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.
