EHM 2005: Moose Jaw Dynasty
Well, thge DD finally got to us and away we go. Here is how Moose Jaw looks at the beginning of the 2004 season.
Head Coach: Steve Young A pretty good positional coach, but not very good at the "head coach" stuff. I need someone who has a higher Adaptability (5) and Level of Discipline (6). The search begins. No Assistant Coaches I'll be looking for a couple. Head Scout: Kim Dryka Judging Player Ability: 11 Judging Player Potential: 13 Scouts My best scout is Rob MacLachian (13,13). He'll always be assigned to young players and the Bantam Draft. At the juniors, it's essentiallly college. Players don't stick around long so I need my best scout on the incoming talent. I have 6 other scouts, most of them are not all that good. I have 3 trainers (all 20) Next up, Roster |
good luck, i will be reading

Goalies
Moose Jaw Roster #33 Sam Huston Age: 16 Eligability: 4 years left Comments: Technically, he's pretty sound. All attributes are rated from 7 to 11. His mental attributes, however, need work. He definately needs better Anticipation (6), Work Rate (6) and Influence (5). #34 Josh Lepp Age: 19 Eligability: 1 year left Comments: Rated 8 through 10 in his technical abilities. His mental attributes are much better than Huston's. The only thing that would really need improvement is his Influence (6) #31 Joey Perricone Age: 17 Eligability: 3 years left Comments: Rated 8 through 10 in his technical abilites (slightly better than Lepp). Mentally, he's noticably lower than Lepp, although none of his mentals are anything to worry about. Starter: Josh Lepp Backup: Joey Perricone I may send Huston to Pilot Butte so he can get some playing time. CHL Rights (goalies that I have the rights to but are not on my roster) Bryan Allard Age: 18 Eligability: 2 years left Comments: Erratic Technically. A 6 in passing, but a 15 in Recovery and 14 in Stickhandling (not sure how much Stickhandling helps a goalie. Bloacking with the stick?) Other than those two, he's rated 6 (passing) through 10. Mentally, he's pretty brave and has a lot of flair. Mmm...don't much like flair in ym goalies. I want them to be stoic, unovable forces. Not..flair. Evan Karembelas Age: 15 Eligability: 4 years left Comments: Physically gifted, but mentally and technically, he's no where near being ready. He needs to improve fast if he wants a shot at Moose Jaw. Cameron Reid Age: 16 Eligability: 4 years left Comments: Technically getting there (6-9). Physically needs work. His Balance (3) and Strength (4) are terrible. Good Work Rate (12), but mentally needs a lot of work everywhere else. |
Defensemen
#5 Cole Butterfield LD Age: 17 Eligability: 2 years left Comments: Average player all around with good Determination (12). #27 Derek Edwards LD Age: 17 Eligability: 3 years left Comments: Slightly below average player all around #20 Stuart Kerr LD (OVR - counts as overage player) Age: 20 Eligability: No eligability after season. Comments: Average player with some good mental attributes. Determination (13), Bravery (14) and Aggression (15). He's an intimidator. I like that (but it'd be nice if he was a little stronger (Strength: 12)) #2 Greg Park LD Age: 18 Eligability: 1 year left Comments: Like Stuart Kerr, an intimidator who is a little more physically gifted and he knows how to check (Checking: 14). #4 Artem Polikarpov LD Age: 17 Eligability: 2 years left Comments: Average Physically, Average technically (with a great Wristshot (15)). Mentally very good. Anticiplation (15), Determination (15) and Influence (14). #32 Cole Simpson LD Age: 18 Eligability: 2 years left Comments: Average Physically, Below Average Technically and Mentally. #6 Dan Ehrman RD (OVR) Age: 19 Eligability: No eligability after season Comments: Average Physically and Mentally, Slightly below average Technically #3 Jordan Henry Age: 18 Eligability: 2 years left Comments: Average player. Good Bravery (14) (How the coach sees it) Defenders Line 1: Park - Ehrman Line 2: Kerr - Henry Line 3: Simpson - Butterfield Line 4: Edwards - Polikarpov These might change if I change the head coach. CHL Rights Too many to list each of them. Here are some that stick out to me. Dylan Chapman Age: 16 Eligability: 3 years Comments: A slow player (Speed: 4), but physically average otherwise. VERY aggressive (19), Determination (15), Work Rate (13). Can hit hard (Hitting: 13) and checks very well (13). Talk about an intimidator! His speed worries me and his agreesion is too much. He'd spend a lot of time in the penalty box. Garrett Lasko Age: 16 Eligability: 4 years left Comments: Good Delfections (12), good Slapshot (12). Good Determination (12). Physically above average. Could have a very good chance of making my roster next year. If I get a few defensemen going down to injury, I may bring him in sooner. Cal O'Connor Age: 17 Eligability: 2 years left Comments: Physically and Mentall above average, but Technically below average. I like him a lot, but his technically skills are down. I may still bring him in so I can control his training. Michael Trebish Age: 15 Eligability: 4 years left Comments: For a 15 year old, his mental attributes are pretty good. Bravery (14), Aggression (13), Determination (13), Work Rate (12). Technically needs a lot of work. |

Here are just a few stand outs Ryley Gantham LW Age: 16 Eligability: 4 years left Comments: Good physically, low mentally but has good teamwork (11), influence (12) and work rate (14). Also below average technically, but he can pass (13) and is great on the faceoff (15). I may sign him so I can train him as a center. Mitrch Kelly RW Age: 15 Eligability: 4 years left Comments: Above average physically and mentally, but has poor anticipation (5). Needs work technically, but is good on the faceoff (14). And there we have it. |

