Sunday . . . early

The Lethbridge Hurricanes, 0-4 and having surrendered 26 goals, have acquired G Linden Rowat, 20, from the Regina Pats for a conditional 2010 fifth-round bantam draft pick. Rowat spent four season with the Pats and won 85 regular season games. He is the franchise's all-time shutout leader and was especially good in 2007-08 when the Pats won the East Division pennant. . . . Rowat got caught up in the 20-year-old numbers game with the Pats, who chose to go with D Matt Delahey, F Brett Leffler and F Matt Strueby. . . . The Hurricanes are on an eight-game season-opening road trip because the Enmax Centre, their home arena, is undergoing renovations. . . . They have been carrying three goaltenders, in veteran Michael Tadjdeh, an 18-year-old from Calgary, sophomore Brandon Anderson, 17, from Langley, B.C., who played in only five games last season, and newcomer Ville Kolppanen, 17, from Tampere, Finland. . . . Rowat's arrival will leave them with three 20-year-olds, the others being F Carter Bancks and F Radim Valchar. . . . The Hurricanes, 7-2 losers to the Broncos in Swift Current on Saturday, play the Giants on Tuesday in Vancouver and then meet the Blazers in Kamloops on Wednesday. Lethbridge then travels to Prince George for a Friday-Saturday doubleheader with the Cougars. The Hurricanes will play their first home game Oct. 9 against the Edmonton Oil Kings. . . . Lethbridge also has reassigned F Garrett Taylor, 18, to the AJHL's Canmore Eagles. Taylor, from San Diego, had 10 points in 45 games last season and was pointless in two games this season. The Hurricanes also have returned F Michael Sofillas, 16, to a midget AAA team in Manitoba. He is from Morden, Man., so is likely to join the Pembina Valley Hawks. He was pointless in two games this season.
