So, they're going to have the ICE get on a bus to Regina and cross the Prairies during a raging blizzard? How does that make sense? Is the league commissioner from Edmonton, looking to give his Oil Kings a better chance?

The Ice went 53-10-5 in finishing first overall this year — earning the second overall ranking in the Canadian Hockey League.

The Ice is not an easy team to match up against. The squad is big and strong down the middle, with the likes of high-end draft prospect Conor Geekie (6-foot-4, 24 G, 70 P), 6-foot-6 giant Jack Finley (27 G, 50 P) and Cole Muir (6-foot-3, 11 G, 32 P).

They’ve got nine capable defencemen on the roster and can only dress six, and they have Hauser and Anaheim Ducks draft pick Gage Alexander to rely on in net.

To add to this they have 2 likely top 10 picks in this years' draft in Savoie and Geekie. Carson Lambos who was a 1st rounder and Finlay who was a second rounder. Benson is projected as a top 10 pick on some lists next year. You got Mikey Milne tossing up almost 40 goals after not getting drafted last year. I'd be pumped if the Jets jumped on him as an overager.

“Since Christmas we’ve really been focusing on defending first and playing a style of hockey that will give us success at this time of year. That’s what it took tonight and we bought in really well.”

“We knew how we had to play and we’ve been reviewing all week. We came out the right way and ultimately we came out with the victory.”

ICE played probably their worst game of the season, so we’ll get game 5 on Friday. Side note: I ordered the WHL Network and by god, the commentary is horrible. You always get the home team feed, makes me have a new found respect for tools like Louie DeSuck and Cassie Campbell when the commentators are constantly bitching about the refs being against Prince Albert.