Here is my updated preseason schedule now that the games have begun:
|
Sep. 2, 2004
Moose Jaw 3 Prince Albert 2 (0-1,2-1,1-0) 1st Star: Brennen Wray (1G-GW) 3rd Star: Riley Holzapfel (2G) Sep. 3, 2004 Swift Current 2 Moose Jaw 5 (0-2,2-2,0-1) 1st Star: Masi Marjamaki (2G, 1A) 2nd Star: Blair Jones (2A) 3rd Star: Carter Smith (1G) |
Sept. 4, 2004
World Cup Russia 3, Canada 1 USA 6, Slovakia 0 Moose Jaw News Training Camp begins: Reporting in the best shape were Cal O'Connor and Josh Lepp Arhem Porikarpov and Derek Edwards left something to be desired. Sept. 5, 2004 Moose Jaw TC News Team Red beat Team Blue 4-2 Gillen, Dietrich and Butterfield put in good performances. I bring in a defensive player to camp. Lane Manson is a player I have the rights to and is in his last year of eligability. He was just released by his team and figured I'd bring him into camp and see if he impresses. He did not play in the above scrim. World Cup Finland 5, Germany 1 Czech Republic 6, Sweden 4 |
Sept. 6, 2004
World Cuup Championship Quarter Final: Czech Republic 3, Germany 1 Moose Jaw Exhibition Lethbridge 2 Moose Jaw 4 (2-1,0-2,0-1) 1st Star: Kenndal McArdle (2G, 1A) 3rd Star: Jacob Dietrich (1G, 1A) Sept. 7, 2004 Moose Jaw TC News Team Blue wins 5-4 McArdle, Gillen and Henry impressed. We may be losing Boyd and Marjamaki for the rest of the preseason. The Flames have invided Boyd to their camp and the Bruins have invited Marjamaki. They are both gone until the 17th. To fill their spots in TC, I have brought Grantham back to the roster from Pilot Butte. One side will just have to make due without a spot filled. World Cup Championship Quarter Final: USA 3, Slovakia 2 Championship Quarter Final: Sweden 2, Finland 1 |
Sept 8, 2004
World Cup Championship Quarter Final: Russia 2, Canada 0 Moose Jaw Scouting Got my first slew of reccommended players from the upcoming Bantam Draft. Lots of great prospects. Will go into them more in depth when the draft approaches. Sept 9, 2004 Moose Jaw TC News Team Red wins 5-4 McArdle, Grantham and Dietrich impressed Moose Jaw Exhibition Moose Jaw 2 Kamloops 5 (2-4, 0-1,0-0) 3rd Star: Jacob Dietrich (1G, 1A) Not sure if the morning scrim wore my players out or not. In the future I should be more mindful not to schedule an exhibition on the day of a scrim. Sept 10, 2004 WHL Preview The Calgary Hitmen are expected to take the WHL Cup this year. Moose Jaw is predicted to be the 14th team (out of 20). We'll show them World Cup Championship Semi Final: Czech Republic 5, Sweden 0 Moose Jaw Exhibition Saskatoon 2 Moose Jaw 6 (1-2,1-1,0-3) 1st Star: Troy Brouwer (2G, 1A) 2nd Star: Ian McKenzie (2G) 3rd Star: Jacob Dietrich (1G, 1A) Sept 11, 2004 Moose Jaw TC News Team Blue wins 4-3 O'Connor, Robinson and Jones impressed. Final Cut day. Well, no cuts because I can't afford to cut anyone as I have a bare roster and I didn't bring anyone except Manson into camp. Manson he did ok (6.67) in his 3 scrims, but has been solid (8) in the exhibitions. However, Head Coach Andy Berry does not think Manson belongs on the roster. In fact, looking over his stats, he spends a lot of time in the box so I think I will be passing on Manson. World Cup Championship Semi Final: Russia 4, USA 2 |
Looks like Dietrich is doing well right now. Gillen's impressing consistently looks to be good foreshadowing too. :)

Quote:
Yeah, I'm surprised at their outcomes so far. Both seemed to be unimpressive, average players on paper. Hopefully they keep it up. |

Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Kelowna 7 Moose Jaw 2 (4-1,1-0,2-1) The best team in the WHL just gave me an old school spanking. |
Nov 28, 2004
Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Vancouver 5 Moose Jaw 0 (1-0,2-0,2-0) Joey Perricone has been TERRIBLE in the last two games. Against Kelowna, he let up 3 goals in the first 5 minutes and was replaced. And now he had this bad performance (5). I warned him for poor performance and he said he deserved it and will try to motivate himself in the future. Dec 1, 2004 Canada - Russia Challenge WHL Stage: WHL All-Stars 8, Russia Select 3 Kenndal McArdle played for 10:51 and was +2 for the game Dec 3, 2004 Canada - Russia Challenge WHL Stage: WHL All-Stars 6, Russia Select 4 Kenndal McArdle played for 16:43 and scored 2 goals, had 2 assists and was +4 on the game. He was named 2nd Star in the game. Moose Jaw Trade with Lethbridge Lethbridge Gets: G Sam Huston, rights to RD Jeremy Schappert Moose Jaw Gets: LW/C Dustin Sather, 2005 Bantam Draft Round 8 Pick Sather is 18 years old and has 2 years left. I think he could add some spark to my struggling offense. I get in return a midround draft pick. I gave up a goalie who I don't think would have developed into a good goalie and the rights to a defensemen who I am not sure about. Schappert looks like he could become a good defensemen. Comments about Sather: He is a physical monster. Fast (16 Speed, 16 Acceleration, Agility 12) and can last a long time (Stamina 17). Good Teamwork (14), Bravery (13) and Aggression (13). Technically slightly below average, however (all attributes 7-11). But then most players on my team and in the Canadian junior leagues are technically average or lower. He'll easily make 2nd line. Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 0 Prince Albert 5 (0-3,0-1,0-1) Perricone again has a terrible game. We have been outscored 17-2 in the last 3 games, 10-0 in the last 2. Just horrible. To make matters worse, Kyle Brodziack pulled his groin again in his first game back and will be gone for a few more weeks. |

