ICE Camp Report
There are 56 players at camp.
6 are goalies.
There is a big change in the goaltending department as Wyatt Hoflin is now the #1 netminder.
It's his 3rd year with the ICE.
Last year he won the last 3 games of the first round playoff series against Calgary.
Mackenzie Skapski has signed a contract with the NHL New York Rangers and could still be returned to the WHL but the ICE aren't expecting him to return.
The battle is on for the back-up job.
Watch out for - 18-year-old Jayden Sittler who played 1 game with the ICE last year and earned a win in his hometown of Red Deer.
18-year-old Keelan Williams is in his 1st camp with the ICE and played in the AJHL last year.
16-year-old Declan Hobbs is a highly touted netminder who was selected in the 3rd round of the 2013 Bantam draft.
18 are defensemen, 5 played full-time with the ICE last season.
They are Troy Murray, Jordan Steenbergen, Tyler King, Rinat Valiev and Tanner Faith.
The ICE usually carry 7 defensemen during the season so that means there are at least 2 spots open for some new blueliners.
Watch out for - 17-year-old Dylan Overydyk played 4 games with the ICE last season and is a former 2nd round pick by the ICE in the 2012 Bantam Draft.
16-year-old Cale Fleury is the younger brother of Red Deer's Haydn Fleury who was just selected in the first round of the NHL Draft. Like his brother Cale is a great skater and had a great camp with the ICE last year.
Griffen Mendel is at camp, he was the club's 1st pick in this summer's Bantam draft and is too young to play in the WHL full-time this season, but fans have a chance to see him this weekend.
There are 32 forwards.
The ICE have 10 forwards who played regularly in the WHL last year. 9 with the ICE and 1 with Moose Jaw.
The vets are Ryan Chynoweth, Kyle O'Connor, Jon Martin, Luke Philp, Jaedon Descheneau, Austin Vetterl, Matt Alfaro, Zak Zborosky and Levi Cable.
A new face is Russian Alexander Chirva who was selected by the ICE in the Import Draft and played for the Warriors last season.
The ICE usually go with 13 forwards during the regular season so that should mean there are 3 openings.
Watch out for - 17-year-old Austin Wellsby played 5 games with the ICE last year.
Jared Legien was the first round pick in the 2013 Bantam Draft.
Vince Loschiavo was their 2nd round pick in that same draft.

Cross and Peel Not At ICE Camp
Overage defensemen Landon Cross and Landon Peel have not reported to training camp.
They have told the ICE that they want to play in the MJHL.
ICE GM Jeff Chynoweth explained the situation ...
"Both players have informed us a different points in the summer that they would like to play Junior A this year in Manitoba. Landon Cross in Steinbach and Landon Peel in Portage. Unfortunately both players are going to be suspended for not reporting to camp and fulfilling their 20-year-old year of their WHL Standard Contract. How long the suspension lasts, I don't know. But I know the WHL is working with Hockey Manitoba and the Manitoba Junior League. It disappoints us that both guys aren't coming back. Not that we would have carried 2 20-year-old defensemen with what was coming back, definitely one of those two was going to be a big part of our hockey club. It's disappointing and we have to move on from it."
On why the WHL is involved ...
"I think they're concerned about players not fulfilling their contracts. When they signed their contracts they're for 5 years, usually from 16 to 20 and includes their 20-year-old season. Some of these players think that they have a chance to go play in a lower league, have some fun, maybe make a little more money you know playing that way, I don't know you'd have to ask each individual player. From our end it's just disappointing, from the league's end they've had our 2 players, they've had Reid Gow from Spokane and there's rumblings of a couple of other players. We've got to stick together as the Western Hockey League and the 22 teams because if players just want to walk whenever they can it doesn't bode well for our future."
On down to 2 overagers with Levi Cable and Austin Vetterl ...
"We'll see what happens if Mackenzie Skapski comes back. We'll deal with it at that time. Obviously Wyatt Hoflin gave us a big lift last year in the first round of the playoffs, won the series against Calgary. We think he is ready to be the number one guy so obviously if Mackenzie comes back we've got to make a decision on what's best for our organization moving forward. Until he's back we can't do anything."

