Kindersley Set To Host Humboldt To Close Off 2011

VS





Tonight's pre game blog is brought to you by:





The Kindersley Klippers look to close off 2011 on a high note as they play host to former Klipper Taylor Duzan and the Humboldt Broncos.

It's been a season of ups and downs with more downs then ups to this point for this young Klippers squad. Beating the Humboldt Broncos to close off the year would be a huge accomplishment for this club and would certainly serve as a huge confident boost to look forward to into the new year.

Kindersley is riding fairly high right now after a weekend that saw them play some good quality hockey against a tough Flin Flon team. Tonight's opponent may be a bit tougher on paper but last time the Broncos were in town, Kindersley picked up a point in a shootout loss.

The Humboldt Broncos though at the moment are playing their best hockey of the season and that is a scary thing. They are 9-0-0-1 in their past 10 contests and have beat Kindersley in all 3 meetings so far this season. Taylor Duzan will play against his former club for the 2nd time. He made his debut out in Humboldt against Kindersly back on December 4th. Duzan currently has 5 goals and 3 assists in 7 games in his new digs.

For Kindersley they will be without Taylor Wasden once again. A long Christmas break will serve Wasden good and he will likely come back 100% in the new year. On the back end Zane Morin is questionable, I hope to find out more this afternoon on Morin's status. He didn't play Sunday against Flon.

In net one could assume Brandon Stone gets the start tonight for the Klippers after Justin McDonald played both games this past weekend. McDonald played great on Saturday night and wasn't the reason Kindersley lost on Sunday but after a loss I would say Stone will start this evening.

After tonight Kindersley wont be in action again until January 6th when they host Weyburn. Hope to see you down at the rink tonight but if you cant make it down you can purchase and watch the webcast with play-by-play on the here http://sjhl.neulion.com/sjhl/

  1. So why is it that you take more about the other teams players then the ones you do play by play for? Get over it they moved on so should you you must have something better to write about ....NO?

  2. Is this a joke? Whether you like it or not, Taylor Duzan playing in Kindersley for the 1st time since the trade is a big deal. It's not like I even wrote much about him anyways, just stated his stats in a Bronco uniform.

  3. Fans need to remember that you are the play by play voice, not the beat writer. These players coming back is of some note of course because they spent 3 years in Kindersley. Let's give them their due, acknowledge them and then focus on the current team getting a win.

    Don't worry Ullsy, never gonna please everybody. As for his stats, they prove once again, what a good player can do on a VERY good team.

    GO KLIPPERS!