Dec 8, 2004 Moose Jaw Signing G Bryan Allard Age: 18 Eligability: 2 years Comments: Great Recovery (15), good Stickhandling (14). A decent goalie who will replace Huston. Transfew will go through July 7, 2005.

Things have been going downhill a lot. I'm just a couple of points of people out of the playoff picture.
I have offered on my scouts the role as Assistent GM to help me better look over the roster. Rob MacLachian is the best scout I have (13 - Potential, 12 Ability). I looked outside of the team but no one caught my eye. I'm also looking to get at least 2 more Assistent Coaches.

Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Saskatoon 6 Moose Jaw 2 (3-0,2-1,1-1) I fined Perricone 1-Week pay for his poor performance. He admits that he deserves the fine. I have pretty much wirtten off this season. Lethbridge came to me for a trade for Kenndal McArdle and I am considering it. They are offering 3 players (2 signed and 1 rights). All three are decent players. Plus, they offered 3 draft picks (2005 3rd Round, 2006 3rd Round, 2007 3rd Round). I countered with the same players, but for 2 1st Round picks and a 6th Round pick. We'll see what happens. Dec 28, 2004 Lethbridge wants to make the deal. Now, some people might be yelling "What? You have one of THE best WHL players and you are going to trade him!?" Let me explain. McArdle has 2 years of eligability left. This year is already a wash. We really have no chance of making it far in the playoffs, if we make it to the playoffs at all. Which basically gives me 1 more run with McArdle. This trade lets me build for the future. Lets me build a lot. G Daniel Spence (1-Star) Age: 16 Eligability: 4 years left. I don't hold out much hope for this one. But, he already has good technical kepper skills. His problem is mental and and I'm very shallow at G right now. LW/RW Micheal Kaye (3-Star) Age: 17 Eligability: 2 years left. Pretty much a slightly below average player all around. He's basically roster filler for the spot being left open by McArdle. LW/RW Dwight King (3-Star) Age: 15 Eligability: 4 Years I can't see all of his attributes, but I like what I see from most of them. He was taken by Lethbridge in last year's draft in Round 1 (#4). He could develope into a great player. Draft Picks: 2005 1st Round, 2006 1st Round, 2006 6th Round. I take the trade. |

Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 3 Regina 4 (1-1,1-1,1-1,0-1) Regina is the team I'm battling for a playoff spot. This game puts me 3 points behind them. Jan 8, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 4 Brandon 5 (3-1,1-1,0-2,0-1) Another 3rd period collapse. Moose Jaw Trade Proposal Jacob Dietrich has quietly been gaining reputation. In 22 games, he has 43 points (22G, 21A) and an Average Rating of 8.23. I'm very hesitant to trade him because, unlike McArdle, he has 3 years left in eligability. 3 teams came with trade proposals and 2 were rejected immediately. However, Kootenay has offered an interesting deal. They are offering 3 players and 2 draft picks. One player, who has great attributes but terrible stats, is named Brett Sutter. On paper, he alone is better than Dietrich. For some reason, he just hasn't produced. And then there are the draft picks which I could, as I did before, try and bump them up to 1st Round picks. I delayed the trade for a week. This may cause Kootenay to pull the proposal, but I want to have my scouts check out the players involved before I make any decisions. Jan 9, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 5 Saskatoon 2 (5-1,0-1,0-0) 1st Star: Artem Polikarpov (3A) 2nd Star: Dustin Sather (1G,1A) 3rd Star: Riley Holzapfel (2G) Our first win in a long time.

Jan 10, 2005
Moose Jaw Trade The trade between Kootenay and Moose Jaw is now off due to Kootenay trading Sutter to Seattle. Time will tell if I missed a great chance there.

Moose Jaw Player News The hammer is coming down hard on Perricone. I fined him 2-week's pay for his poor performance and he responded that it was unfair. Then a news story came out attacking Perricone. I responded by Critisizing Perricone which the fans and the board both felt was right. I have set Perricone's status as Available. We'll see if he gets any action when trading begins again on June 1st.

