Young Guns Roster Announced.

Tonight's Young Guns roster is official:

Game Four - CHARA vs. HAMHUIS

- Here it is, the final scrimmage of the weekend, and the final opportunity for some of these prospects to impress the scouting staff. Tomorrow night there will be a Young Stars game played at CN Centre, and then some of these kids might even stick around for the trip to St. Albert next weekend.

- A terrific shift by Tate Olson results in a goal for Hamhuis. Olson centered a puck brilliantly through a few opposing sticks, right to the waiting Treavor Gagne who pots the first of the game. 1-0 Hamhuis leads Chara.

- Mitch Traichevich with an outstanding stop on Duncan Campbell. Jansen Harkins found him alone in front, but Traichevich stood tall to make the stop. still 1-0 Hamhuis. Five minutes to go in the first half.

-The final score of this one was 3-0 for Team Hamhuis. Regan Yew and Brad Morrison added goals in the second half to seal the deal for Hamhuis.

- I didn't live blog the second half for a very good reason, which I will explain in a later post. But for now, I'm going to go and soak up the final few hours of my weekend.

What a great experience it was this weekend, and here's to an exciting Young Stars game and Intrasquad game later this week.

GAME THREE - Chara vs. Hamhuis (Part Two)

- Zach Nedelec fires one from the right point that deflects in off the chest of a Hamhuis defender, it's 3-1 Chara.  20 minutes remaining. It's been a much more hotly contested defensive affair so far.

- Joshua Shank robs Brad Morrison from in close to keep the game at 3-1 for Team Chara. That was Morrison's best chance of the game so far.

- Tate Olson rings one off the goal post from point blank range, and Team Hamhuis starts to gain a little momentum. Joshua Shank continues to make some impressive saves.

- Alex Methorst helps bridge the gap with a nice goal from in close. Chara still leading 3-2, but Hamhuis is coming on strong.

- Tate Olson does a great job to break up a two-on-one for Team Hamhuis. Less than nine minutes remaining in this game. 3-2 Chara leading and looking for their first win of the weekend.

- Matt Jones comes oh so close to tying the score at three. He split through the D and just ran out of room. He celebrated like he scored, and then the very next shift Carson Bolduc rings one off the post. Joshua Shank is holding his team in this. Chara still up 3-2.

- Brad Morrison on a breakaway has tied the game at three. A beautiful backhand move.

- Joshus Shank denies Jagger Thomas from point blank range to keep the game tied at three. Hamhuis is on fire right now.

- We are tied three-three after two 35 minute halfs. Looks like a shootout.

HAMHUIS:

Carson Bolduc - SAVE
Brad Morrison - SAVE - hit post.

CHARA:

Jansen Harkins - GOAL - backhand
Chase McKersie - SAVE
Dylan McCann - GOAL - forehand

4-3 Final for Team Chara.

The next scrimmage goes tonight at 7 from CN Centre.

Game Three - CHARA VS. HAMHUIS (First Half)

- A much stronger start for Team Chara who are outshooting Hamhuis in the early going.

- They are rewarded for their efforts as Shane Collins scores on a shot from the right point. 1-0 Chara.

- Sam Ruopp ties the score at one after he pinched in from the point, and shoveled in a low back-hand shot past Matt Kustra. 1-1.

- Excellent puck pressure again from Team Chara, but Bailey DePalma continues to shut the door.

- Carson  Bolduc with some nice work alongside his linemate Matt Jones. They forced the puck back to Alex Gran who just missed on a point-shot from the left side.

- Great save by Bailey DePalma who keeps the game tied. He went from left to right, and robbed a two-on-one.

- Duncan Campbell has made it 2-1 for Team Chara after a great effort by Jansen Harkins in the corner to free the puck out front. Great to see Campbell back on the ice after an injury yesterday.

- Matt Jones continues to impress. He's listed at 5'8, 177 pounds but he skates well and is very strong on his feet.

 - BREAK! 2-1 Chara after the first half.
