HABSCHEID’S BACK:

MARC HABSCHEID

Marc Habscheid had been wanting to get back into the coaching game pretty much since he was removed as general manager and head coach of the Victoria Royals after the 2011-12 season.
Well, he's back, this time as the head coach of the Prince Albert Raiders, who fired head coach Cory Clouston on Friday morning. According to a Raiders news release, Habscheid signed on for the remainder of this season.
The Raiders, under interim head coach Dave Manson, the team's associate coach, beat the Warriors in Moose Jaw, 6-3, on Friday night to improve to 7-9-0. On Saturday night, the Raiders beat the visiting Saskatoon Blades, 5-2.
Habscheid, 51, becomes the 14th head coach in Raiders' history.
The Swift Current native is no stranger to the WHL. A gifted offensive player, he played two seasons (1980-82) with the Saskatoon Blades before going on to a lengthy pro career that included 345 NHL games and stints with Canada's national team.
After retiring as a player, he spent two seasons as head coach of the Kamloops Blazers and four-plus seasons with the Kelowna Rockets, a team he guided to the 2004 Memorial Cup championship. Kelly Guard, now an assistant coach with Prince Albert, was Kelowna's goaltender that season.
Habscheid took over as general manager and head coach of the WHL's Chilliwack Bruins prior to the 2009-10 season. That franchise relocated to Victoria over the summer of 2011 and Habscheid made the move, too.
However, after one season in Victoria, GSL Holdings, the Royals' parent company, announced that Habscheid "will be taking on a new executive role within GSL to assist GSL in developing other hockey related businesses."
With that, Habscheid, who owns a ranch near Swift Current, seemed to drop off the hockey map, although his name popped up at various times over the summer as 10 WHL teams made coaching changes.

F Connor McDavid had a goal an three assists Saturday as the host Erie Otters dumped the Ottawa 67's, 7-4. McDavid has 42 points, including 14 goals, in 14 games. . . . The Otters, under former Kootenay Ice head coach Kris Knoblauch, are 13-0-1.

I actually meant to mention this in yesterday's post. Dorothy and I were in a Kamloops restaurant (Senor Froggy) having lunch on Friday afternoon, when the junior B Grand Forks Border Bruins of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League dropped in for a pregame meal. We had been forewarned that the noise level might increase, but that never happened. This was a well-behaved group of young men.
---
The Regina Pats called up F Erik Gardiner, 15, from the midget AAA Prince Albert Mintos on Saturday. Gardiner, a second-round pick in the 2014 bantam draft, has 13 points, including five goals, in 11 games with the Mintos. He is the younger brother of Prince Albert Raiders F Reid Gardiner. . . . The Pats also returned G Tyler Brown, 17, to the MJHL’s Winnipeg Blues. He got into two games with the Pats, going 1-1-0/2.00/.933, in the absence of G Tyler Fuhr, who returned to the team earlier in the week.

In Cranbrook, F Jaedon Descheneau scored 10 seconds into overtime to give the Kootenay Ice a 6-5 victory over the Lethbridge Hurricanes. . . .

Cable scored with two Hurricanes in the penalty box and Ice G Wyatt Hoflin on the bench for the extra attacker. . . . The Ice had lost its previous seven games. . . . F Zane Jones scored three times for the Hurricanes, who erased a 4-0 deficit in the second period. . . . Jones has nine goals this season. . . . F Taylor Cooper gave the visitors a 5-4 lead at 12:48 of the third. . . . Cable had two goals, giving him five, and an assist, while Descheneau, F Luke Philp and D Rinat Valiev each had a goal and two helpers. . . . The Ice was without D Tanner Faith, who apparently was injured during a fight with Red Deer D Devan Fafard on Friday night. . . . Ice F Tim Bozon remains out with an undisclosed injury, while F Sam Reinhart, returned by the NHL's Buffalo Sabres on Friday morning, wasn't in the lineup, either. . . . Lethbridge F Ryley Lindgren didn't play after suffering an undisclosed injury on Friday night. . . . The Hurricanes have at least a point in six of their last seven games. . . .

In Medicine Hat, G Jordan Papirny turned aside 34 shots to spark the Brandon Wheat Kings to a 4-0 victory over the Tigers. . . . The Wheat Kings were playing their seventh game in 11 nights. They finished 6-1-0 on the seven-game road swing, including a 4-1-0 run through the B.C. Division. . . . That was Papirny's first shutout of the season and second of his career. . . . F Jesse Gabrielle had a goal, his 10th, and an assist for Brandon. . . . Wheat Kings F Tim McGauley got the game's first goal, his seventh, just 33 seconds into the first period. . . . Brandon F Rihards Bukarts had one assist and now is tied with Kamloops F Cole Ully for the WHL scoring lead. Each has 26 points, including nine goals, in 16 games. . . .