Retirement Cal O'Connor decided to give up hockey and retire. July 11, 2005 Signings I've been spreading the wealth as I've been signing a lot of unsigned prospects. The one that really pissed me off though was Dwight King turning down our contract and taking one from Salmon Arm, a team in the British Columbia Hockey League...ugh. Rundown of roster will come in September. July 18, 2005 Signings We were able to convince Dwight King to come to our team (most likely due to a $6k bonus). So we finally sign him. |
Love the dynasty ! Especially the last minute playoff berth. At my very first E3 last year, we played an NHL season with Atlanta and ended up tied with NY Islanders before the final game of the season, which was played against...yep...Isles. We had already given up on playoffs at the trade deadline and had offloaded quite a lot of vets. But we somehow won the last game and went through.
And just like you, we got only one win in the first round before being ousted :D Keep it up. I like reading the dynasties from the junior level. |
Thanks for the comments riz. It was pretty exciting at the end there, fighting for the playoff spot. Hopefully we can make it into the second round this year, but I'm not holding my breathe. Losing some veteren players.
July 21, 2005 Moose Jaw Trade As the end of July approaches, the beginning of training camp will soon be here and it's time to start trading and imrpoving my position. My strategy in the upcoming trades are to trade for young talent for old talent. Trade with Swift Current Moose Jaw gets: C/RW Michael Kay Swift Current gets: C Brennen Wray Wray disappointed me a lot this last season. I didn't expect much from him, and I got less than that. Kay is a fast forward who is also brave and aggresive with average technical skills. Trade with Tri-City Moose Jaw gets: C Ryan McDonald Tri-City gets:C Justin Scott Scott was another disappointment with only 10 points in 37 games last year. He is still young and may yet develope, but I noticed Ryan McDonald and wanted him on my team. He's a speedy center who knows how to score. Both are the same age and the result of this trade will be known in 2 years, but I think I made out better in this trade. Trade with Lethbridge Moose Jaw gets: RW/LW Shane Gimas Lethbridge gets: C Steven Gillen and 2006 3rd Round Bantam Draft pick Gillen is a player who did great for me in training camp, but once the season started he fell apart. He's only got 1 year left now and saw a chance to dump him for a player with some years left (2 actually). Gimas is another fast offensiveman, but he's also strong and can hit. I wanted him on my team and thought he was worth a 3rd round pick. We'll see if that holds up as Gimas was a disappointment last year for the teams he played on. As you can see, I'm trying to build a team around speed. I want a team that will skate circles around the competition. :) |
Aug 23, 2005
Moose Jaw Trade Moose Jaw gets: Medicine Hat 2006 Round 2 Pick, Medicine Hat Round 4 (from Brandon) Pick Medicine Hat gets: C Blair Jones Blair Jones gets a lot of attention, but he wasn't exceptional for me last year (36 points, 7.45 AvR). And he's only got 1 year left so I jumped at the chance to grab a few picks for next year's draft. Aug 24, 2005 Moose Jaw Trade Moose Jaw gets: RD Kellan Turner, rights to C Joel Freisen Vancouver gets: RW/C Ian McKenzie McKenzie was terrible last year. Don't know why anyone would want him, but Vancouver is welcome to him. Kellan Turner is a throwaway player, but Joel Freisen is a real prospect. |

Thanks. Yes, Romanovsky is already signed and on the team. Ryasensky has agreed to a contract, but can't move to the team until next season (when his current contract runs out). |
Haven't really been reading your dynasty much since I've been doing a Brandon career myself (currently at the 2005 Bantam Draft). I won the East with the Wheaties, but was knocked out of the 1st round by the Warriors after taking a 2-0 series lead (grrrrrrrr). They're a pain in the ass and McArdle is a fricking stud. The number one problem I'm having is goaltending, which is strange because I've got one of the best in Tyler Plante. He was just a 17 year-old this last year though.

According to the stats, Perricone was a good goalie, but he still wasn't good enough to my standard. Finding a great goalie at this level seems to be very hard. That's why I've gone in the direction of trying to build an offensive powerhouse team (opposite to my own personal RL philosphy to sports in general. I'm very much a defensive guy). Trying to go for a "Best show on ice" kind of thing to overwhelm my opponents instead of grinding out wins with a below average goalie. And if I land a great goalie at some point, even better. :) |

But, he's the best I got so he'll be starting. #31 - Joey Perricone Age: 18 Eligability: 2 years left Comments: Decent technical (9-12) with a few questionable mental ratings. He has worse physical attributes (namely agility 6 to 14) than Spence. #34 - Josh Lepp Age: 20 Eligability: None after season Comments: Average technical (8-11), below average mental, below average physical. Starter: Daniel Spence Backup: Joey Perricone |

