Cam Lanigan
Earlier I had him on my list of former Tigers who were invited to NHL Camps, but took him off because I didn't see confirmation. Well Detroit released their prospect roster today, and Cam Lanigan is on their Traverse City Tournament list, getting called on for an amateur tryout, so Good Luck to him!!

The arena is on schedule to be ready for the first home game of the regular season, however the exhibition game against Swift Current will be played in the Kinplex.

Looking at the twitter feeds quite a few of the vets used Monday as a travel day to get back to Medicine Hat. The Tigers season gets underway in Lethbridge in exactly one month of this post.

Medicine Hat Mavericks

Just wanted to give a shout-out to the Medicine Hat Mavericks. They had one heck of a season!

They lost in the Championship Finals with a 4-1 game 4 Loss to the Melville Millionaires.
Melville Took the Series 3-1.

The only 2 times these teams met in the regular season the Mavs won 12-4, and 11-6

The Mavs had a standout season posting the best ever record in the WMBL going 39-7 in the Regular Season and a 7-3 record in the playoffs. They never lost more than 1 game in a row until they met Melville in the playoffs.

Grant Silva set a new wmbl record with 37 stolen bases.

Congratulations on a Very Good Season!
