Chynoweth Comments on Import Draft
GM Jeff Chynoweth
on 1st pick Petr Vesely
"We know Petr had a very good year last year in junior in the Czech Republic. He was 5th in the league in scoring and the second leading 1994-born player with 60 points in 43 games. You need to score goals to win games and we think once he gets adjusted to the North American game, as it takes all players time coming over here to adjust, we hope he can add some offense to our team."
on where he will fit into the line-up
"Our 1994 age group up front is very thin. Levi Cable is our only returning player and we picked up Jordyn Boyd (trade with Everett) and we are hoping these 2 new players will eventually will be key contributers to our club as we are going to be a very young club this year."
on 2nd pick Jakub Prochazka
"He's got a late birthday and is not available until next years' NHL Draft. I've heard good things about him. In talking with some people that we know the reports were pretty good. They say both players have potential to be top 6 forwards at some point in their career, I just think it will be right off the bat. He's got some skill and an edge to his game with 69 penalty minutes in 37 games last year."
on making 2 picks this year
"The main thing for us is that we are paying for the Cody Eakin deal this year big time. By that I mean Colby Cave was part of that deal and he would definitely have been a part of our group this year. We're going to be such a young team this year, probably 8-10 1995-born players and thats too young as you still win in the WHL with 18, 19 and quality 20-year-olds. This is the best way to replenish the talent pool and these guys play a high level of hockey, maybe not the same level as the CHL but if you put up numbers at any level and people will take notice."

ICE Select Petr Vesely & Jakub Prochazka
The Kootenay ICE selected 2 18-year-old forwards from the Czech Republic in todays' CHL Import Draft. With the 29th pick they took Petr Vesely who had 25 goals and 60 points last season.
The ICE traded their 8th round pick in next years Bantam Draft to Tri City for their 1st pick and selected Jakub Prochazka who had 8 goals and 20 points last season.
From the ICE office ...
Cranbrook, BC – Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club announced today the Club has selected 18-year-old Forward Petr Vesely (1st round, 29th overall) and 17-year-old Forward Jakub Prochazka in today's 21st annual CHL import Draft. Kootenay's second selection (59th overall) was acquired from the Tri-City Americans for a 8th round pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. "It is very difficult to draft any Import player as for the most part teams have not had the opportunity to watch these players over the course of the season, but we have received good reporters on both players. We are very thin at the forward position in the 1994 age group and are hoping these players, once they get acclimatized to the North American game will be key contributors to our team, "continued Chynoweth. Both Petr Vesely and Jakub Prochazka will arrive in Cranbrook in late August.

ICE Trade Neibrandt
Cranbrook, BC – Jeff Chynoweth, General Manager of the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club, today announced the club has traded 19-year-old Defenseman John Neibrandt to the Vancouver Giants in exchange for a fifth round pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. The ICE still have seven 20-year-old players eligible to return in 2012-2013, but don’t expect Max Reinhart (Calgary Flames) or Luke Paulsen (injury) to return for their overage season (Elgin Pearce, Dylen McKinlay, Drew Czerwonka, Brock Montgomery and Joey Leach are the other 1992 born players).
“With us having seven 20-year-old players eligible to return next year we knew we had to start reducing this number as soon as we could. There are numerous 1992 born players eligible to return for their overage season and we wanted to ensure that John had the opportunity to play his final season in the WHL. We would like to thank John for his two years with our Hockey Club and wish him all the best in Vancouver,” added Chynoweth

