Blades game day 50/50 supporting youth sports in the community - 
Jennafer Klemmer was sitting in Wendel Clark's Goal Line Lounge at Friday's Saskatoon Blades game while she and her husband were faced with a common decision at sporting events; stay for the final horn, or leave early to beat the traffic. It was at that point in the third period when Klemmer heard her number read as the winning 50/50 ticket by public address announcer, Jeff Hayes. "Honestly, I kind of went silent," said Klemmer.

Andersen scores four as Rebels defeat Warriors 5-2 - 
RED DEER – The Red Deer Rebels ended their three-game Saskatchewan road trip on the highest note possible, defeating the Moose Jaw Warriors 5-2 led by a four-goal, five-point performance from Poul Andersen. Andersen and Rebels captain Beckett Hamilton entered the game as two of the hottest players in the league, with Anderson coming off a two-goal performance on Friday night in Saskatoon, and Hamilton riding the high of his second three-point game of the early campaign. In what’s become routine for Red Deer of late, they drew first blood early on as defenceman Kaden Meyer’s first goal as a Rebel gave his squad an early 1-0 lead. An assist form Andersen ran his league leading point streak to seven games. The lead was very short-lived, however, as Warriors blueliner Brady Ness buried his first goal of season just 16 seconds later. But roughly three minutes after that, Anderson lit the lamp for the second straight game, putting the Rebels back up by one. It was yet a

RECAP | Warriors battle but fall to Rebels - 
MOOSE JAW, Sask. - The Moose Jaw Warriors battled but fell to the Red Deer Rebels at home on Saturday night.  The Red Deer Rebels opened the scoring not four minutes into the game with a tally from Kaden Meyer. Captain Brady Ness responded quickly with a toe-drag shot through traffic to beat Nathan Salisbury and even the score. Moments later, Red Deer’s Cole Temple was assessed a minor penalty for hooking, sending the Warriors to the mad advantage. Red Deer’s penalty kill stood strong to keep the game even. Back at even strength, Poul Andersen notched Red Deer’s second of the frame to once again give them the lead.  At the halfway mark of the frame, Luke Moroz struck back for the Warriors with his second of the season to once again even the score. The teams headed into the first intermission tied at two goals apiece.

Rebels score early and often in 4-2 win in Saskatoon - 
RED DEER – It didn't take the Rebels long to right the ship after a disappointing start to their Saskatchewan road trip earlier this week, riding a hot start to a 4-2 win over the Blades in Saskatoon on Friday. The Rebels clearly came into the game with a chip on their shoulders after their 4-1 loss in Prince Albert two days earlier, putting the pressure on the Blades right off the opening draw. In just his fourth game of the season, Saskatoon native Beckett Hamilton fired home his fifth goal of the young campaign just under three minutes into the game to give his team an early 1-0 lead. With the dust barely settled, Poul Anderson made it 2-0 just 36 seconds later, extending his season-opening point streak to six games. Anderson wasn’t done there, he added his second less than three minutes later, re-directing a beautiful pass from Hamilton past Blades netminder Martin Psohlavec to put the Rebels up 3-0 just over six minutes into the contest. https://twitter.com/T

Early deficit too much to overcome in loss to Rebels - 
Saskatoon, SK - The Saskatoon Blades (2-2-1-0) fell 4-2 on Friday inside SaskTel Centre to the Red Deer Rebels (3-2-0-1). A slow start was the downfall for the Bridge City Bunch, allowing three goals in the opening 6:13 of the contest. "We didn't deserve to win," said Blades Head Coach Dan DaSilva, "Give them credit, they came out hard, and we knew they were going to come out hard like that, we know what kind of team they are, and we just simply weren't ready for it." Rookie Saskatoon netminder Martin Psohlavec was throughout the first half of the contest. The Blue and Gold were outshot 16-6 in the opening frame, led 13-10 in the second period, and peppered the visitors 10-2 in the third. The Philadelphia Flyers draft pick stopped 23 of 27 shots, dropping his record to 2-1-0-0 with a .906 save percentage (SV%) and 2.72 goals against average (GAA).

Teamcheck: ERC Ingolstadt - 
Am morgigen Sonntagabend gastieren unsere Adler beim ERC Ingolstadt. Die Panther gehörten in der vergangenen Spielzeit zu den offensivstärksten Teams der PENNY DEL, mussten allerdings nach Platz fünf in der Hauptrunde bereits im Viertelfinale die Segel streichen. Vor unserem Gastspiel an der Donau werfen wir einen Blick darauf, was sich den Sommer über beim ERC getan hat. Cheftrainer Mark French geht mittlerweile in seine fünfte Saison bei den Panthern. Zur neuen Spielzeit musste der Kanadier gezwungenermaßen Veränderungen in seinem Trainerteam vornehmen. Nach dem Abgang von Éric Dubois, der die Eisbären als Cheftrainer übernommen hat, rückte Mike Kelly als neuer Assistenztrainer an die Seite von French.   Eine Veränderung gab es daneben auch zwischen den Pfosten. Mit Jonas Stettmer kehrte ein alter Bekannter nach Ingolstadt zurück. Der 24-Jährige wurde im Nachwuchs der Panther ausgebi

