I know they have McKenna.

Slow start for the team overall it seems?

Slow start, but I think they expect to do good things this year- especially if they get the services of Cayden Lindstrom back. In the summer, they traded Tomas Mrsic for Ryder Ritchie, which is a huge upgrade in my book, and they added some fantastic imports in D Nilopekka Muhonen, and a favorite of mine in D Veeti Vaisanen. They also added another player I really like in D Bryce Pickford, who is currently leading the team in scoring, with 5 points in 4 games. The Tigers finished 7th overall in 2023-24, and I would dare to predict that they will do much better this year.

Basha is very likely to turn pro after this year, with the ELC signed and turning 20 in Nov 2025.
Hopefully they go on a long this year. They probably have McKenna only for this year and next.

Tigers were ranked #1 in the entire CHL in the pre-season rankings. Expectations are very high for them this season.

Definitely off to a slow start though, struggling against a team in the Rebels that is basically their kryptonite at this point.

slow start for them for sure. Lindstrom isn't back for them yet, and Ritchie hasn't scored a point so far ... but I'd imagine they'll get up to speed at some point. Stacked group.

[Sandman]

Forgot to add that Parekh scored the SO winner as well.

Good to see Henry Mews with 2 assists today for the 67's.

[Sandman]

Oct.5th:

Mews had 2a, +1, and had 5 shots in a 6-3 win over North Bay. 3gp/0g/3a/3pts,+1, 2 PIM.

Misa was held pointless again in a 6-3 win over London. 4gp/1g/2a/3pts,+3, 0 PIM. Porter Martone continues to dominate, with another goal and 2 more assists to tie Luke's brother Michael Misa for first place in OHL scoring with 12 points in 4 games.

Parekh gets 1a,+2 and a team-high 5 shots in a 7-3 win over Erie. 3gp/0g/4a/4pts,+5, 0 PIM, tied for 9th in D scoring.

Basha gets 1a, and was even in a 6-3 loss to Moose Jaw. 4gp/1g/2a/3pts, even, 4 PIM. He took 13 faceoffs, and won 5.

Hurtig was all zeroes in a 5-2 loss to Red Deer. 3gp/0g/0a/0pts,+1, 0 PIM. Get used to seeing zeroes beside his name on a nightly basis.

Jamieson had no points, -1 in a 5-4 OT win over Saskatoon. 3gp/0g/1a/1pt,+5, 2 PIM.

Prince George loses 3-2 to Portland. Laing gets a goal, and -1. 5gp/2g/2a/4pts,+4, 2 PIM.

Hurtig gets his first point, an assist, tonight!

[Sandman]

Oct.6th:

No points again for Misa, but +1 in a 7-3 loss to Niagara. 5gp/1g/2a/3pts,+4, 0 PIM. The Steelheads sit 2nd in the Central Division behind Niagara, 3rd in the East, and 4th overall.

Mews gets 1a and was +1 in a 5-4 OT win over the Fronts. 4gp/0g/4a/4pts,+2, 2 PIM. In the same contest, Battaglia had a goal and was -2, to tie Michael Misa for 2nd in OHL scoring with 5gp/5g/7a/12pts,+1, 4 PIM. Ottawa is 5th overall, while Kingston is tied for 10th.

Morin gets an assist, and was -1 in a 4-1 win over Charlottetown. 4gp/2g/1a/3pts,-1, 2 PIM. Moncton is tied for 3rd overall.

Gridin gets a goal, and was +2 in a 4-2 win over Victoriaville. 4gp/2g/1a/3pts, even, 7 PIM. Shawinigan sits 7th overall.

Hurtig gets an assist, and was +4 (!!) in a 4-3 win over the Giants. 5gp/0g/1a/1pt,+5, 0 PIM. The Hitmen are tied for 15th in the WHL.

[D as in David]

With Yakemchuk being returned to the Hitmen, is there a chance will Hurtig be paired with him?

Anything is possible, but considering their roles, I would think there’s better options- perhaps Dax Williams or Reese Hamilton?

[Sandman]

Oct.8th:

Jamieson had no points, but was +1 in a 4-1 win over Brandon. 5gp/0g/1a/1pt, +5, 2 PIM. Everett sits 1st overall.

Laing had a goal, and was +2 in a 4-3 OT loss to Portland. 6gp/4g/2a/6pts,+6, 2 PIM. The Cougs are currently tied for 1st overall with 4 other teams, but have 2 games in hand over those teams.