They do not expect any of them to return to the ICE but if they do it wouldn't be until the middle of October at the earliest.
The other ICE players who are going to NHL camps will be with the ICE for camp and the first 3 preseason games.
2 or 3 16-year-old could make the club.
There is room for a few 17-year-olds to earn a roster spot.

Bozon Returns To Game Action
From NHL.com
Montreal Canadiens prospect Tim Bozon is returning to competitive hockey more than four months after spending four weeks in a Saskatchewan hospital while battling a severe form of meningitis.
A 2012 third-round pick (No. 64) of the Canadiens, Bozon will play for France at an Under-23 tournament in Ostrava, Czech Republic that begins July 31.
Bozon, 20, was playing for the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League when he was diagnosed with Neisseria Meningitis on March 1 after a 4-2 win against the Saskatoon Blades. He was taken to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, and spent part of his time there in a medically-induced coma to reduce swelling around his brain.
Since being released from the hospital March 28 Bozon has been working his way back to health. He has been working with Canadiens training staff and began skating June 5. He recently sent a message on Twitter expressing his excitement at playing again.
Bozon, the son of former NHL player Philippe Bozon, was born in St. Louis but grew up playing hockey in Switzerland before coming to North America. He also has French citizenship through his father, who was born in France.
Joining France in the tournament are Dukla Jihlava, a top-division Czech club, plus club teams from Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
In 203 WHL games with the Ice and Kamloops Blazers, Bozon has 105 goals and 231 points.

Reinhart Signs
The Buffalo Sabres today announced that the team has signed forward Sam Reinhart to a three-year, entry level contract.
The second overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Reinhart (6’1”, 190 lbs., 11/6/95) became the Sabres' highest draft pick since the team selected Pierre Turgeon first overall in 1987. He joins the Sabres organization after playing four years in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Kootenay Ice.
In addition to serving as Kootenay’s captain in 2013-14, he was named the WHL 2013-14 Player of the Year and Most Sportsmanlike Player of the Year.
“We are very excited to have Sam under contract,” said Sabres General Manager Tim Murray. “We look forward to watching him develop and become an important part of our organization in the future.”
In 2013-14, Reinhart led Kootenay with 105 points (36+69) in 60 games, tying for fourth overall in the WHL. He also led his team with 23 points (6+17) in 13 playoff games, advancing three rounds before Kootenay fell to the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Conference Championship.
Through his four seasons with Kootenay and the WHL, the North Vancouver, British Columbia native has recorded 254 points (101+153) in 203 games. Additionally, he captained Canada’s gold medal-winning teams at both the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial and the 2013 Under-18 World Championship.

New WHL Playoff Format
Vancouver, BC - A new playoff format for the Western Hockey League topped the list of items at this year’s WHL Annual General Meeting, which concluded today in Vancouver. The new playoff format, which is identical to the new playoff format introduced by the NHL this past season, was approved by the Board of Governors and will be in place for the next three seasons starting with the 2014-15 season.
“We believe the new format is a hybrid of the WHL’s previous Conference and Divisional formats,” said WHL Commissioner Ron Robison. “This will allow us to feature our regional rivalries in the playoffs and offer the most fair and competitive path to the WHL Championship.”
The new format will see the top three teams in each Division make up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed teams in each Conference, based on their regular-season record and regardless of Division. It is possible for one Division in each Conference to send five teams to the postseason while the other Division sends just three.
In the First Round, the Division winner with the best record in each Conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the lesser record; the wild card team with the better record will play the other Division winner.
The teams finishing second and third in each Division will meet in the First Round within the bracket headed by their respective division winners. First-round winners within each bracket play one another in the Second Round to determine the four participants in the Conference Finals.
Home-ice advantage through the first two rounds goes to the team that placed higher in the regular-season standings. In the Conference Finals and WHL Championship Series, home-ice advantage goes to the team that had the better regular-season record - regardless of the teams' final standing in their respective Divisions.
In addition, any ties in the final regular season standings will be determined as per WHL Regulations, and if an East Division Club is involved in the WHL Championship Series, the Series will utilize a 2 - 3 - 2 format.
Other matters adopted by the WHL Board of Governors in preparation for the 2014-15 season included the following:
WHL Milestone Awards – the WHL will officially recognize special achievements by the following participants: coaches, players, goaltenders, athletic therapists / trainers and on-ice officials during their careers in the WHL.
WHL Chairman of the Board/ Executive Committee Appointments - Bruce Hamilton has been re-elected as WHL Chairman of the Board for another two year term. No other Chairman of the Board in WHL history has served more years at the helm than Hamilton, who is now entering his seventh term (1998-2004 and 2008-present). Patrick LaForge of the Edmonton Oil Kings (Central Division) and Russ Farwell of the Seattle Thunderbirds (U.S. Division) have also been re-elected to the WHL's Executive Committee for two year terms. Ron Toigo of Vancouver Giants (BC Division) and Gord Broda (East Division) will continue to serve as the other members of the WHL Executive Committee.
The WHL has also announced that the 2014-15 Pre-Season schedule will be released on Tuesday, June 24, 2014, with the 2014-15 Regular Season schedule to follow on Wednesday June 25, 2014.