Knoblauch Talks To Edmonton Newspaper
http://www.edmontonjournal.com/sports/Knoblauch+knew+interviewing+Bears+coaching+position+risk/6742015/story.html
By Evan Daum, edmontonjournal.com
EDMONTON - Kris Knoblauch knows that life as a hockey coach can be a gamble.
The former head coach of the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League lost his job a few weeks ago after his general manager, Jeff Chynoweth, learned that Knoblauch was set to interview for the University of Alberta Golden Bears head coach position.
“I thought for my family and my career, it just made so much sense to try and get that position at the U of A and that’s why I took a chance. I trusted some people I should’ve been more cautious about, but it was certainly a risk that I was willing to take,” Knoblauch said.
Knoblauch’s firing by Kootenay was the culmination of a Golden Bears hiring process that started in mid-April for the former Bears standout, who spent five successful seasons between 1999-2004.
“I was in the office one day and there were rumours about me going to the University of Alberta and I hadn’t contacted the university, nor had they contacted me. That day, there was a message from my secretary to call Stan Marple,” Knoblauch said of the beginning of his involvement in the Bears job search.
“I returned that call and that’s when we discussed the possibility of returning to the university as a coach.”
Knoblauch then became part of the process to find the Bears next head coach, a position that came open in late March when Marple, who spent a year as interim head coach, was reassigned to the newly minted general manager position.
“That day, when I got contacted by the university, I talked to my employer — the Kootenay Ice — about my interest in the job and they gave me a one-week window to pursue it, but this was the middle of April and the job closing date didn’t come until May 15th, so there was really no possibility for me to really pursue it in that week time frame,” Knoblauch said.
It was at that point Knoblauch began a gamble that would eventually cost him his job, despite giving the Ice the impression that he was no longer interested in returning to the U of A.
“Absolutely, I took a huge leap of faith,” Knoblauch said about pursuing the Bears job. “The coaching position with the University of Alberta meant a lot to me. It was a risk I was willing to take, because I thought it was the best thing for me.”
Knoblauch isn’t bitter about Ian Herbers being named head coach of the Bears, but the former WHL championship-winning coach is frustrated by the process, which resulted in his firing only moments before interviewing for the Alberta job.
"Certainly, there wasn’t a guarantee that the job was mine, but I was under the impression I was a very good candidate. Everything short of the job being guaranteed to me,” he said. “After this process was over, I’ve heard many names of people being kind of given the same sales pitch of applying.”
Marple, for his part, has expressed disappointment that Knoblauch lost his job, but felt there was no wrongdoing on the part of the selection committee.
"At the end of the day, I feel very bad for Kris that he lost his job over this with the Kootenay Ice, but again I don’t know what his contract entailed, or if he had the legal right to apply,” Marple said. “I do feel the process was successful in the sense that we hired the best coach that we could’ve for the position.”
Despite losing his coaching job, Knoblauch is not ready to leave the coaching ranks.
“Coaching is my passion and I truly love it, so I’ll continue that,” Knoblauch said.

NHL Draft
There have been reports that Joey Leach (2010 3rd round Calgary Flames) and Drew Czerwonka (2010 6th round Edmonton Oilers) will not be signed to NHL contracts and will be eligible for the 2012 Draft. This increases the chance of both returning for their over-age season.

Vacation
I'm on holidays for a few weeks and as in years past there is developing news with the ICE while I am out of town.
Some thoughts ...
May 26th - Today is the 10th anniversary of the ICE winning the Memorial Cup in Guelph with a 6-3 win over Victoriaville. Colin Siclair with 2 goals including the game winner.
Summer - The club is celebrating success with the Hot Stove Dinner/Golf event in July. Tickets for both events are available now and most of the players, coaches and staff from 2000 & 2002 will be back in Cranbrook.
Season Tickets - The Early Bird Deadline in June 1st and the ICE office will be open during the lunch hour each day. Every year it seems fans wait until the final week so it should be a hectic place all week.
Kris Knoblach - Since moving to Cranbrook the ICE have a history of not firing so it was very surprising news yesterday. Other than the press release there were no comments from the ICE. There are lots of rumours circulating as to what happened and probably 1 of the 100 are right. More official details should be revealed over the coming days.
New Coaches - 5 years ago the ICE lost Cory Clouston and Brad Lauer during the summer and eventually hired Mark Holik and Kris Knoblauch. 2 years ago Mark Holick and Scott Beattie left and the club promoted Knoblauch and added Todd Johnson and Jerry Bancks. It will be another makeover with a Head Coach and Assistant Coach openings this season. Again there are going to be lots of rumours and speculation.
I love a good rumour as much as anyone as long as it is being reported in such a way, but keep in mind it's amazing how many stories are written with wrong information. Over the years there were reports on people who were in the running for the ICE jobs, when in fact they never even applied. There were stories on candidates flying to Cranbrook for an interview when in fact they weren't even short listed.
We are entering Silly Season for hockey as coaching vacancies in the NHL have a trickle down effect to the AHL, WHL and so on.

