JUNIOR JOTTINGS: C Chris Bruton, who captained the Memorial Cup-champion Spokane Chiefs, has decided to attend Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., and play for the Axemen. Bruton, who played out his junior eligibility last season, had 63 points, including 26 goals. . . . Also committing to the Axemen are G Kris Westblom, who played four seasons with the Kelowna Rockets, and D Paul Kurceba, from the Kootenay Ice. Both were 20-year-old players last season. . . . D Matt McCue, 20, of the Brandon Wheat Kings has received a training camp invitation from the NHL’s St. Louis Blues. McCue was acquired by Brandon from the Chilliwack Bruins at the January trade deadline. . . . McCue is one of five 20-year-olds on Brandon’s roster, the others being D Chad Erb and forwards Daniel Bartek, Andrew Clark and Matt Lowry. . . . Jon Keen, the radio voice of the Swift Current Broncos, will have a new broadcast partner. With Ryan Switzer leaving after five seasons, Tim Tisdale, who scored the Memorial Cup-winning goal in overtime for the Broncos in 1989, will be putting on a headset. . . . On his blog, Keen also noted that Rob Carnie, a former radio voice of the Moose Jaw Warriors, is leaving CHAB, the station on which the Warriors have long been heard. No one – but no one – brought sartorial splendour to WHL press boxes the way that Carnie did. There’s a neat little piece on Carnie right here. . . .