Healthy Jamieson excited for ‘big jump’ to WHL - 
By DANNY RODE – Last season was tough on Luke Jamieson. The hard-working winger broke his wrist in his first scrimmage of last year’s training camp with the Red Deer Rebels leading to an injury shorten campaign. He played just 19 games with the Calgary Edge U18 Prep team and three with the Lloydminster Bobcats of the AJHL. But this year things are looking up for the 17-year-old native of Calgary. The five-foot-11, 187-pound forward had a solid training camp and made the Rebels’ starting roster. While he hasn’t hit the scoresheet in his first three games he hasn’t looked out of place. “I had to overcome a lot of mental side effects from that for sure. But it was part of the process. I just kind of stuck with it and being able to come back and make it here and this far and stick with the team is unreal,” Jamieson said. “It’s been awesome, but an adjustment for sure.” Jamieson added that he’s enjoyed everything and making the team has been “a good way for me to unde

Saskatoon Blades named Canadiens prospect Brayden Klimpke 65th captain in franchise history - 
Saskatoon, Sask., - The list of accolades for Saskatoon Blades defenceman Brayden Klimpke is already long ahead of his 19-year-old Western Hockey League (WHL) season. The Calgary, AB native can now add wearing the "C" for one of the Canadian Hockey League's (CHL) most historic franchises to the list. Klimpke was named the 65th captain in franchise history on Thursday, capping off what's been an eventful offseason for the left-handed shot. Klimpke was awarded the team's annual Most Valuable Player Award in May, drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the fourth round (#117 overall) at the NHL Entry Draft in June, and was named Tempo WHL Player of the Week on Monday after five points (3G, 2A) through the first two games of the season. Serving alongside Klimpke as alternate captains include 20-year-old winger Hunter Laing, Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick Cooper Williams, and Martensville, SK's own Kazden Mathies. "It's going to be a fun year, we hav

Royals Ranked 1st in CHL Rankings - 
The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) announced today the Week 1 edition of its CHL Top-10 Rankings for the 2026-27 season. The Victoria Royals (WHL) climb two spots to No. 1 after a 4-2 win in Kamloops, backed by Cole Prelusky’s 34-save WHL debut. The London Knights (OHL) also rise two positions to No. 2 after sweeping Windsor, with Evan Van Gorp recording five points across the two games. The Cape Breton Eagles (QMJHL) complete the top three after collecting points in consecutive shootout losses despite missing four NHL-drafted players.  New to the rankings at No. 10, the Moncton Wildcats opened with back-to-back comeback victories on the road. Their 2-0 start was capped by a 6-5 overtime win in Halifax, featuring a Niko Tournas hat trick and Rian Chudzinski’s winner. Fans can watch OHL and QMJHL game

From Kamloops to Japan and back again, Keller clan reflects on unique hockey bond - 
Sapporo, Japan — Jordan Keller retraced the steps he had taken countless times as a kid. It had been nearly a decade since he left his native Sapporo, Japan, to put down roots in Canada, but the city that raised him seemed almost exactly the same. Sure, the name of the rink had changed, but other things seemed frozen in time — from the street where he grew up playing ball hockey to his school and the other haunts along the way. To Keller, it wasn't just a homecoming. It was a full-circle moment as he prepared to represent Japan on the international hockey stage and follow in his father's footsteps for a second time. Decades earlier and a continent away, his dad started his sporting journey in one of Canada's hockey hotbeds, and for Aaron Keller, there was no better place to be a hockey player than in Kamloops in the early 1990s. The hometown kid had spent the last decade watching the Blazers lay the foundation of their dynas

Blackhawks Blow Third-Period Lead to Minnesota Wild - 
The Chicago Blackhawks traveled to Grand Casino Arena to take on the Minnesota Wild. Despite holding a 2-1 lead in the third period, Chicago lost in overtime, 3-2. The Chicago… IceHogs When looking at tonight’s lineup, one thing jumped out: the amount of inexperience on the team. The defense had some players who have seen their fair share of hockey. The forward core couldn’t be further in the opposite direction. The likes of Gavin Hayes, AJ Spellacy, Martin Misiak, and others have never seen NHL action. Outside of Dominic Toninato, there are only 175 games shared between the forwards. At moments, the inexperience showed through. Missed passes. Wide shots. Lost edges. Despite that, the team got continuously better as the game progressed.

The man, the myth, the Martin - 
When asked at media availability before the start of the 2026-27 Western Hockey League (WHL) season if he was a prankster, defenceman Jordan Martin wasn't about to give any insight. "I can't give away my secrets, but you never know," he said grinning. It’s a fitting answer for a player who doesn't always say much, but perhaps has more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye. "He's a quieter guy for sure," said teammate Brayden Klimpke. "But once you get to know him, he's a really funny guy. He's got a great sense of humour." That quiet nature carries over to the ice. The Abbotsford, B.C. product has developed into one of the Blades' most dependable pieces on the back end since making his WHL debut during the 2023-24 season. Selected by Saskatoon in the second round (41st overall) of the 2022 WHL Prospects Draft, Martin's appeared in 126 regular season games, recording 12 goals and 24 assists for 36 points.