Beattie To Switzerland
From http://www.amshockey.com/
KENNEWICK, WA – Tri-City Americans’ Governor/General Manager Bob Tory announced today that Scott Beattie has stepped down from his role as the team’s associate coach. Beattie has since been named head coach of EHC Olten of Switzerland’s National League B.
After spending two seasons as an assistant coach with the Kootenay Ice, Beattie joined the Americans prior to the start of the 2010-11 season. Beattie’s first coaching opportunity came with his hometown Kimberley Dynamiters of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, serving three seasons as the Head Coach and General Manager from 2005-2008, leading the Dynamiters to an overall record of 75-62-5-12.
As a player, Beattie was twice named a Hobey Baker Award finalist, bestowed upon the NCAA’s best player, during his time at Northern Michigan University. At NMU, Beattie played alongside current Tri-City head coach, Jim Hiller and won an NCAA title in 1990-91. After collecting 106 goals and 222 points in 122 games, he was later inducted in the NMU Hall of Fame in 2003.
Beattie then spent the next 13 seasons playing overseas in Europe, making stops in Italy, Germany and Switzerland and winning four Italian Series A League championships (Bolzano Foxes: 1996, Milan Vipers: 2002, 2003, 2004). In all, Beattie appeared in over 300 international games, scoring 206 goals and 482 points. While playing in Europe, Beattie also played for Team Italy in two Group A World Junior Championships (1996, 2001).
“We want to thank Scott for his contributions to the Americans organization over the past two seasons and wish him all the best as he turns his attention towards this great opportunity with pro hockey in Europe,” said Tory.

Antilla to UBC
UBC THUNDERBIRDS MEN'S HOCKEY: UBC hockey welcomes new recruit Joe Antilla
VANCOUVER – An instrumental player in the Kootenay Ice's run to the Memorial Cup in 2011 is the latest recruit to the UBC men's hockey program.
Winger Joe Antilla (Madeira Park, BC) has committed to playing for the Thunderbirds in 2012-13.
“It's going to be a lot of fun playing for a new team, a new coach and in new systems,” said Antilla. “I feel I can bring new energy, a hard work ethic and championship-calibre play to UBC. It'll be cool to see how our team does and where we go with it all.”
The 6'2, 220 lb. forward just completed his fifth season with the Western Hockey League's Ice.
In 340 regular season games with the Cranbrook-based team, Antilla recorded 56 goals and 84 assists for a total of 140 points.
During the 2011 playoffs, he scored nine goals, eight assists and 17 points in 19 games, helping Kootenay to the WHL championship and an appearance at the Memorial Cup tournament.
Antilla notched three points in five games for the Ice at the Memorial Cup.
In September 2011, he also attended the training camp of the National Hockey League's San Jose Sharks.
“Joe brings instant leadership and a pure power forward to our group,” said UBC head coach Milan Dragicievc, the 2011-12 Canada West Coach of the Year. “He knows how to win, has good size, an excellent work ethic and played for the same organization for the past five years. He will be relied upon to do the same things for the Thunderbirds and bring his winning experience to our program. We are very excited to have Joe Antilla be a huge part of our program.”
Not only will attending UBC allow Antilla to gain a world-class education, it will also bring him closer to his family on the Sunshine Coast.
“It will be good to have my parents and family members come to the games and check it all out,” said Antilla.
He has been accepted in to the UBC School of Kinesiology.

