Individual Notes


Stefan Matteau- Junior had a good bounce back week in terms of putting up the points. However, he did receive a game misconduct penalty against Quebec. Because I`m not exactly fluent in french, I`m not too sure what that penalty (Aggressor) is. I`m guessing it`s a boarding or a fighting penalty, but regardless, it`s not very nice to see that he`s still unable to control his emotions.

Individual Notes


Reid Boucher- The Sting are starting to get a bit better (and accustomed to life without Nail Yakupov), and that`s been a big reason for Boucher`s big week. Propped up by a 3 point performance against Sault Ste. Marie, he`s looking much better.

Artur Gavrus- Now that he`s officially part of HC Neman, I`ve removed him from the roundups. If he does return to the OHL, i`ll put him back. But because he`s not playing in the OHL at the moment, there`s no point for me just to leave his stat column blank.

Individual Notes


Graham Black- Black missed Friday`s against the Saskatoon Blades. There was no update on the Broncos website, but it wasn`t a big problem as he was able to play the next game.

Reese Scarlett- while Black wasn`t playing that Friday, Reece Scarlett was. Scarlett had a 4 point night as the Broncos destroyed the Blades. However, i`d like to note that there`s some sort of scoring error- the Broncos say that Scarlett scored a goal that night with three assists, while the WHL`s official scoring summary of that game has Scarlett registering four assists. For now, i`ll use the WHL`s point totals.

Individual Notes


Alexander Kerfoot- Alexander Kerfoot continues to be a force in the BCHL with another strong week. He`s even found his way into the top 10 BCHL scorers. While the BCHL is a weaker league than the major junior leagues (OHL, WHL, QMJHL), it`s encouraging to see Kerfoot playing this way.

Devils Junior Prospect of the Week- Reece Scarlett

While Boucher and Junior had great weeks themselves, Scarlett`s 4 point night was what set him apart from the other two. It`s not exactly common for a Defenseman to score 4 points in a game. So Reece Scarlett earns the honor of the DJPotW this week.
