Weekend Update: Muench, Kimpinski, Hamm, Halloween Pics

The odds are good that Dane Muench is coming back.

The only way that it won't happen is if Swift Current does not grant Dane his release or as long as he's not traded to another WHL team. Both are still possibilities, but according to Jon Keen's blog, the decision was a mutual one between Dane and the Swift Current Broncos, so getting the release shouldn't be an issue.

Could he be traded to another WHL team? That does still remain a possiblity.

As for when he'd suit up - It won't be for another week to 10 days. Muench suffered an injury in the Western Hockey League, and is still not fit to play. I'd say the earliest we see him is on November 10th in Nipawin.

In six WHL games, the 17-year-old recorded four assists. Last year with the North Stars, Muench led the team with 24 goals, and was a finalist for the SJHL Rookie of the year.

His readdition to the North Stars lineup would undoubtedly make them a better team, and could "put them over the edge" as it were.

For those that haven't seen Muench play, you're missing out. He's a pure goal scorer, with more toughness than you'd expect. This is HUGE news for the North Stars.

Korey Kimpsinki and Kyle Hamm have been traded.

Ken Pearson has dealt Kimpinski and Hamm to the OCN Blizzard of the MJHL in exchange for future considerations and the Junior A. playing rights to 1989 born defenceman J.C. Sampson.

I wish Kimpinski and Hamm well, but I still maintain that the two of them may have missed out on being part of something really special here in the Battlefords. The OCN Blizzard are going to have a peach of a time trying to beat out the Dauphin Kings in the MJ.

That's all I'll say about that.

As promised, here is a photo of my Halloween 'get-up.'