Skapski & Betker
Mitch Skapski (younger brother of ICE goalie Mackenzie) and Cranbrook native Ben Betker are a part of the Seth Jones trade.
from everettsilvertips.com ...
EVERETT – The Everett Silvertips today announced the acquisition of four prospects from the Portland Winterhawks in exchange for the Western Hockey League rights to defenseman Seth Jones, who signed with the ‘Hawks today. The Silvertips receive 1994-born defensemen Reece Willcox and Ben Betker and 1996-born forwards Tyler Sandhu and Mitch Skapski as part of the trade.
Silvertips General Manager Garry Davidson had a hand in bringing all four players into Portland’s system when he was the Winterhawks’ Director of Player Personnel. Three were selected in the WHL Bantam Draft and Betker was listed by the team on Davidson’s watch.
“We’re very excited about the four players we’ve gained in this deal,” said Silvertips General Manager Garry Davidson. “Obviously we’re disappointed that a good player who could be a top prospect for next year’s draft won’t be coming to Everett, but in return we’ve acquired a group of solid players who can all contribute to our hockey team. I’m familiar with all four of these young men and feel confident that they’ll be part of our success in the coming years.”
Reece Willcox, 18, is an NHL Draft Prospect ranked 90th among all 2012 draft-eligible North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting. He competed in the Junior-A British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) last season as a member of the Merritt Centennials. The Surrey, BC product scored five goals and assisted on 18 others during his second campaign in Merritt, giving him 23 points in 52 games. Measuring in a 6-2 and 185-pounds, Willcox was selected by Portland in the third round (#59 overall) of the 2009 WHL Draft.
Ben Betker, 17, appeared in one game with the Winterhawks last season, finishing with a +1 rating in a 4-2 win over Kamloops on November 2. The 6-4, 185-pound Cranbrook, British Columbia native spent most of last year with the BCHL’s Westside Warriors. In 59 games as a Warriors rookie, Betker totaled 18 points (5g/13a) and 52 penalty minutes.
Tyler Sandhu, 16, was a second-round pick (42nd overall) of the Winterhawks in last year’s Bantam Draft. Hailing from Richmond, BC, he led the Greater Vancouver Canadians and ranked 16th in the BC Major Midget League (BCMML) in scoring last season. In 38 games the 5-11, 150-pound Sandhu recorded 45 points on 18 goals and 27 assists while helping the Canadians to a fifth-place finish.
Mitch Skapski, 16, was Portland’s fourth-round choice (#86 overall) in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. He spent last year with the BCMML’s Fraser Valley Bruins, where he finished with 26 goals, 49 points and 86 penalty minutes in 40 games. The 5-8, 140-pound Abbotsford, BC native finished second on the Bruins and 14th in the league in scoring. Skapski is the younger brother of Kootenay Ice goaltender and 2012 NHL Draft prospect Mackenzie Skapski.
Both Sandhu and Skapski won Bronze Medals with Team British Columbia at the 2011 Western Canada U-16 Challenge Cup in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Jones, 17, was one of two first-round picks for Everett (11th overall) in the 2009 WHL Draft. He has spent the past two seasons with the U.S. National Team Development Program Under-18 team. In 48 games with the U.S. NTDP this year, the Plano, Texas native recorded 26 points (6g/20a) and 18 penalty minutes.