Moose Jaw Tactics
I will be doing the tactics myself for this season. Kind of like an experiment. Here are the lines Line 1 LW - Masi Marjamaki C - Dustin Boyd RW - Troy Brouwer LD: Greg Park RD: Jacob Henry My veteran line. Tried and true Mentality: Attacking Off.System: Passing Off.Zone: Crash the Net Forecheck: Passive Forecheck Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Normal Pressing: Normal Hitting: Normal Board Battles: Finesse I set Brouwer and Park individually to Board Battles: Power Line 2 LW - Dustin Sather C - Ryan McDonald RW - Micahel Kay LD - Ben Blood RD - Nick Ross My experiment line. Not the 5 "2nd best" players, but close to it. This line is built entirely around speed to overwhelm the defenses. Mentality: Attacking Off.System: Skating Off.Zone: Crash the Net Forecheck: Passive Forecheck Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Normal Pressing: Normal Hitting: Normal Board Battles: Finesse Nick Ross is set to Board Battles: Power Line 3 LW - Dwight King C - Aleksandr Romanovsky RW - Shane Gimas LD Lucas Folk RD Dylan Chapman My lockdown line. These guys are used to wear down the 1st and 2nd lines of the opponents so my team can do their thing. Mentality: Defensive Off.System: Passing Off.Zone: Positional Forecheck: High Forecheck Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Hard Pressing: Hard Hitting: Hard Board Battles: Power With these settings, I expect to take a lot of penalties....but they'll be hurting. We'll see how it goes. Line 4 LW - Jacob Dietrich C - Riley Holzapfel RW - Bryce Macek My leftover line...not a bad leftover line at all. The only problem is there isn't anything they are all good at, so everything is basically set to mixed. Mentality: Normal Off.System: Mixed Off.Zone: Positional Forecheck: Passive Forecheck Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Hard Pressing: Normal Hitting: Normal Board Battles: Finesse Next up, Power Play and Penalty Kill lines |
PP Lines 5v4 and 5v3
Both are the same. Passing and Shooting attributes are the most important. Line 1 LW - Dustin Sather C - Dustin Boyd RW - Masi Marjamaki LD Greg Park RD Jacob Henry Mentality: Attacking Off.System: Passing Off.Zone: Umbrella Forecheck: High Forecheck Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Normal Pressing: Normal Hitting: Normal Board Battles: Finesse Line 2 LW - Dwight King C - Riley Holapfel RW - Troy Brouwer LD Nick Ross RD Ben Blood Mentality: Attacking Off.System: Mixed Off.Zone: Umbrella Forecheck: High Forecheck Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Normal Pressing: Normal Hitting: Normal Board Battles: Finesse PK Lines 4v5 Line 1 It's all about defense. C - Aleksandr Romanovsky RW - Shane Gimas LD Greg Park RD Jacob Henry Mentality: Defensive Off.System: Mixed PK System: Low Press Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Hard Pressing: Normal Hitting: Normal Board Battles: Finesse Line 2 C - Ryan McDonals RW - Dwight King LD Dylan Chapman RD Lucas Folk (Same system as Line 1) PK Lines 3v5 Line 1 C - Aleksandr Romanovsky LD - Greg Park RD Jordan Henry (Same system as Line 1 PK 4v5) Line 2 C Ryan McDonald LD Dylan Chapman RD Lucas Folk (Same System as Line 1 PK 4v5) Even Strength 4v4 Lines Line 1 Since 4v4 presents a good open ice situation, I base these two lines around speed and stickhandling. C - Dustin Boyd RW - Dustin Sather LD Greg Park RD Jordan Henry Mentality: Attacking Off.System: Passing Off.Zone: Positional Forecheck: Passive Forecheck Defense: Zonal Backchecking: Hard Pressing: Normal Hitting: Normal Board Battles: Finesse Line 2 C - Ryan McDonald RW - Troy Brouwer LD Ben Blood RD Lucas Folk (Same as Line 1) |
Sept 24, 2005
Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Saskatoon 4 Moose Jaw 3 (2-2,2-1,0-0) 3rd Star Troy Brouwer (1G) After this game, I realized I forgot to set team orders. I set Line Matchup to: 1v3,2v2,3v1,4v4. Captians: Dustin Boyd. Alt. Captians: Masi Marjamaki and Greg Park Greg Park is out for 2 weeks with an ACL Sprain. Lucas Folk is taking his place in his lines and Travis Ehrhardt is dressed and in Folk's lines. Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 3 Saskatoon 4 (1-1,2-3,0-0) 1st Star: Dwight King (1G,2A) Dwight King scored 1 goal on his own, and the two other goals were deflections off of his shots. Great game by King. I'm proud of my team from being within 1 goal in back to back games with one of the best teams in the WHL. Terrible News: Troy Brouwer is gone for 3 months due to a partially torn MCL. Shane Gimas will be moved to line 1 and will take over Brouwer's line positions. Daniel Hill will come in to replace Gimas at his positions. Hill is a good defensive forward so he'll fit well in the 3rd line. Oct 2, 2005 Moose Jaw 3 Lethbridge 5 (1-0,2-1,0-4) We completely collapsed in the 3rd period. |
Oct 5, 2005
Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 4 Red Deer 5 (1-1,1-1,2-3) 1st Star: Shane Gimas (2G) Gave up a goal with 17 seconds left... Oct 9, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 6 Regina 4 (2-2,1-1,3-1) 2nd Star: Masi Marjamaki (1G,2A) We finally get a win.

