VANCOUVER - At 15, Payton Lee is sometimes mentioned as the Vancouver Giants' goalie of the future but he appears far ahead of schedule.

The baby-faced midget callup won his second start in two tries Sunday, a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Thundebirds, and has become the goalie of the present with No. 1 man Adam Morrison sidelined by a head injury. Morrison's regular backup, Jackson Whistle, has struggled to get results, prompting coach Don Hay to give Lee an opportunity. The move turned out to be a mah-vellous one.

“Obviously I didn't expect to win two games,” Lee said. “I just thought I was going to come here and back up Jackson, who is a great goalie. It's been great to get some experience here.”

Lee, selected 28th in last May's bantam draft, stopped 24 Seattle shots to accompany the 19 saves he had in his Friday debut over Everett. Both were one-goal games but Lee showed no panic in the dying minutes either night.

Hay, a hard man to please, was impressed.

“He had a good weekend,” said The Don. “To come in and get two wins for us at a real critical time was important. He plays with a lot of confidence and he doesn't get rattled. Hopefully, he can continue to improve.”

Lee had an interesting night Sunday as the Giants held the T-Birds without a single shot during the first period. The shot total climbed to nine in the middle periood and 17 in the third when Seattle netted both its goals, one on a scramble and the other on a power play.

The Giants didn't ice their strongest lineup in front of Lee with both top defenceman David Musil (wrist) and top scorer Brendan Gallagher (shoulder) still sidelined by injury.

“For a callup goalie, at age 15, it can be intimidating in any league,” noted Giants defenceman Wes Vannieuwenhuizen. “Payton played very well for us. He looked really confident back there and, whenever your goalie is playing confidently, it puts confidence in the whole team.”

ICE on Trade Deadline Day

2012-01-10T15:08:00.002-07:00

ICE traded 18-year-old forward Brendan Hurley to Medicine Hat for a 2012 3rd round Bantam pick.
This year - 26 GP 3-3-6 29pm
Career - 150 GP 10-11-21 243pm
The ICE now have 12 forwards, 7 defensemen and 2 goalies.

Cranbrook, BC – Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has traded 18-year-old Forward Brendan Hurley to the Medicine Hat Tigers in exchange for a third round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft.
“With all our veteran players and returning 16-year-olds from the Under 17 Tournament Brendan was concerned with the ice time he would be getting moving forward. Ideally we would have liked to move him for a roster player, but when that didn’t materialize the draft pick was our next best option. The third round pick in 2012 will replace the one we traded to Swift Current in the Cody Eakin deal last January. We would like to thank Brendan for this time here and wish him all the best in Medicine Hat,” added Chynoweth
This trade leaves the Club with 12 forwards, eight defensemen and two goalies for the remainder of the 2011-2012 season.

Comments from GM Jeff Chynoweth
On other deals made around the WHL
"I have to be a little bit careful because I sorta created those high prices last year so I don't want to throw stones at some of my co-horts. At the same time those prices were little rich for us. Did we inquire about some of those players, absolutely. Would we have liked to make a few tweaks here with our hockey club, no doubt about it. But you have to have a dance partner and we didn't have much to offer in terms of bullets in the gun after last year(Eakin trade). We're happy with where we are, we only have 12 forwards but it allows those young kids who have been kinda fighting on the 4th line in-and-out of the lineup every night an opportunity to play more. Moving forward, next season we are going to have between 8 and 10 17-year-olds on our team so this is a good audition for them heading into next season."

On some East Conference teams getting stronger
"There's no question they did, but there is only one team that is going to come out of the East. You know I really like our hockey club, we think we have the best goalie in Canada in Nathan Lieuwen and one of the best forwards in Max Reinhart. Plus we know how to win. There's a number of players who have won a WHL Championship and there's very few players in our league let alone the Eastern Conference that can say that. I like what we have moving forward, it isn't always about making the big deal. We've got good chemistry, we've got good leadership, I really like our chances and we'll see how everything ends in the middle of May."

On Tanner Muth's 1st 2 games
"I'm very happy with Tanner. I thought opening night he had a few jitters early on, but after that altercation with Cody Beach I thought he really got into the game. I thought Sunday night against Medicine Hat he was outstanding. We are not asking him to be anything spectacular, just keep it simple and play Kootenay ICE structured hockey, that's what we want to play. It gives us some depth in that '93 age group and we're exicted to have him and hope he improves game-in and game-out."

On getting Luke Paulsen back
"That was the wild card coming in (to the trade deadline), was Luke's health. We don't know how long he is going to out but he will be back. He's a warrior for us. For what he went through last year with our hockey club I'll never forget what he did and I fully expect him to come back and give us that leadership and that on-ice ability that few players have."

ICE Scratches – Luke Paulsen, Mike Simpson, Jon Martin, Jesse Wood-Shatz.

Tanner Muth made his ICE debut wearing #4.
On finding out about the trade.
“I was excited to be coming to a team that has so much history with winning. Obviously going to the Memorial Cup last year and having a strong team this year makes it really exciting for me to make my first playoffs and hopefully have a long run.”
On his style of play
“I’m a stay-at-home defenseman, I like to rough it up, I’m pretty physical. I pride myself on making the first pass, if I need to I’ll fight, but I like to play a real hard physical game.”
On getting expecting getting lots of playing time
“Yeah definitely. As much as you can get on the ice you’re happy about it.”
On potential to playing his first WHL playoff game
“My first year when I was 16 we didn’t make the playoffs and last year with Swift Current we didn’t make the playoffs, so coming to a team that’s almost guaranteed to make the playoffs it’s really exciting.”
On his view of the ICE when playing against them
“Obviously coming into this barn we know how well Kootenay played in this rink all the time. We knew you guys had a lot of star forwards, just a real good all-around team and a real good goaltender. It was almost nervous, but at the same time you gotta just channel those nerves and just play your hardest. This is the team you had to be hard physical against and was a very hard team to play against.”

