to inform the players and teach everyone on how to make things safer for the players.
Details of the plan are on the WHL website.

WHL Seminar
Calgary, AB – For the first time in recent WHL history, all 22 WHL General Managers and Head Coaches will be in attendance for a seminar in Calgary, Alberta on Tuesday, September 13. Following the WHL AGM in June, a Seven Point Plan was adopted by the WHL to reduce blows to the head and concussions. One point in the plan was for all WHL Head Coaches and General Managers to take part in a seminar conducted by the WHL to fully review the Seven Point Plan in detail and to go over the new WHL Playing Rule changes that coincide with the plan.
--------------------------------------
WHL SEVEN POINT PLAN
The WHL Seven Point Plan is a comprehensive approach to addressing this important matter and includes the adoption of new playing rules; more severe suspensions for repeat offenders; production of an educational video on risks of concussions to educate the players to be more responsible for themselves on the ice; a seminar for all WHL Head Coaches and General Managers; new soft cap elbow and shoulder pads; expanded research data and a review of all WHL arena facilities safety standards.
The WHL Playing Rule changes includes the adoption of a Checking to the Head penalty for lateral and blind side hits to an unsuspecting opponent in open ice where the head is targeted or is the principle point of contact. The WHL also tightened the standard on late hits as well as charging and interference penalties to address players building up significant speed and hitting the opponent along the boards with excessive force. The WHL also adopted a new embellishment rule and introduced automatic suspensions for players who receive multiple penalties for checking to the head, checking from behind, embellishment and kneeing.

10 Things I Think I Think
1. I think it would be great if Cranbrook could host an WHL Exhibition Tournament. Biggest challenge is enough dressing rooms to host 3-4 more teams for 4-5 days. Tri City has been a great host the past 2 years the ICE have attended.
2. I think it was great to have 15-year-old Collin Shirley, the clubs' 1st pick in the 2011 Bantam Draft, play in 3 preseason games. Sonehow the ICE have another solid prospect even though they continue to draft late in the 1st round.
3. I think of the 3 goalies who played in preseason games Mackenzie Skapski had the best performance.
4. I think during training camp Brett Teskey was the most consistent.
5. I think of the 3 rookie defensemen who played on the weekend Spencer Wand had the best performance.
6. I think during training camp not much seperated Wand, Jeff Hubic and Mike Simpson in the battle for 2 defenseman roster spots.
7. I think of the 8 rookie forwards who played in Tri City it was Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau who stood out in a great way.
8. I think during training camp Jesse Wood-Shatz joined Reinhart and Descheneau in having great camps.
9. I think it's going to be very tough for the ICE to be down to 22 players for their final roster. Some times the final cut is the hardest, this year it might be the final 3 cuts.
10. I think these are my non-hockey thoughts.
a) There will be an announcement soon from the Homerun Society. Hopefully this is the last summer without full-time baseball in Cranbrook.
b) If you have a bucket list, visiting Ground Zero should be added.
c) Bring on the new Fall TV Season.