Canada U-17
CALGARY, Alta. – Hockey Canada, in partnership with the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), announced Tuesday the 96 skaters who have been invited to attend Canada’s national under-17 development camp, July 29 to Aug. 4 at the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary.
The roster includes 36 defencemen and 60 forwards.
The players invited to camp were selected by Ryan Jankowski, Hockey Canada's head scout of men's national teams, together with regional scouts Donald Audette (Quebec), Brad McEwen (West), Kevin Mitchell (Atlantic) and Darryl Woodley (Ontario) with input from Hockey Canada regional branch representatives. Players were evaluated throughout the season with their club teams, and at three regional under-16 events: the Western Canada U16 Challenge, OHL Gold Cup and QMJHL Excellence Challenge.
Sixteen under-17 goaltenders have been invited to the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence goaltending camp, June 11-14 in Calgary. From this camp, 12 netminders will be added to the under-17 development camp to complete the roster.
The development camp will serve as part of Canada’s new under-17 structure, focusing on player development. Scouts will continue to watch these players, along with other 1998-born players across the country, and 66 will be selected to represent Canada at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, which is scheduled for Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 in a yet-to-be-determined location. The tournament will be the first to feature three Canadian national teams (Black, Red and White). From 1986 to 2014, Canada was represented by five regional teams: Atlantic, Ontario, Pacific, Quebec and West.
“At Hockey Canada, we are very excited about the possibilities that lie ahead within our national teams with the changes we have instituted at the under-17 level,” said Scott Salmond, senior director, hockey operations with Hockey Canada. “It is our intention to identify potential national team players at an earlier age and have them play together more often.”
All 96 skaters have been drafted or listed by CHL teams, including 35 from the Ontario Hockey League, 32 from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and 29 from the Western Hockey League.

The roster includes 36 defencemen and 60 forwards.
The players invited to camp were selected by Ryan Jankowski, Hockey Canada's head scout of men's national teams, together with regional scouts Donald Audette (Quebec), Brad McEwen (West), Kevin Mitchell (Atlantic) and Darryl Woodley (Ontario) with input from Hockey Canada regional branch representatives. Players were evaluated throughout the season with their club teams, and at three regional under-16 events: the Western Canada U16 Challenge, OHL Gold Cup and QMJHL Excellence Challenge.
Sixteen under-17 goaltenders have been invited to the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence goaltending camp, June 11-14 in Calgary. From this camp, 12 netminders will be added to the under-17 development camp to complete the roster.
The development camp will serve as part of Canada’s new under-17 structure, focusing on player development. Scouts will continue to watch these players, along with other 1998-born players across the country, and 66 will be selected to represent Canada at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, which is scheduled for Oct. 31 to Nov. 8 in a yet-to-be-determined location. The tournament will be the first to feature three Canadian national teams (Black, Red and White). From 1986 to 2014, Canada was represented by five regional teams: Atlantic, Ontario, Pacific, Quebec and West.
“At Hockey Canada, we are very excited about the possibilities that lie ahead within our national teams with the changes we have instituted at the under-17 level,” said Scott Salmond, senior director, hockey operations with Hockey Canada. “It is our intention to identify potential national team players at an earlier age and have them play together more often.”
All 96 skaters have been drafted or listed by CHL teams, including 35 from the Ontario Hockey League, 32 from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and 29 from the Western Hockey League.