We're 1-7. |
Oct 16, 2005
Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Regina 5 Moose Jaw 5 (2-3,2-2,1-0,0-0) 1st Star: Masi Marjamaki (2G,1A) We were 5/7 on the Power Play. (0/1 on Penalty Kill) Oct 18, 2005 NHL Moose Jaw Player News Kyle Brodziack was released by the Capitals today. Oct 20, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Kelowna 7 Moose Jaw 1 (3-0,2-0,2-1) 3rd Star: Shane Gimas (1G) Even though Kelowna is one of the best teams...this one hurt. Oct 22, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Prince George 5 Moose Jaw 2 (3-0,2-1,0-1) Oct 23, 2005 Before the next game, i changed some of my tactics 1st Line: Passing -> Mixed All PK lines: Low Press -> Tight Box And several player's individual tactics for Hitting and Pressure Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Vancouver 2 Moose Jaw 2 (1-1,1-0,0-1,0-0) 1st Star: Shane Gimas (1G,1A) 2nd Star: Dwight King (1G,1A) A tie against one of the league's better teams. We went 3/3 on the PK. Gimas and King are quickly becoming stars on my team. Oct 24, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Kamloops 3 Moose Jaw 1 (1-0,1-1,1-0) 3 games in 2 days tired a lot of my players out. I would have benched some of them, but too many were <90%. We lost, but 2/3 on the PK. It looks like we have our PK under control as we were by far the worst team on PK. |
Oct 29, 2005
Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 3 Kootenay 4 (0-2,1-1,2-0,0-1) Another OT lose. Dustin Boyd has failed to score a single goal so far this season (28 shots). He does have 12 assists though. That seems to be my biggest problem now as a team. Either my guys simple can't score or are not taking smart shots. We have the worst shooting percentage in the league, 8.94%. The next team, Prince George, is at 9.72%, Brandon has 9.78% and every other team is over 10%. Our other bad stat is PK, but we've been bring that up slowly (2/2 in the last game) so I don't think it will be bad for long. We just need to find a way to put the puck in the net. Oct 30, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Prince Albert 5 Moose Jaw 2 (1-0,4-0,0-2) 2nd Star: Nick Ross (1G) 3rd Star: Riley Holzapfel (2A) 5/6 on the PK, good, good.....0/7 on the PP, ugh... Nov 1, 2005 Board Update Despite the horrible start, the board is still satisfied. Ok. I wouldn't but I'm glad they are. |
Nov 3, 2005
Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Saskatoon 7 Moose Jaw 2 (5-1,1-1,0-0) Spence is being replaced for a bit. I'm going to rotate Perricone and Lepp in the next several games. Nov 6, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 4 Portland 3 (2-2,0-0,2-1) 1st Star: Dustin Sather (1G,1A) 2nd Star: Lucas Folk (2G) Finally, a win. Our record: 2-11-2-2 Nov 10, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 4 Everett 5 (1-0,1-2,2-2,0-1) OT lose. Boyd finally scores a goal. |
A Look At The Team - 18 Games In
Who am I happy with Dwight King - AvR 7.78 (highest on the team) 7 goals and 9 assists (16 points) in 18 games. He's one of the players I got in the Kenndal McArdle deal with Lethbridge (as was Daniel Spence who I'll get to later). He's been doing great for me and at 16 years old (4 years left), he's only going to get better. Riley Holzapfel - AvR 7.76 (2nd best on team) 4 goals and 8 assists (12 points) in 17 games. 4th line center (12:47 Ave. Time on Ice (ATOI)). 16.7% Shoot Percentage. He helps make my 4th line a threat. Masi Marjamaki - AvR 7.72 7 goals and 10 assists (17 points) in 18 games. Would probably have better stats if Boyd would pick up his game. Who Am I So-So on Shane Gimas - AvR 7.61 7 goals and 7 assists (14 points) in 18 games. Again, would have better stats if Boyd picked up his game, but when I was looking at Gimas, something jumped out at me. 13 giveaways, only 3 takeaways. As a comparison, Marjamaki only has 2 giveaways (only 1 TA though...). And Boyd is 6-2 GA-TA. Gimas has to stop turning the puck over. Dustin Boyd - AvR 7.67 1 goal and 13 assists (14 points) in 18 games. 2.6% Shoot percentage. If he starts scoring, we start winning. Who is in the Dog House Ben Blood and Nick Ross (7.00 and 7.12 AvR respectively) I mention them in the same breathe because my problem with them is the same. +/-. Specifically, Ben Blood is -16 (in 17 games) and Nick Ross is -17 (in 18 games). How much is the goalie and how much is the defensive line? Ross and Blood are on the same D lines and they can't seem to stop anyone. Daniel Spence .858 Save %, 4.91 GAA. He's not ready for primetime. I thought he was, he isn't. Lepp and Perricone go into rotation. Daniel Hill - 7.19 AvR 3 points in 18 games, 41 PIM (high because of a game misconduct for fighting, which accounts for 15 PIM itself. Ben Blood is second with 25 PIM). For being on a line that's all about defense, his takeaway performance is pathetic (only 1 takeaway) The Silver Lining Troy Brouwer comes back from injury soon. He'll take back his spot on the first line and Gimas will go back to line 3, knocking Hill out of the lineup. My two backup defensmen, Trebish and Ehrhardt have been doing good in their games. In the next few games, I am pulling Blood and Ross out and sticking these two guys in to see how they do. I bring up Andre Herman for now to replace Daniel Hill. |
Nov 11, 2005
Moose Jaw Injury Ehrhardt is gone for 2 weeks with a rotator cuff injury. Aleksandr Romanovsky is also gone for 2 weeks. I set tactics to use just the top 3 off. lines. Nov 13, 2005 Moose Jaw 5 Regina 3 (1-1,2-1,2-1) 1st Star: Dustin Boyd (3G - HAT TRICK!) 2nd Star: Dwight King (1G) What a way for Boyd to come out of his slump! A good win, but Regina isn't exaclty the bar we should be aiming for. Let's hope this is a sign of things to come, though. Nov 14, 2005 Moose Jaw Trade Kelowna gets: Cole Simpson (age: 19) Moose Jaw gets: 2006 4th Round pick. Simpson is old and has no chance of breaking into my lineup. Might as well grab a pick since the player they were originally offering me was terrible. Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Saskatoon 7 Moose Jaw 1 (6-1,1-0,0-0) Lepp goes 9-15 in the first 15 minutes. I warned him due to his poor performance and he feels it was too harsh. What?! You let up a goal every two minutes and feel a warning is too harsh!? Perricone comes in and stops the bleeding. Terrible... Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 1 Brandon 7 (1-1,0-4,0-2) ..... Nov 17, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Calgary 3 Moose Jaw 3 (1-1,1-0,1-2,0-0) 2nd Star: Dustin Sather (1G,1A) 3rd Star: Dustin Boyd (1G) Nov 19, 2005 Moose Jaw Injury Ryan McDonald is gone for 10 games with a twisted knee suffered in practice. Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 4 Swift Current 2 (1-1,1-1,2-0) 1st Star: Dustin Boyd (1G) 2nd Star: Ben Blood (1G,1A) 3rd Star: Lucas Folk (2A) I bring back Brouwer before he was really ready since my team is getting battered badly. Speaking of injuries, Marjamaki is gone for a week with a twisted knee. |
Nov 20, 2005
Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Red Deer 5 Moose Jaw 2 (2-0,2-2,1-0) A much needed break. Our next game is on the 26th. Nov 26, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Calgary 7 Moose Jaw 3 (3-1,2-1,2-1) 3rd Star: Riley Holzapfel (1G,2A) Romanovsky is injured again. Out for 3 weeks now. Since he was one of the major components of my "1 line, 1 purpose" type of tactic set up, I now leave it in the hands of my head coach. I now let him decide selections, lines and tactics as my lineup has been damaged to hell. I can't keep my line purposes up now as I am just filling holes where I can... Nov 28, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 3 Medicine Hat 1 (1-0,1-0,1-1) 1st Star: Nick Ross (1G,1A) 2nd Star: Josh Lepp (22-23 Saves) 3rd Star: Mais Marjamaki (1G) Dec 1, 2005 Moose Jaw Regular Season Game Moose Jaw 4 Tri-City 3 (1-1,2-1,1-1) 1st Star: Lucas Folk (1G) 2ns Star: Ben Blood (1G,1A) Huh...

