Alex plante of the Hitmen Demands Trade

The jist of it is....Plante had an injury plagued season last year, and after finally becoming healthy, he was put on the third defensive pairing, and was unhappy about his playing time, and performance. He did not report to Calgary's Main camp, and has asked to be traded. HE only recorded 1 goal and 1 assist last year, while the year previous he had 8 goals and 30 assists. With Kisio sorta lashing out at him in a recent article in the calgary herald, one has got to wonder if they didn't get along very well.

Plante being a 19 yr old Defender probably has some good trade value to him. I dont see him going to a Central Division Team, unless someone pays waaaaay to high a price.

The only "vets" so to say that were dressed were Frazee, Stampohar and Konan, Last years depth/4th liners. Holfeld was dressed but did not play. TO see that many rookies and to not get blown out of the water is very encouraging.

Tigers Open up Main Camp

Yes the two Euro's Tomas Kundratek and Zdenek Okal both showed up to camp. However their is still an issue with getting Kundratek's transfer card, so he cannot skate with the team, even in practice until the tigers receive it.

Tiger Alumni, Tommy Maxwell, Stefan Myer, David Schlemko, were all seen on the ice during the practice sessions.

Tigers make trade with Spokane

The Spokane Chiefs have traded defenseman Jace Coyle to the Medicine Hat Tigers in exchange for a fifth round selection in the 2009 WHL Bantam draft and third round selection in 2010.

“It is real tough moving a player of Jace’s caliber but at the same time we have the potential to return all eight defenseman next year as well as young list players who are ready to compete for a defensive spot,” Chiefs General Manager Tim Speltz said. “We thank Jace for his contributions and wish him all the best.”

The 18-year-old appeared in 52 games as a rookie last year with one goal, nine points and was +8.
-taken from www.whl.ca

This move puts the tigers at 8 Defenceman

Tomas Kundratek
Jordan Bendfeld
Jace Coyle
CodyCarlson
Mathew Konan
mark Isherwood
Patrick kozyra
Sean Brown.

Is this a depth move? Or is something else in the works. Or possibly both! We now have 8 guys that can play.

THis is making me anxious for the season to start.

Not much in the way of tiger news lately.
Tigers prospect Dylan Olsen was apparently sent home From Canada's under 18 tryouts with a case of mono. I don't believe he has yet to make a decision as to where he wants to play next year. Or if he has it isn't public knowledge.