Prairie Storm (SBAAHL AA bantam) 23 6 12 18 26
Prairie Storm (St. Albert bantam AAA tournament) 5 1 1 2 4
Younger brother of Ryan Murray of the Everett Silvertips.
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He's the younger brother of Everett's Ryan Murray and much like the Reinhart's he's a different player. He will find his own way in the WHL. We're very excited about him. A couple of things we were intrigued about him ... he has the ability to make plays under pressure, he makes players better around him and his hockey sense we felt was really really good. We're excited to add a defenseman like Troy Murray. He's a good skater and he's going to help our forwards in the future to have a puck moving defenseman like that."
2nd Round - Defenseman Dylan Overdyk
St. Albert Sabres (AMBHL AAA bantam) 32 5 7 12 26
St. Albert Sabres (St. Albert bantam AAA tournament) 5 0 1 1 2
Northwest Sharks (Alberta Cup) 5 0 2 2 4
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He's a defenseman we identified early in the season and he progressed really nicely through the year. He really took some strides in the St. Albert Bantam Tournament and if I remember correctly he named Top Defenseman at the Alberta Cup. Skates well and very big size and we're very excited how we started on the back-end with those first two picks."
3rd Round - pick acquired from Medicine Hat for Brendan Hurley - Forward Hudson Elynuik
Calgary Bronks (AMBHL AAA bantam) 30 18 24 42 119
Calgary Bronks (St. Albert bantam AAA tournament) 4 1 2 3 6
Calgary North Stars (Alberta Cup) 5 2 0 2 12
Younger brother of Jakson Elynuik who was a 7th round pick by the ICE in 2010, and Campbell Elynuik who played for Prince George last year.
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He is the last of the Elynuik family. He's a really tall rangy forward, I believe he's around 6'2". He's got a lot of skill, he's got some ability and he's going to be very hard to play against. He competes hard and he is going to make it tough on the opposition once he fully matures as a player."
4th Round - Forward Austin Wellsby
Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (OMAHA AAA bantam) 63 38 50 88 14
Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (St. Albert bantam AAA tournament) 6 1 1 2 0
Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (NAPHL 14U) 5 2 8 10 4
Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (OMAHA AAA midget) 2 1 0 1 0
Kelowna Pursuit of Excellence (KIBIHT AAA bantam) 6 1 3 4 2
Canucks (B.C. U-16 Cup) 4 0 0 0 n/a
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He's about 6'0" and a highly, highly gifted skater, something that attracted to us as an organization. He scored a lot of goals this season and we look forward to him doing that in the future as well. Once he grows into his body his upside we believe is tremendous."
The ICE traded their 5th Round pick to Everett for Forward Jordyn Boyd.
He is a 17-year-old from Winnipeg, last year in his rookie season he played 53 games with 7 goals and 4 assists for 11 points and 26pm.
He was selected by Everett in the 6th round of the 2010 Bantam draft.
He joins Levi Cable as the only 17 turning 18 year-old forwards on the roster.
GM Jeff Chynoweth on the trade - "I obviously watched him a lot last season (while watching son Ryan). I thought there was a lot of potential with his play. Especially in an age group where we don't have a lot players. We have only one returning 1994 born forward in Levi Cable and as young as we're going to be next year we just felt it was imperative that we get try to get some 18 and possibly 19 years olds at a later date to give us some more depth."
Chynoweth on Boyd - "It takes a while to adjust to the WHL and he scored 7 goals last year with limited ice time with Everett. He's a good 2-way player, he can play in all 3 zones and I think he can chip in offensively and that's what we're counting on. I think it's an excellent opportunity for him to come to a new organization and play some valuable minutes for us."
6th Round - Forward River Beattie
Sherwood Park Flyers (AMBHL AAA bantam) 30 10 16 26 46
Sherwood Park Flyers (St. Albert bantam AAA tournament) 5 3 0 3 12
Sherwood Park Squires (AMMHL minor midget AAA) 2 0 0 0 2
Sherwood Park Squires (AMMHL minor midget AAA - PLF) 2 1 4 5 4
Northeast Flyers (Alberta Cup) 5 2 2 4 2
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He had a excellent Alberta Cup and throughout the year he provided some good scoring and secondary scoring for his team. He's got good hockey sense and we look forward to seeing what he can bring in the future. Very happy with that selection."
6th Round - pick acquired from Spokane - Defenseman Zachary Smith
Edmonton MLAC (AMBHL AAA bantam) 33 2 9 11 46
Edmonton MLAC (AMMHL minor midget AAA) 1 0 0 0 0
Edmonton South Bruins (Alberta Cup) 5 0 4 4 4
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "Tall, rangy defenseman, had a very solid campaign at the Alberta Cup. He played on a team that dind't have a lot of success during the year but as soon as he was surrounded by better players you could really see the upside in him. He will compliment the other two defenseman we drafted today."
7th Round - Forward Shane Allan
Calgary Royals (AMBHL AAA bantam) 32 15 19 34 46
Calgary Royals (St. Albert bantam AAA tournament) 5 2 0 2 4

