Congratulations to the 2010 Royal Bank Cup Champion Vernon Vipers. They captured their second consecutive championship in fine fashion by defeating the Dauphin Kings 8-1 in yesterday's final.
The La Ronge Ice Wolves are also to be commended for a season well played. They lost out in the R.B.C. Semi-Final, but put a great run together, and I'm sure the state of hockey in La Ronge has been forever changed by the 2010 team. All of their success was warranted, and well deserved.
From a North Star's perspective, we can all hold our heads high because this season we were beaten by the best team.
The junior hockey season is not officially over yet. The Memorial Cup gets started shortly and won't be wrapped up until the middle of this month.
For the Battlefords North Stars, the off-season begins now.
Over the next month, fans can expect SJHL teams to start announcing commitments for the 2010=2011 season. Last year Ken Pearson got a lot of
his worth done early. Fans may remember that Blake Tatchell and Ward Szucki were the two big-named recruits from last season who both lived up to their lofty expectations.
Star's Assistant Coach Blair Atcheynum will be a guest on the Sports Fix tonight at 8:00 and we'll hear from the coach as to what the North Star's have in mind for the next month or so. On paper things look promising for the upcoming season, and now it'll be up to the coaching staff to full in the holes. Here's hoping that the players put in the necessary time during the off-season to improve their skill-set for next season.
Blake Peake will also be a guest on the show tonight. We'll talk to Blake about his recent commitment to A.I.C, and we'll recap his M.V.P
season from 2009-2010.
