After tonight's game, the Broncos will return home for a four game homestand before taking off on a five game BC road trip.

Tigers Talent

Bryan Lockner is a hardworking, gritty forward in his third season with the Orange and Black. The 19-year-old Windsor CO product has a lethal shot and a powerful stride. This season Lockner has shifted from the wing to playing centre because of his ability to be a two-way forward. Look for Lockner to make an impact in both ends of the ice tonight.

Captain's Corner

Captain James Hamblin was the Tigers' top point producer last season with 77 points (33G, 44A) in 67 games played. The 20-year-old Edmonton product picked up two assists in last night's contest and his first points of this season. Hamblin is a fast, skilled, two-way forward who leads the Tigers by example.

After three games, the Tigers are one of the top teams in the league on the penalty kill having killed all eight penalties thus far.

The Tigers' power play is ranked 6th in the league overall with (3/12) 25% effectiveness.