D Cole MacDonald had a goal, his fifth, and an assist, while Kevin Davis, his defence partner, had two assists. . . . Davis has 12 points, including 10 assists, in 14 games. Last season, in 65 games, he had a goal and eight assists. . . . The Silvertips, the WHL's least-penalized team, didn't take any penalties in this one, the first time that has happened in franchise history. . . . At the same time, Everett has at least one PP goal in 13 straight games. . . . Edmonton F Mads Eller was back in the lineup after missing six games with an undisclosed injury. . . . D Mirco Mueller, who spent the past two seasons with Everett, played his 10th NHL game with the San Jose Sharks last night, meaning the first year of his three-year contract kicks in. Mueller, 19, was the 18th overall selection in the NHL's 2013 draft. . . .

In Kent, Wash., G Cody Porter stopped 38 shots to lead the Vancouver Giants to a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Thunderbirds. . . . Porter, a 17-year-old from North Vancouver, earned his first victory and first shutout in his fourth appearance. . . . F Alex Baer scored the game's lone goal, his sixth, on a PP at 12:46 of the third period. . . . It was the Giants' first road victory of the season. It came in their seventh game away from home. . . . Thunderbirds D Evan Wardley returned to the lineup, having served a seven-game WHL suspension. . . . Before the game, the Thunderbirds released G Logan Flodell, 17, from their roster. Flodell, who made one appearance with Seattle, is expected to join the SJHL's Nipawin Hawks. Flodell, from Regina, was a third-round pick in the 2012 bantam draft. . . . That leaves the Thunderbirds with Taran Kozan, 20, and Danny Mumaugh, 18, as their goaltenders. . . .

In Portland, F Paul Bittner scored at 2:58 of OT to give the Winterhawks a 3-2 victory over the Kelowna Rockets. . . . It was Portland's first home victory in eight tries this season. . . .

F Rourke Chartier scored his 12th goal for Kelowna in the first period. . . . Portland F Oliver Bjorkstrand had opened the scoring at 5:35 with his 10th goal, and his third shorthanded score of the season. . . . Portland G Michael Bullion stopped 31 shots in his first WHL start. . . . The Rockets, the CHL's top-ranked team, now are 13-1-1. . . . In searching for offence, the Winterhawks split up what had been their big line of Bjorkstrand with Nic Petan and Chase De Leo. . . . The Winter hawks (6-10-2) lost D Blake Heinrich to a charging major and game misconduct for a hit on Kelowna F Tyson Baillie at 19:14 of the second period. . . . The Rockets had won 5-0 in Portland on Thursday night. . . . The Winterhawks are at home to the Edmonton Oil Kings tonight. The Oil Kings, the defending Memorial Cup champions, beat the Winterhawks in seven games in last season's WHL championship series. . . . That was the third straight WHL final to feature these two teams. . . .

In Moose Jaw, D Spenser Jensen drew two assists to help the Warriors snap a five-game losing skid with a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Hitmen. . . . F Kolten Olynek, with his second goal of the season, opened the scoring shorthanded at 4:07 of the first. . . . F Jack Rodewald, with his eighth, gave the hosts a 2-0 lead at 14:38 of the second.

