Teams visiting the Toyota Center in Kennewick, Wash., will notice improvements to their dressing room (see picture above). The work was done over the summer. Craig West of the Tri-City Americans says: “Color Tile provided carpet, ProBuild the wood and finish, and Thomas Burnett Construction the carpentry. This is a very giving area. You ask and they do it. I’ve never lived anywhere else where people are willing do step up like they do here. It never ceases to amaze me.”

How about a shout out to Les Karpluk? He has been a member of the Prince Albert Raiders’ board of directors since 2007. He also is the chief of Prince Albert’s Fire and Emergency Services Department. Earlier this week, Karpluk was named the Fire Chief of the Year by the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs at their annual conference in Winnipeg. . . . My late father was a volunteer fire chief and at one time served as the president of the Manitoba Association of Fire Chiefs. Yes, being named the Fire Chief of the Year is a big deal. Congratulations!

The Everett Silvertips have assigned F Brett Miller, 18, to the SJHL’s Battlefords North Stars. Everett acquired him last week from the Red Deer Rebels for a conditional draft pick. He was pointless in two games last weekend. Miller was the 14th overall pick in the 2006 bantam draft, taken by the Regina Pats. . . . Everett is down to 24 players, including 14 forwards and eight defencemen.
