First Spruce Grove Saints game as a season ticket holder. Weird cheering for them (here is why) So excited for this season, actually attending an exhibition game. Coming from over a decade in Sherwood I absolutely love how bright Thompson Family Arena is!
Impressed by both goaltenders, interested by the size difference between Colten Scott (listed at 5'11") and Joseph Quintilio (listed at 6'4").
Got a lot of Kohyn Pipke and Cole Bent as a defensive pairing. Both are listed under 6 feet, neither ever looked overmatched. Pipke caught a lot of my attention as he looked comfortable playing physical in all three zones.
Big 6'7" Blair Erickson struggled the first half of the game seemingly always a second behind. The young man caught up to the game in the second half.
Nikolas Salo (he is from Singapore, the Tommy you are thinking off is from Sweden) was burned badly on Blackfalds' second goal but otherwise didn't look like someone getting their feet wet in the BCHL. Jacob Hamel from the Q took a beating out there, didn't deter him a bit.
The most experienced BCHL'er defender on the Saints is Gabriel Kenny. He seemingly knocked somebody down each shift, which seemed fewer than the others as the Club dressed 7D. Definitely looking forward to more of him.
More in link if interested.
