Different teams?
Regehr was Kamloops' third-highest scoring defenceman in 1998-99. Sieloff was Windsor's third-highest scoring defenceman last season.
Regehr's team was the second best team in the WHL that year, only one point behind the Hitmen. They were also the third-highest scoring team in the league.
Sieloff's team was 15th (of 20) in the OHL last season. They were also the 15th highest scoring team in the OHL.
