JUST NOTES: Martin Jones of the Calgary Hitmen is the ADT CHL goaltender of the week. He was 3-0-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .955 save percentage last week. . . . One WHL team’s coaches have taken to wearing helmets on the ice during practice sessions. More on this later, but they apparently did a minor hockey clinic and had to wear them for that, so decided to keep on wearing the lids during team practices. . . . If you’re interested and have access, the Prince George Cougars at Kamloops Blazers game is being televised by Shaw tonight. Game time is 7 p.m. Pacific time.
