Saints PR

From the desk of Mike Keenan

The Spruce Grove Saints have had a great run lately, going 4-1 over there last 5 games with one being an exciting overtime game with the game winner coming from Peter Olvecky. Maxime Ouellet has been stellar in net allowing 17 goals on 145 shots during this 5 game run. The offense has been led by Jakub Voracek's 5 goals and 5 assists each from Cody Hodgson and Stephan Weiss. The Saints have managed to score an astounding 26 goals over this period as well. If the boys can just stay out of the box, they amassed a total of 220 PIM, they might truly dominate this league. Cody Hodgson and Roman Voloshenko have been leading the train to the box with 32 and 28 minutes respectively. Coach Gordie Howe has been extremely impressed with the fight in the boys and can see a few of them making the jump rather easily up to the big club if needed. Veteran Scott Hollis has been trying to lead with 6 points and 9 PIM in the recent run while captain Daymond Langkow has been super aggressive with 1 goal and 21 PIM over the same span.

The one minor deal that was done( just to help out the Majors) with Daren Machesny and Mathieu Biron leaving while Martin Grenier and Richard Bachman arriving has neither hurt nor helped the team. GM Paul Gagne is always willing to make a move as long as it doesn't hurt the team too much and hopefully helps in the future whether immediate future or the distant future. Some guys that may be on the bubble are Ty Wishart, Justin Williams and Peter Olvecky.

That is all for now from the Spruce Grove Saints. This "Iron" Mike Keenan signing off.