Medicine Hat 4 Moose Jaw 6 (0-1,2-3,2-2) 1st Star: Troy Brouwer (2G) 3rd Star: Masi Marjamaki (1G,1A) Good to have Brouwer back. Well, my venture into doing the lines and tactics is now over. Time to go back at just being the GM. Dec 5, 2005 Lethbridge 2 Moose Jaw 5 (0-4,1-1,1-0) 1st Star: Aleksandr Romanovsky (1G,2A) 2nd Star: Riley Holzapfel (1G,1A) 3rd Star: Nick Ross (2A) |

When we last left our heroes
We were in 4th place in the divisio, but since Regina was doing so bad, we were practically assured a playoff spot. At the end of the season, we were still 4th and in the playoffs. We finished 27-30-10 with 5 OTL and 69 points which was slightly better than the 2004-2005 season.(24-34-11 and 3 OTL and 62 points) We actually pull out a series win by upsetting Saskatoon in 6 games. We then went on and lost in the next round. Masi Marjamaki was once again named Player of the Year of rmoose Jaw by their fans. Since then, I have cut or traded some players and both Masi Marjamaki and Troy Brouwer have left for the NHL. My team looks somewhat different now. Here's what has happened. Update on the progress of my Kendell McArdle trade from 2 years ago G Danial Spence - Traded to Red Deer. In return, I got the rights (and eventually signed) a 15 year old LW named Kyle Bournazakis. He has "meh" athletic and mental ratings, but he already is rated 14 in passing and 15 in stickhandling. The rest of his technical skills are decent. If I can make him more physically talented, he could become a great player in terms of getting the puck to the goal scorers. LW/RW Michael Kaye - Traded to Prince Albert for their 2007 4th Round pick. PA liked Kaye enough to give a 4th rounder, but not enough to give a 2nd rounder. On paper, he should be a solid 2nd liner by now, but he's just not performing on my team. Bad training camp and uninspiring play in the exhibitions got him shipped out. Got tired of waiting for him to come around. LW/RW Dwight King (Rights to, signed shortly after) - He is turning into a monster and still has 3 years (17 years old) of eligability left. Hell, in the end he might turn out to be worth the trade for McArdle by himself, let alone the 5 other things (2 players, 3 draft picks) that I got along with him. Technical skillwise, he's probably one of the, if not the, best defensive forward in the league. He just has to show it on the ice now. (18 Pokecheck, 17 Hitting, 12 Checking). And the rest of his technical skills are 10 or higher (9 for face offs, but he doesn't take face offs). And then there's only 3 attributes that are 10-11. Most of his skills are at 12. And he still has 3 years to go. 2005 Round 1 Pick - (#4 Overall) - Picked LW Kevin Norton. A 16 year old. Good physical, pretty good Mental, below average Technical. He's signed but his camp just wasn't good enough to get a spot on the roster. He's on the farm team, Pilot Butte, for now. 2006 - Round 1 Pick - (#1 Overall) - C/RW Colin Swanson. 15 years old. This guy is a phenom just wating to happen. His attributes already look good enough to start on my team. Ashame I'm not allowed to sign him yet. I can't even imagine what he'll be like once I can sign him and start training him. He could, by himself, be worth the trade alone. 2006 - Round 6 Pick - (#101 Overall) - RW/C Paul Miller. 15 years old. Another good player. Good physical, good mental, decent, but not great, technical. He's a physical player (13 strength, 11 Aggression, 14 Hitting). Other than hitting his technical skills do need improvement. If he does improve, I can see him as a 2-3 liner in 2 years. And that's how the McArdle trade has turned out for me. I guess technically speaking, I need to see who I get in the 4th round next year with the pick I got from Prince Albert for Michael Kaye before I can finalize how well this trade turned out for me (and see how all of the young players develope). All in all, for a player who would be off my team and in the NHL now, I have to say it's turned out well for me. I can honestly see my team being a serious contender in 2 years and remain that way for at least a couple of years, thanks in large part to this trade. |
2006 WHL Bantam Draft - Moose Jaw