The WHL’s 20-year-old deadline arrives this afternoon.
Each WHL team has to declare a maximum of three such players by the deadline.
The Saskatoon Blades will have to make a move as they are carrying four 20s since acquiring F Adam Kambeitz from the Red Deer Rebels on Monday. The Blades also have D Connor Cox, F Josh Nicholls and F Brenden Walker on their roster.
The Portland Winterhawks also are carrying four 20s — G Cam Lanigan, G Mac Carruth, F Taylor Peters and D Troy Rutkowski. However, Carruth was just assigned to them by the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks, so the Winterhawks have 14 days from his arrival to get down to four 20s.
The Medicine Hat Tigers’ roster also includes four 20s — F Kale Kessy, F Elgin Pearce, D Derek Ryckman and D Alex Theriau. The situation here isn’t what it seems, however, as Theriau is on the injury list as he recovers from offseason hip surgery and, as you will read further on, Kessy, while under a WHL suspension, no longer is with the Tigers.
Two other teams — the Kamloops Blazers and Prince Albert Raiders — are keeping close tabs on a couple of AHL camps.
D Austin Madaisky has spent the last two-plus seasons with the Blazers. He has signed an NHL contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets and is with their AHL affiliate, the Springfield, Mass., Falcons. He is one of 10 defencemen on their roster as Saturday’s season-opener approaches. The Blazers have three 20s on their roster in F Jordan DePape, F Brendan Ranford and F Dylan Willick.
At the same time, the Prince Albert Raiders are watching the camp of the AHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs because D Antoine Corbin is there. If he returns to Prince Albert, the Raiders will have 14 days to make a move involving him, F Anthony Bardaro, D Davis Vandane or G Luke Siemens.
Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oil Kings are at the other end of the spectrum, with two 20s — F T.J. Foster and F Dylan Wruck.
———
When F Jordan Messier woke up Tuesday, you can bet he was thinking about the Tri-City Americans’ approaching swing into the East Division.
It wasn’t long, however, before Messier had a head start.
The Americans, who will head east today, dealt Messier, 20, to the Moose Jaw Warriors yesterday, getting back a 2014 fourth-round bantam draft pick. He was packing his gear, while his former teammates were preparing to head east.
In six games this season, his fifth in the WHL, Messier has three points.
Messier, from Canmore, Alta., has 163 points in 270 regular-season games, all of them with the Americans. Tri-City selected him in the second round of the 2007 bantam draft.
He is expected to make his Moose Jaw debut on Saturday against the visiting Prince Albert Raiders. The Americans, whose roster includes Jordan’s brother Marcus, 18, will play in Moose Jaw on Sunday.
Jordan met up with G Eric Comrie for lunch yesterday.
“I had a bite to eat with Eric and joked to let me slip one past him,” Messier told Annie Fowler of the Tri-City Herald. “It will be good to see the boys so soon. I will definitely come out hard for that one.”
The deal leaves the Americans with three 20-year-olds — D Drydn Dowd, F Justin Feser and F Jesse Mychan.
To stay at three 20-year-olds, the Warriors promptly released F Austin Bourhis, who had one assist and 17 penalty minutes in four games this season. Bourhis, from Kipling, Sask., has split 117 regular-season games between the Medicine Hat Tigers, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw.
The Warriors other 20-year-olds are F Justin Kirsch and D Kendall McFaull.

The Everett Silvertips have traded F Ryan Chynoweth, 17, to the Tri-City Americans for a conditional fifth-round selection in the 2014 bantam draft. Chynoweth, the son of Kootenay Ice president/general manager Jeff Chynoweth, was the Silvertips’ first pick, going 24th overall, in the 2010 bantam draft.
Nick Patterson of the Everett Herald reports that Ryan Chynoweth asked the Silvertips for a trade. Patterson also writes that the conditional pick “begins as a fifth-rounder, but could rise to as high as a third-rounder depending on how Chynoweth performs” in 2013-14.
Chynoweth, who was a healthy scratch for two weekend games, is pointless in four games this season. Last season, he had eight points, two of them goals, in 66 games.
If you’re wondering, there was no chance of his ending up with the Ice. Prior to the 2010 bantam draft, he told his father that he didn’t want to play at home. That holds true today.
“I never even pursued it,” Jeff Chynoweth told me via text yesterday. “It wouldn’t be fair to him or the team.”
———
The Tri-City Americans were really busy yesterday, as they also dealt D Sam Grist, 19, to the Kamloops Blazers for a pair of bantam draft picks — a third-rounder in 2013 and a fifth-rounder in 2014. (For now, that fifth is the pick the Americans got from Everett for F Ryan Chynoweth. Of course, as noted, that pick could escalate to a third.)
The 6-foot-4, 200-pound Grist is in his third WHL season. He has 15 points and 207 penalty minutes in 119 regular-season games.
“With the emergence of some of our younger defencemen like (Wil) Tomchuk and (Brodie) Clowes, who is close to returning to practice, we had to get our numbers down on defense,” Tri-City general manager Bob Tory said in a news release. “This move allows Sam to play on a good team, closer to home, while opening some ice time for our other players.”
———



