Despite dealing away almost have their roster for futures, the Broncos are still a very exciting team to watch that could give the top dogs a run for their money in the Bauer division. You have to remember that alot of these young players on that Bronco team are fighting for spots on next years club, when they host the 2012 Royal Bank Cup.
On the Klippers they had a very successful road swing taking 3 of 4 possible games. In 2010 the Klippers struggled on the road, thus far in 2011 the Klippers are at a 75 % win rate away from home. A big trip like this should build a ton of confidence leading into the Klippers playoff road games.
Since I never really put up a game review writeup from that contest, I will post up the 4 Klipper goal calls...
Kurt Leedahl : 1st Period
Johnny Calkins : 2nd Period ( 1st )
Johnny Calkins : 2nd Period ( 2nd )
Braeden Adamyk : 3rd Period ( GWG )

Also in other Klippers news Braeden Adamyk was named the SJHL Sherwood Player Of The Week today. Adamyk had a huge road trip registering ten points and of course getting his 7th GWG of the season over Humboldt. He now leads the league in game winners.
Here is the SJHL Press Release keying in on the Klippers points.....
With the January 10th trade deadline now come and gone, SJHL teams are in the stretch run and it will be a battle in both conferences for first place and playoff spots.
The Kindersley Klippers, Melfort Mustangs and La Ronge Ice Wolves are teams that are being talked about as Credit Union Cup winners and all three teams have been hot of late as all three are 8-2 in their last 10 games. It was to some a finals preview at the Northern Lights Palace on Friday night and the two teams did not disappoint with the hometown Mustangs pulling out a 4-3 victory.
As for the Ice Wolves, they continue to roll and one of the big reasons for the season they are having is the play of 20 year old Travis Eggum. The Saskatoon native has been on fire all season long and he is coming close to doing something that hasn’t been done in the SJHL in over a decade and that is score 50 goals. Eggum goes into games this week having scored 42 times as he is averaging just under a goal a game with 15 games to play.
The Klippers fine play of late combined with a slump by the Yorkton Terriers have all of a sudden made it a race for first in the Sherwood Conference. Yorkton broke a seven game winless streak with a pair of wins over Flin Flon on the weekend, but that streak combined with the fine play of the Klippers means Kindersley is just six points back. Weyburn is also trying to make it a three way race as they have 15 out of a possible 20 points in their last 10 games to sit just eight back of the Terriers.
SHERWOOD PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Here is the SJHL Power Rankings for this week. The Klippers have climbed to 3rd.
1. MELFORT MUSTANGS – Darrell Mann’s team seems to have everything they need for a championship. The additions of Brayden Metz and Cody Hanson from Melville have paid early dividends. They are playing the best out of all 12 teams at this time.
SHERWOOD PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Braeden Adamyk - Kindersley Klippers - The Klippers are trying to catch Yorkton for 1st place in the Sherwood Conference. They have been a different hockey team since Rockie Zinger took over behind the bench and several players have turned it up a notch since that happened. One of those players is the 1990 born forward from Neepawa, Manitoba. Adamyk had a big week for the Klippers as he had 10 points in four games this week on three goals and seven assists. Two of the four games saw Adamyk have four point nights.

2. LA RONGE ICE WOLVES – Not much separates the Ice Wolves from the Mustangs right now, all eyes will be on Travis Eggum to see if he can hit 50 goals and if Eggum, Doug Lindensmith and Marc Andre-Carre will be 1-2-3 in league scoring. Don’t bet against either
3. KINDERSLEY KLIPPERS – Nine of their last 14 are on home ice so this team barring something unforeseen will battle Yorkton right to the wire for first in the Sherwood
4. YORKTON TERRIERS – The additions of Buzzeo, Boyer and Remenda might make Yorkton the best team on paper, but that lineup needs to produce “W”’s. Back to back wins over Flin Flon may have been the start.
5. ESTEVAN BRUINS - The Bruins had a slow start under new coach Chad Leslie, but a two game winning streak has shown that maybe like in Kindersley, change is good.
