D Dylan Olsen, a first-round selection by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2009 NHL draft, spent last season with the AJHL’s Camrose Kodiaks and now is headed for the U of Minnesota-Duluth. His WHL rights belong to the Medicine Hat Tigers, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2006 bantam draft. “I’m still planning to go down to Duluth in August,” Olsen told the Medicine Hat News on Monday. ““I had been talking to them for a couple years and near the end of (last) season I signed my letter of intent. I’ve been set on going their for a while. (When the Tigers) drafted me in the bantam draft, they wanted me to play for them, but growing up I’ve always been set on going to school.”

In case you missed it, Mr. Anonymous posted this message earlier today: “My wife and I were at a Winterhawks (still getting used to it being one word) game last season, and they had a guy playing organ. My wife — being a fellow musician — went up and talked to him, and he told her they were talking about bringing him in on a more permanent basis this upcoming season. Just thought you'd like to know.” . . . Go for it Winterhawks. Go for it. Your fans will love you for it.

The Moose Jaw Warriors have dropped F Martin Filip, a 20-year-old Slovakian, so will make two selections in Tuesday’s CHL import draft. Filip spent two seasons with the Warriors, totaling 44 points in 118 games. Had he returned, he would have been a two-spotter — a 20-year-old import — and that’s something that Moose Jaw director of hockey operations Jeff Truitt didn’t feel the club could afford. . . . The move leaves the Warriors with three 20-year-olds on their roster — F Jason Bast, F Cody Smuk and D Ryan Stanton.

Another interesting note was left on the blog — this one by Loft25 — and, in case you missed it, here it is. . . .
“I didn't see anyone determine how many players got drafted after their first year of eligibility (born before the Sept. 15, 1990 cutoff date).
I get:
28 - 1990s
19 - 1989s
1 - 1988
Total 48 players or 23 per cent of the draft. This leaves only 162 spots for first year draftees, which makes it even more impressive to be drafted in your first opportunity.”
By the way . . . that 1988-born player was Finnish G Mikko Koskinen. He was taken by the New York Islanders with the first pick of the second round.