Mission (PCAHA ) n/a 2.33 n/a n/a n/a 0.936
Avalanche (B.C. U-16 Cup) - - - - - -
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He was the only goaltender on their Bantam team and played in all 70 games. He knows and trains with Nathan Lieuwen and Mackenzie Skapski. He indicated to me he wants to play in a small town and we look forward to him in the future."

Sask Valley Vipers (SBAAHL AA bantam) 21 16 31 47 34
Sask Valley Vipers (KIBIHT AAA bantam) 6 5 6 11 6
Zone 5 (SaskFirst) No Stats
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He had some really good numbers for his team. A smaller player right now but we're projecting him out to grow. This is the depth of the draft and hopefully these are the guys that are going to change with some upside. If he turns out to be a 5'11" or 6' guy there could be potentially a diamond in the rough with this player."
10th Round - Forward Zac Paziuk
North East Wolfpack (SBAAHL AA bantam) 24 24 16 40 24
North East Wolfpack (Western Canadian bantam champ.) 5 2 0 2 2
Zone 8 (SaskFirst) No Stats
Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He played for the team that won the provincial championship out of Saskatchewan. A smaller forward that put up some decent numbers this year. We look forward to seeing what he can do in the future, wait for him on his development and he should be an exciting player in the future because he skates very well."

Garnet Kazuik scouting report - "He's about 6'0" and a highly, highly gifted skater, something that attracted to us as an organization. He scored a lot of goals this season and we look forward to him doing that in the future as well. Once he grows into his body his upside we believe is tremendous."
The ICE traded their 5th Round pick to Everett for Forward Jordyn Boyd.
He is a 17-year-old from Winnipeg, last year in his rookie season he played 53 games with 7 goals and 4 assists for 11 points and 26pm.
He was selected by Everett in the 6th round of the 2010 Bantam draft.
He joins Levi Cable as the only 17 turning 18 year-old forwards on the roster.
GM Jeff Chynoweth on the trade - "I obviously watched him a lot last season (while watching son Ryan). I thought there was a lot of potential with his play. Especially in an age group where we don't have a lot players. We have only one returning 1994 born forward in Levi Cable and as young as we're going to be next year we just felt it was imperative that we get try to get some 18 and possibly 19 years olds at a later date to give us some more depth."
Chynoweth on Boyd - "It takes a while to adjust to the WHL and he scored 7 goals last year with limited ice time with Everett. He's a good 2-way player, he can play in all 3 zones and I think he can chip in offensively and that's what we're counting on. I think it's an excellent opportunity for him to come to a new organization and play some valuable minutes for us."

During the 2011-12 WHL season, the Warriors increased overall club revenues by over $1 Million dollars. Having moved into a new, state-of-the-art facility, Mosaic Place, the Warriors increased their sponsorship revenue by 70%, and increased season ticket revenue by nearly 40%. Thanks to their new building and their increased presence in and support from the Moose Jaw community, the Warriors saw their average attendance increase by the second-largest margin of any WHL team from the previous season. The Warriors also managed successful events such as the Western Canada Under-16 Challenge Cup and the Subway Super Series throughout the 2011-12 season.

