Klippers Hosting Yorkton Tonight


 VS












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






Kindersley looks to rebound on home ice after a miserable road swing. Prior to the road trip, Kindersley had won back to back games at the WCEC with wins over Notre Dame and Estevan. Despite Kindersleys record of 8-22-2-1 they are pretty good on home ice. They sit with a 6-7-1-1 record at the moment. Now you clearly need to be an above .500 team in this league on home ice to have a sniff at the playoffs. Kindersley will get a great opportunity to rally a few wins together playing their next 6 games on home ice. At this point with the Klippers young team you either get a really fired up bunch or a lack luster performance which could happen on any given night. The young squad is still trying to find consistency and they will need to find it soon if they want to make the playoffs. Notre Dame lost last night which leaves them at 6 points up on the Klippers, now with only one game in hand.

In terms of Yorkton they are still not out of Kindersleys reach. The up and down Terriers sit 12 points up on the Klippers coming into tonight's game. It had seamed as if Yorkton had found their game winning 4 in a row but they have more recently dropped back to back contests. The Terriers have won both meetings against the Klippers this season, the 1st was a come from behind 4-3 overtime victory at the WCEC back on Nov 9th. The 2nd was a 6-3 Yorkton victory on their home ice back on November 23rd. Both games were hard fought physical battles that you should expect to see carry over into tonight.

Just a reminder if you are coming down to the WCEC tonight that it you are asked to bring any new unwrapped toys down to the game. It's the centre's annual toy drop program, which partners with the community Christmas hamper campaign to make sure those less fortunate in Kindersley have Christmas dinner and gifts under the tree Christmas morning. The Crisis center will be taking toy donations at the entrance to the arena, and will also have a receipt book available if anyone would like to make cash donations to the campaign.

Tonight's web cast fires up at 715 with your pregame show and puck drop to follow at 730. As always you can purchase the game at http://sjhl.neulion.com/sjhl/
