The Saskatoon Blades, obviously hoping to add more grit to their roster, have two Sutters in camp. Brody Sutter, 17, is Duane’s son; Lukas, 15, is Rich’s son. Brody is a list player; Lukas was the 42nd selection in the 2008 bantam draft and will play with a midget AAA team in Lethbridge. Brody, a 6-foot-3, 165-pounder who play with the midget AAA Calgary Buffaloes, has a chance to make the Blades’ roster.

The WHL made it official Friday — the Brandon Wheat Kings, Everett Silvertips and Kelowna Rockets have submitted applications to play host to the 2010 Memorial Cup. Bid presentations will take place Oct. 15 at a board of governors meeting in Calgary and a decision will be announced after that meeting. This will be a two-horse race between Brandon and Everett. It's the old guard against the new, old money against new. . . . The 2009 Memorial Cup will be played in Rimouski, Que., home of the QMJHL’s Oceanic.