Jeff Chynoweth Comments

2012-01-06T12:52:00.000-07:00

On the trade.
"We are in the situation here where we need some defense help. Obviously John Neibrandt is going to come back tomorrow night but the big question mark is how long Luke Paulsen is going to be out with his concussion. You need some depth and it's tough to find '93 born defenseman in our league with WHL experience. Tanner has played for 3 years and this trade really works out for both teams. They were looking for a '93 forward in Adam Rossignol and we were looking for a '93 defenseman. Hopefully it works out for both teams. Adam had a good year for us but was really looking to get more ice time and that was something were couldn't really gaurantee him with all the returning forwards we had. From our end moving forward it gives us more depth this year and more options for next season.

On Tanner Muth
"He's a defensive defenseman. You look at his numbers he's a big guy, he can play physical. I know he's excited, I talked to Tanner today and I think this is an opportunity for him to come here and play some big minutes and right of the bat. Any player that's what they want is to play more, they always want to play more and they're never satisfied and so from Tanner's end this is a great opportunity and we are looking forward to getting him int our lineup."

On more trade before the deadline.
"You're always kicking tires with everybody and right now there is a lot of teams kicking tires. The problem we face is that we don't have many bullets left in the gun after the Cody Eakin deal from last year. We're not going to touch any of our '95 players or propsects because they're a big part of our team moving forward. If we can make our team better we will do that, we always have listened. Right now there is not a lot on the table. I do have a wish list but at this time I'm not going to tell you what it is."

Will the club's weekend games have any influence on the trade deadline.
"That's a good question, that's a really good question. I'm up and down, I call myself John Kerry, I flip and I flop on what we are going to do but we have a lot of players who were a part of our WHL Championship last year and there is no substitute for winning. In my opinion we have the best goaltender in Canada in Nathan Lieuwen, we have one of the best forwards in Max Reinhart so we have some pieces of the puzzle to make another run it's just how can we tweak it to give us more depth."

Rossignol Comments

2012-01-06T12:30:00.000-07:00

Adam Rossignol on being traded to the Broncos.
"I'm excited to be going to a new team. You know it's sad to leave a great organization here and I thank them for everything they've given me and I am better player for coming here and I'm looking forward to a new start."

On playing time with the Broncos.
"They've had a couple of injuries to their forwards, Hopefully I get the opportunity to play and I'm looking forward to it."

On the Broncos.
"I've played against them alot. They're a hard-nosed team and work hard. I know they have a storied past and I'm looking forward to joining the organization."

ICE Trade Rossignol For Muth

2012-01-06T12:04:00.001-07:00

Cranbrook, BC -- Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has acquired 18-year-old Defenseman Tanner Muth from the Swift Current Broncos in exchange for 18-year-old Forward Adam Rossignol.
“With the injuries we currently have to our defensemen we were looking to add depth and stability to our back end. It is very tough to find available defensemen in the 1993 age group that also have WHL experience. This transaction will also give us more options next season as we currently have three 19-year-old defensemen on our roster. We want to thank Adam for his contributions to our Club and wish him all the best in Swift Current,” added Chynoweth.
Tanner Muth, who was a second round selection of the Seattle Thunderbirds in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft (36th overall), will be in the line up tomorrow night against the Moose Jaw Warriors. Tickets are available at the Kootenay ICE Office or by calling 250-417-0322.

Ed Chynoweth Internship Program

2012-01-03T14:33:00.000-07:00

HOCKEY CANADA TEAMS UP WITH THE DARYL K. SEAMAN CANADIAN HOCKEY FUND TO ANNOUNCE THE ED CHYNOWETH INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

CALGARY, Alta. – Hockey Canada in partnership with the Canadian Hockey League, announced Tuesday a new internship program aimed at alumni of the Canadian Hockey League, National Women’s Team Programs, and National Men’s Team Programs who are pursuing careers in sports administration, communications, marketing or development.

The Ed Chynoweth Internship Program is named in honour of the late Canadian Hockey League and Program of Excellence founding member. Internships will be awarded annually to up to five outstanding college or university students who have completed or are working toward an undergraduate or graduate degree in a sports-related field.

Successful applicants of the Ed Chynoweth Internship program will be spend up to eight months working in their chosen field in one of the three CHL offices across the country, or with Hockey Canada in either the Calgary or Ottawa office. Internship award winners will receive a monthly stipend to cover living expenses.

In both their professional and personal lives, interested applicants should represent the high standards and ideals characterized by Chynoweth throughout his life, including determination, enthusiasm and integrity. A committee comprised of representatives from Hockey Canada, the Ontario Hockey League, Western Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, will choose recipients of the Ed Chynoweth Internship. Up to four applicants annually will be CHL alumni, while one will be an alumnus of Canada’s National Women’s’ Team programs.

Ed Chynoweth became the Western Hockey League’s first fulltime president in 1972 and was a long-time president of the Canadian Hockey League from 1975 to 1995. He captured two WHL championships and one Memorial Cup as president and governor of the Kootenay Ice and is considered to be one of the most influential individuals in Canadian junior hockey. Ed passed away in April of 2008 at the age of 66.

“Hockey Canada is privileged to honor Ed Chynoweth. Ed would be delighted to see an award in his name dedicated to the advancement of the careers of CHL and Hockey Canada alumni who are focused on a career in sport administration,” said Paul Carson, Hockey Canada’s vice-president of hockey development. “Ed Chynoweth was a true reflection of all the positive qualities one needs to succeed in the sports industry.”

The Ed Chynoweth Internship Awards are made possible through a generous contribution from the Daryl K.