They kept trying to get the rights to my second pick, Luke Taylor, in a package deal with other players and picks. No matter what combination of players and picks I tried to give to Kelowna, they always counter proposed with the right to Luke Taylor. In the end, overall, I think they were just asking too much. He ended up going to Medicine Hat. In other trades, teams tried to get the right to my 3rd pick, John MacIntyre, as well. Something tells me my top 3 picks will be great, great players. |
2006 Roster
Goalies G Paul Barclay - Decent goalie. Probably will be back up. G Sam Harris - 16 years old. Might turn out decent, but doesn't look ready for the big show yet. G Joey Perricone - 19 years old. He's been the starter since I took over and will continue being the starter this year. Decent and solid. Usually has a few really bad games a year, but for the most part, doesn't get killed like some of my other goalies over the last 2 seasons. Defensemen LD Dylan Chapman - 19 yo - Doesn't get on the offensive stats board (won't socre and doesn't assist oftan), but he's aggressive and hard hitting. He'll punish you. LD Chad Gladue - 15 yo - Barely made the squad. Will not play much. Might be regularly swapped with defensemen on contract who are on the Pilot Butte squad. LD Nick Ross - 17 yo - Good physical and mental. Still needs work on his technical skills. RD/LD Kevin Reinholt - 19 yo - Decent all around defenseman. RD/LD Yakov Seleznev - 17 yo (FGN) - Drafted this year in the Import Draft. A big guy at 6'4" (second tallest to Dylan Champman, 6'5"). Strong, hard hitting and good at the pokecheck. A good defensman. RD Jock Sutter - 18 yo - Average all around. RD Taylor Sceinson - 16 yo - Decent physical, good mental, average technical with good slapshot and positioning. Forwards LW Kyle Bournazakis - 15 yo - Low physical and moental, average technical with damn good passing and stickhandling. As with Gladue, will probably send down to pilot Butte occasionally. LW/RW Dwight King - 17 yo - He's becoming a stud. Could still use some improvement on the physical side, but he's a very good defensive forward. LW/RW Garrett Robinson - 18 yo - Average all around, but did good in camp and in the exhibition games LW/C Dustin Sather - 20 yo (OVR) - Good physical, good mental, average technical. LW Brendan Sobchuck - 18 yo - Average all around with good determination C Dustin Boyd - 20 yo (OVR) - Good all round center. Not great at anything, but not below good at anything either. C Riley Holzapfel - 18 yo - Decent overall. A slightly less talented version of Dustin Boyd. C/RW Michael Kay - 18 yo - (Note: Not to be confused with Michael Kaye), Good physical, good mental, decent technicals. C Tom Lemay - 16 yo - Decent overall, but is bad on faceoffs. Will try to train him for a wing position. C Ryan McDonald - 18 yo - Good overall. Another slightly less talented version of Dustin Boyd C Aleksandr Romanovsky - 19 yo (FGN) - decent physical and mentals, good tehcnials with a few pretty good (Pokecheck 18, Faceoffs 15, Deflections 14) RW/C Dan Gendur - 19 yo - Decent overall RW/LW Shane Gimas - 19 yo - Defensive forward, moderately aggressive. RW/LW Craig Jones - 16 yo - This guy is strange. He's got really physical attributes, REALLY good mental attributes....and then he has a few very high technical attributes (Pokecheck 14, Positioning 13, Stickhandling 20 !!) and then the rest of his technical skills are rated between 3 to 6. 3 to 6? Yup, 3-6. But, he's been doing good. Good exhibitions, good camp. Time will tell how he develops. RW Mitrch Kelly - 17 yo - decent physical and mentals, average technicals. Good on the faceoff. Maybe will try to teach C. |

Beginning of December
Well, it's December 3rd now... We got off to a really good start, but then went into a nose dive. We only won 2 games in November, and tied just once. Code:

Beginning of January 2007
We reboudned nicely this month, getting back to a .500 record. Dustin Boyd even won WHL player of the week on Dec. 24th. Code:

Beginning of February 2007
Lose a few more than won, but still have a .480 record and are 8 points ahead of 5th place Brandon. Doesn't look like he have a chance at winning the division or 2nd place, but we do have the division's best PP% and PK%. If we keep up the good special teams, that could be the deciding factor for making the playoffs. Code:

Beginning of March 2007
With the final game of the month, we clinch a spot in the playoffs. Now, it's just a matter of seeding. Brandon really collapsed this month and made it easy for me and Regina to clinch spots. Code:

Disaster Strikes
Joey Perricone will be out for 2 months after suffering a dislocated shoulder on March 4th. This means 1) Paul Barclay, an inconsistent and unreliable goalie, will have to carry the weight, mainly because 2) Sam Harris is not good. He's just nto ready and was getting destroyed in the preseason. And one last thing, I have no rights to any goalies worth a damn. Except the one I drafted last year, but that doesn't matter since I can't sign him yet. And so our season practically ends. |
