Descheneau Named WHL & CHL POW
The Western Hockey League announced today that Kootenay Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau is the WHL & CHL Player of the Week for the week ending March 30, 2014.
Descheneau scored seven goals and added eight assists for 15 points to go with a +4 rating in four games over the past week, helping the Ice to three victories in that span as they eliminated the Calgary Hitmen in the first round of the 2014 WHL playoffs.
On Monday, March 24, Descheneau scored once and picked up five assists for six points while being named the game’s 1st Star in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Hitmen in Game 3 of the series in Cranbrook, B.C. On Tuesday, March 25, he scored the game-winning goal in the final minute of regulation play, added an assist, and was selected as the game’s 1st Star in a 5-4 triumph over the visiting Hitmen in Game 4. On Thursday, March 27, Descheneau scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist while earning 2nd Star honors in a 6-5 win in Calgary in Game 5 of the series. On Saturday, March 29, Descheneau tallied three goals and an assist while claiming 1st Star honors in a 5-3 victory over the Hitmen in Cranbrook, giving the Ice a 4-2 best-of-seven series win.
Descheneau, 1995-born right wing from Edmonton, AB, is in his third season in the WHL with the Kootenay Ice. The 5’9”, 186-lb forward amassed 44 goals and 98 points in 70 regular-season games for Kootenay this season, and currently leads all players in post-season scoring with seven goals and 17 points in just six games. A third-round pick, 62nd overall, by Kootenay in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, Descheneau has accumulated 77 goals and 190 points in 193 career regular-season games. He is eligible for the 2014 NHL Draft.
The WHL has also nominated Patrik Polivka of the Victoria Royals for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week award. A product of Plzen, Czech Republic, who just celebrated his 20th birthday, Polivka posted a 2-0 record in two road starts over the past week, allowing just three goals on 55 shots for a 1.50 goals-against average and a .945 save percentage, as the Royals completed a 4-0 best-of-seven series sweep of the Spokane Chiefs in their opening-round series of the 2014 WHL playoffs. On Wednesday, March 26, Polivka stopped 20 of 21 shots as the Royals skated to a 6-1 victory over the Chiefs in Game 3 of the series in Spokane, WA. On Thursday, March 27, he turned aside 32 of 34 shots while claiming 3rd Star honors in a 4-2 series-clinching victory in Spokane. Polivka is in his second season in the WHL with the Royals. Victoria’s first-round pick, 14th overall, in the 2012 CHL Import Draft, Polivka has appeared in 96 career regular-season contests, posting a 56-28-2-5 record with seven shutouts, a 2.92 GAA and a .904 save percentage. He is a free agent.

Bozon Update
Play video http://globalnews.ca/saskatoon/">http://globalnews.ca/saskatoon/">http://globalnews.ca/saskatoon/
SASKATOON, SK – Kootenay Ice player Tim Bozon is making remarkable strides as he recovers from meningitis, which sent him to hospital four weeks ago tomorrow. Bozon, who was in a medically induced coma for most of those four weeks, walked into a news conference today to thank everyone.
“From what I have learned since coming out of the coma, the people here at the Royal University Hospital went to amazing lengths to save my life. To them, first and foremost, my heartfelt thanks. But I must also extend gratitude to everyone who sent me their thoughts and prayers, especially my parents, who rushed here from France to be by my side,” commented Tim.
Tim’s father, Philippe, also expressed his thanks to the medical staff and all the people who signed cards, emailed wishes and donated money. “This has been unbelievable. It’s terrible to have to see your son go through this but the outpouring of support and quality of care at the hospital has been amazing.“
Tim's neurologist, Dr. Gary Hunter, acknowledged Tim has recuperated incredibly well but cautioned there may be months of rehabilitation still ahead. “We are optimistic he will make a full recovery but it will take some time before that possibility could be realized.”
Tim is working on regaining strength and improving coordination. He will have more rehabilitation after he has been discharged from hospital and the medical costs are already far exceeding the insurance coverage. People are encouraged to make contributions to the Tim Bozon Trust Fund at any Bank of Montreal in Western Canada or through the Western Hockey League Office in Calgary.
Tim is being discharged from Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon today and is planning to travel to Cranbrook, B.C., to be with his Kootenay teammates at their next playoff game against the Calgary Hitmen Saturday night. At the game, Tim Bozon is scheduled to return to the ice to drop the puck in a ceremonial face-off.