The 21-year-old from Winnipeg, MB, accumulated the most points in a regular season since the 1998-99 campaign, finished 11 points ahead of his nearest competition in the scoring race, and was one of three Americans’ players to top the 100-point plateau. Shinnimin recorded points in 60 of the 69 games he played this season, and finished the season on a 23-game point streak. He was named the Husky WHL Player of the Month for February after piling up a whopping 23 goals and 43 points in just 14 games. Now in his final season in the WHL, Shinnimin finishes his regular-season career with 131 goals and 337 points in 267 career regular-season contests. He recently signed a three-year entry-level contract with the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes.
Bantam Draft
The WHL Bantam Draft takes place tomorrow with the Kootenay ICE making their first selection at #10.
As of right now the ICE have a pick in every round and have 2 picks in the 6th round.
They traded their 3rd pick to Swift Current in the Cody Eakin trade but have the Tigers 3rd pick in the Brendan Hurley Trade.
They have Spokane's 6th round pick in a trade for other bantam picks last year.
The 10th overall pick is the highest the ICE have selected since taking John Negrin with the 7th pick in 2004.
I will have hourly reports on the Bantam Draft throughout the day with comments from Director of Scouting Garnet Kazuik.

ICE Recap
The Kootenay ICE season ended 2 months earlier than last season and today the players are having their exit meetings and will bring a close to 2011-12.
The first 27 games of the season the ICE were playing the style of hockey they did in the playoffs while most of the other teams will trying to find their identity.
On November 30th they were 19-5-1-2, on a 6-game winning streak.
The last 45 games they went 17-21-5-2 and failed to win more than 2 games in a row the rest of the season.
Including the playoffs they lost when they had a lead or were tied in the 3rd period in 25 games. I believe they earned 9 overtime points but that was a loss of a potential 41 other points. Remember, 1 more win and they finish 5th in the final standings and not 8th.
In trying to figure out what happened ... mistakes, bad luck, bad penalties, rookies learning, leadership, goaltending, etc, the confusing part is why they were great for 2 periods and not the 3rd.
In being the defending champions and just being the Kootenay ICE they always have to face an opposition who were geared up to play them and the ICE never had an easy night.
We will hear in the coming days where some players will still be playing this season.
Nathan Lieuwen, Joey Leach and Drew Czerwonka are NHL drafted but unsigned. At the very least they could sign Amateur Try Out contracts and play pro hockey.
Max Reinhart is signed and could be in Abbotsford for the rest of the season and even play for Calgary.
Joe Antilla and Jesse Ismond could also have pro options or decide on their future over the summer.
Sam Reinhart should be receiving consideration to play of Canada at the Under-18 tournament April 12-22. The event is mainly for 17 year-olds but the 16-year-old is still eligible. The Head Coach is Red Deer's Jesse Wallin.
The ICE had 8 rookies this season (4 17-year olds, 4 16-year olds) and could have 7 1st year players next season, one or two of them could be import players.
They had 8 19-year-olds and only 3 can return as over-agers next season.
Max Reinhart is gone.
The status of Czerwonka and Leach will be big factors in the final decisions.
Luke Paulsen, John Neibrandt, Elgin Pearce, Dylen McKinlay and Brock Montgomery are the other options.
The ICE are coming off 2 great Bantam Drafts and are a couple of years away from being a major contender and it's going to be an exciting training camp.
The players on the list of potential new players are (listed in no particular order) ...
Goalie - Wyatt Hoflin (17)
Defense - Tanner Faith (17), Kyle Krabben (17), Jordan Steenbergen (16), Matthew Murray (16), Carter Forsyth (16)
Forward - Luke Philp (17), Jesse Wood-Shatz (17), Jakson Elynuik (17), Doug Morris (17), Ian Williams (17), Zachary Zborosky (16), Collin Shirley (16), Kyle O'Connor (16)

Leach Playoff MVP
Defenseman Joey Leach has been named the Top Playoff Performer for the 2012 WHL Playoffs.
Despite the series loss to Edmonton Joey's play throughout the four games was consistent. He was a physical force on the ice and gave strong leadership to the team.