Chrysler Dodge Top Scorer: Connor Brown (Erie Otters):
Connor Brown led all CHL players in scoring with 128 points including 45 goals and 83 assists in 68 games establishing a new team record the Erie Otters who had their best season in franchise history with 52 wins and 106 points. The 20-year-old Toronto native is a Maple Leafs prospect selected in the sixth round of the 2012 NHL Draft. Finalists for the award were top QMJHL scorer Anthony Mantha of the Val-d’Or Foreurs with 120 points in 57 games, and top WHL scorer Mitch Holmberg of the Spokane Chiefs who recorded 118 points in 72 games.

Reinhart East Nominee For Player Of The Year
Calgary, AB - The Western Hockey League today announced the WHL Eastern and Western Conference finalists for the 2013-14 WHL Player of the Year. The two finalists for WHL Player of the Year are determined through voting by general managers, coaches, broadcast and media representatives of all WHL Member Clubs. The recipients of all WHL individual awards will be announced at the 2014 WHL Awards Luncheon, which will be held in Calgary, Alberta, on Wednesday, April 30, 2014.
In the WHL's Eastern Conference, which includes the East and Central Divisions, the Player of the Year nominee is forward Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice. In the WHL’s Western Conference, which includes the B.C. and U.S. Divisions, the Player of the Year nominee is forward Mitch Holmberg of the Spokane Chiefs.
18-year-old Vancouver, B.C., native Sam Reinhart was a dominant player for the Kootenay Ice during the 2013-14 WHL regular season, leading the Ice to a 39-28-2-3 record and a fifth-place finish in the Eastern Conference while helping the Club set a new WHL record with their 15th consecutive campaign with a record of .500 or better. The Ice’s captain, Reinhart scored 36 goals and 69 assists for 105 points along with a +24 rating in 60 games.
Reinhart’s 105 points tied him for fourth in WHL scoring while his 69 assists placed him second among all WHL players and established a new Kootenay Ice record for assists in a single season. In addition, Reinhart led the Ice with six game-winning goals and two shorthanded goals. Reinhart’s consistency during the 2013-14 regular season was remarkable as he was held off the score sheet just nine times, was only held without a point in back-to-back games once, and enjoyed a WHL-best 22-game point streak. Reinhart’s importance to Kootenay’s success this season is evident in the fact that he factored in on 45% of his team’s entire offensive output, and that the Ice lost all nine games in which he dressed but failed to register a point.
Selected by Kootenay in the first round, 15th overall, in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, Reinhart has played 203 career regular-season games for the Ice, amassing 101 goals and 254 points with a +52 rating. The 2011-12 WHL Rookie of the Year, Reinhart is considered a top prospect for the 2014 NHL Draft.
Holmberg, a product of Sherwood Park, AB, enjoyed an outstanding 2013-14 season for the Spokane Chiefs, helping the team to a 40-26-3-3 record and a sixth-place finish in the Western Conference as they clinched a playoff berth for an eighth straight year. The 20-year-old scored 62 goals and 56 assists for 118 points to go with a +35 rating while appearing in all 72 games for the Chiefs.
Holmberg’s 62 goals and 118 points led all WHL players, allowing him to become the first member of the Chiefs to win the WHL scoring title since Ray Whitney in 1990-91. In addition, Holmberg led all WHL players with 23 power play goals and 10 game-winning goals, and finished tied for second among WHL players with six shorthanded goals. Holmberg finished with 12 more goals than his nearest competitor, and is only the second WHL player since the 2000-01 season to reach the 60-goal mark during a season. Holmberg contributions to Spokane’s strong campaign cannot be understated as the 5’10”, 175-lb winger scored over 25% of his Club’s goals while also factoring in on over 48% of the Club’s entire offensive output. In his fifth and final WHL campaign, Holmberg established a new Spokane Chiefs’ franchise record for career goals with 147.
The Chiefs’ first-round pick, 21st overall, in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft, Holmberg has appeared in 314 career regular-season games, amassing 296 points along with a +62 rating. Holmberg is a free agent.
