Small Stature, Big stick:
Just a few years ago, it was the big players who dominated the WHL top ten scorers in the WHL, in 2009-10 that is not the case. As of tonight, just one of the top 10 scorers (Brayden Schenn 6'0") are 6'0"+ while the rest of the top ten (Brandon Kozun 5'9", Brendan Shinnimin 5'10", Jordan Eberle 5'10", Jordan Weal 5'9", Willie Coetzee 5'10", Bretton Cameron 5'11", Craig Cunningham 5'10" Cody Eakin 5'11", Matt Calvert 5'10") are all 5'11' and under.
Next Action:
The Pats will hit the road for a 6 game trip through B.C., Washington and Oregon beginning on Friday night In Cranbrook against the Kootenay Ice. It's a 7pm puck drop with a 6:35 pre-game show on 620 CKRM.
