Sunday News and Notes

USHL's photographer, Robert J. Meyer, has his own blog. He should be getting around to getting some more entries in the near future, so be sure to keep checking it out.

Paul Stastny for Calder? That doesn't sound right, but this former Lancer has been flying under the radar and under all the hype of Evgeni Malkin. Right now, Stastny trails Malkin by only 7 points (Stastny 2 points today). Now, most people have already placed Malkin's name on the award, but Stastny definitely deserves a lot of attention and he's not getting that. He's an awesome player and has already set a record for most points by a rookie for the Avalanche. This kid deserves my recognition for what he's done for himself and what he's done to help keep the Avs in the playoff race.

2006-07 Lowe's Senior Award narrows its choices down. Nate Raduns (River City) and Jeff Jakaitis (Waterloo) have made the cut.

Former Lancer, Nate Gerbe, has been named Hockey East Player of the Month for February.

Sioux City's Sean Coffey visits a child in Boston.

USHL has a very awesome looking page on wikipedia. The person who created this page did an excellent job. Check out the individual team pages, and if you're a fan of the team, try and add a little to it.

Lastly, Ohio picked up a win on the road in Tri-City. This marks the 2nd win on the road vs the West for the Junior Blue Jackets. Ohio was outshot 45-15.

Former Lancer, Justin Johnson, has been picked up by the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL.

Whats even funnier than the win on 15 shots (against Rock), is that the only shot on goal in the first period resulted in a goal.

I was on the Ohio Bench charting shots. Whoever charts the shots there should be removed. You are doing more harm to actual shots not counted for their stats and hurting your own goalies save pct. We charted 7 shots in the first, 11 shots in the second and 6 shots in the third for a total of 24 shots. Even the refs were chuckling when it was brought up to them after the first period. I am curious if this is coming from the Storm head coach, to promote his defense?? Who knows, who cares but don't cheat the kids.

What ever happenend to Ben Hanowski to play for Omaha?

I believe Hanowski is a futures pick for Omaha, so he could be there next year or the year after.

TriCity has always been "very conservative" when it comes to counting the visiting teams shots. If I was a goalie there I would be pissed.

I did think it was strange to only have one shot on goal.