Following the Monday trade of F Adam Kambeitz, who was the team captain, the Red Deer Rebels have announced that F Turner Elson, 20, will wear the ‘C.’ Kambeitz, 20, was traded to the Saskatoon Blades. . . . Elson returned to the Rebels’ lineup last night in Swift Current after missing seven games with an undisclosed injury. . . .
The Brandon Wheat Kings are a finalist in the Small Business category of the 2012 Manitoba Business Awards, which are into the final stages. The Small Business division comprises those with fewer than 30 employees. . . . Brandon businesses were nominated by the Economic Development Brandon office and the Brandon Chamber of Commerce submitted the applications. . . . Winners will be announced on Oct. 18 at the annual awards gala in Winnipeg. . . .
The Everett Silvertips left on their East Division swing Tuesday and there were three goaltenders on the bus when it hit the highway. G Austin Lotz (groin) was injured Saturday and unable to play Sunday, but he is on the trip. Also on the trip are Cole Holowenko, who was sharing time with Lotz, and Daniel Cotton, who was acquired Sunday from  the Seattle Thunderbirds. . . .
It seems that F Kale Kessy of the Medicine Hat Tigers is serving out his WHL suspension in the training camp of the AHL’s Portland Pirates. Kessy drew a 12-game suspension on Sept. 24 for a headshot major. Sean Rooney of the Medicine Hat News writes that “the Tigers quietly shipped off their fourth-most experienced player . . . two weeks ago. The only mention of the move from the team came in a note on their Oct. 2 injury report, found on the WHL’s website.” . . . Kessy, a fourth-round selection by the Phoenix Coyotes in the NHL’s 2011 draft, isn’t eligible to return to the Tigers’ lineup until Oct. 26. . . . D Ryan Pilon of the Lethbridge Hurricanes, who was the subject of Kessy hit, hasn’t played since Sept. 22. . . . Rooney also reports that the Tigers should have freshman D Ty Stanton (undisclosed upper body injury) in the lineup tonight when they play host to the Edmonton Oil Kings. . . .
The Edmonton Oil Kings will be without F Stephane Legault for up to six weeks. He suffered a broken left foot when he blocked a shot by D Alex Roach during Sunday’s 6-5 OT loss to the Hitmen in Calgary. . . . The Oil Kings continue to be without D Keegan Lowe (knee), but he skated Tuesday. Lowe has missed four games. . . .
The Saskatoon Blades will honour former star Gerry Pinder on March 8 prior to a game against the visiting Medicine Hat Tigers. He will have his number (7) retired. Actually, the number already is retired – F Brent Ashton wore it. Other numbers retired by the Blades are F Bob Bourne’s 12, F Wendel Clark’s 22, F Bernie Federko’s 15 and F Brian Skrudland’s 10. . . . Pinder played for the Blades in the early days. In fact, he set the WHL record for most points in one game (10) and that’s a mark that has been equalled but not broken. He had six goals and four assists in a 17-5 victory over the visiting Calgary Buffaloes on March 12, 1967. . . . Pinder put up 221 points in 109 games with the Blades.

TUESDAY’S ACTION:
Sophomore F Brooks Maxwell scored his first goal of the season, a PP score at 17:30 of the third period, to break a 2-2 tie and give the Red Deer Rebels a 3-2 victory over the Broncos in Swift Current. . . . The Broncos (3-1-4) lost for the first time in regulation time this season. . . . It was a battle of import goaltenders, with Red Deer’s Patrik Bartosak, a Czech, and the Broncos’ Eetu Laurikainen, a Finn, each stopping 29 shots. . . . The Rebels ended up 3-2-1 on an swing through the East Division. . . . The Rebels will be without sophomore D Kayle Doetzel (broken jaw) for up to six weeks. He was injured on Oct. 3 in a 5-3 victory over the Blades in Saskatoon. . . .

F Lane Scheidl scored in OT to give the host Regina Pats a 3-2 victory over the Portland Winterhawks. . . . Scheidl’s fourth goal of the season came at 4:28 of extra time, just 28 seconds after the Pats had killed off a Portland PP. . . . Regina G Matt Hewitt was huge with a 34-save effort. . . . Portland G Brendan Burke stopped 21 shots. G Mac Carruth, assigned to the team by the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks after a stint in camp with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs, was on the bench, leaving Cam Lanigan as a healthy scratch. . . . Portland F Taylor Peters forced OT with his first goal of the season at 16:55 of the third. . . .

The Prince Albert Raiders continued to write the WHL’s best early-season success story as they ran their winning streak to seven games with a 4-1 victory over the Hurricanes in Lethbridge. . . . The Raiders now are 7-0-1. . . . According to WHL Facts (@WHLFacts), the Raiders last won seven in a row in February/March of 1999. . . . D Sawyer Lange, a sophomore from Prince Albert, scored his third goal in eight games and it stood up as the winner. He had one goal in 58 games last season. . . . The Hurricanes actually opened the scoring when veteran F Russell Maxwell scored 21 seconds into the game. That was the first time in seven games this season that Lethbridge had scored the game’s first goal. . . . Prince Albert F Mike Winther, who hadn’t played since Sept. 28 because of a groin injury, scored his first goal of the season. . . . The Raiders went 4-0 on a swing that took them to Edmonton, Calgary, Cranbrook and Lethbridge.
