The SJHL regular season came to an end on Saturday night in Notre Dame as the Hounds got by the Red Wings 6-4.
Kyle Ireland and Steven Robinson each had a goal and two assists to lead the Hounds. Rylan Schwartz scored two goals for the Hounds while Tommy Williams and Cody Mapes each had a goal and an assist. Travis Janke and Grayson Brown each added two assists for Notre Dame. The Hounds led 3-0 and 3-2 by periods. Michael Seib, Preston Shupe, Kyle Haines and Erick Ruud scored for the Wings. Eric Calibaba added two assists while also picking up assists were Brayden Nargang, Stephen Simms and Scott Doody. Andre Guay had a strong start in goal for the Hounds as he made 34 saves, many of them spectacular. AJ Whiffen got the start for the Wings as it was pre-determined before the game that he would play until a goal was scored by the Hounds. The reason for this was of course that Whiffen had a chance to set the SJHL single season shutout record. Tanner Erickson played from the 6:13 mark of the first period on as he made 24 saves on 28 shots. The Hounds will now face the Yorkton Terriers three times in three nights to close out the season. The Wings will have five or six days of preparation as they will open up the SJHL selection series next weekend with either the Melville Millionaires or Kindersley Klippers coming to town. We will let you know the schedule once it has been released to us.
Game notes: Justin Crockatt was handed 27 penalty minutes on one play in the second period as he received an elbowing minor, fighting major, misconduct and game misconduct. Crockatt was involved in a scrap with Kyle Ireland of the Hounds and then was ejected for throwing a towel in the direction of the referee. In 12 games as a Red Wing, Crockatt, an instant fan favorite, has amassed an incredible 135 penalty minutes. The game also featured Michael Seib annihalating Andrew Bzdel of the Hounds in a first period fight. Seib did most of the throwing and little of the receiving in that bout.

Is it good that one player has135 penalty min in 12 games? The wings are a good team but they lower themselves by having,in Dwights words a "meatball" looking for takers. The last game against Melvile was one of the best games I have seen in a while- fast,good passing,lots of good hard hits- what a treat. The fan favorite did not play that game.
In my opinion this team was lacking a player like Crockatt at the deadline and I applauded the move when it was made and still think it was the right one. In my opinion Justin has endeared himself to the fans, played good hockey when he has been out there. The bottom line is he has a role like every other player on the team and he fills that role very well. If his presence stops players at taking shots at some of our more skilled guys then he is doing his job. Every winning team usually has a good policeman and it's a bonus when the player filling that role is capable of playing a regular shift which is a luxury with Crockatt.
