I found a really interesting Blog article from a guy who "rides planes and talks to strangers"
His last topic of conversation was about the Medicine Hat Tigers. Apparently this guy is from Florida, was visiting his daughter and decided to come see what hockey is all about. He managed to talk to Tigers Head Coach Shaun Clouston and shared his thoughts about him on his blog.
You can read his thoughts here. http://www.strangersonaplane.com/ (The good stuff is closer to the bottom of the blog article)

Tigers Defeat Rebels 4-1
I listened to parts of the broadcast from both teams broadcasters.
The Tigers got off to another 2-0 lead and held it for the first period, despite the Rebels pounding 18 shots on net. The rebels scored the only goal in the second period. Then late in the third period the Tigers scored a Key goal and then an empty netter to seal the deal 4-1.
Sounds like Deven Dubyk had another real solid game stopping 36 of 37 shots. He played a huge part getting these 4 points against the rebels this weekend.

Tigers Squeak Out a 2-1 Win
Game Day
Red Deer Rebels 1 @ Medicine Hat Tigers 2
7:00 PM Medicine Hat Arena
Attendance: 4006
Time: 2:14
SOG: 32- 17 Rebels
Game Summary
First Period
I'd give a slight advantage in terms of gameplay to the tigers. They came out storming in the first 10 minutes, then pushed the Rebels back after the Rebels starting really laying out the body. The Tigers managed to score twice early in the game after a pair of Rebel penalties.
On the Power-playLinden Vey took advantage of a rebels Defender who was caught out of position, corralled the puck down low and passed it out to a open Tyler Pitlick in the slot who fired the puck over Darcy Kuemper's shoulder blocker side.
The Tigers would go up 2-0 when Ryan Harrison would take a shot at the top of the faceoff circle. The puck slid up a Rebel Defender's stick and the puck whiffed over Kuemper's right shoulder. Another Power-play Goal.
Second Period
The rebels started taking over the game as the period progressed. The Tigers still managed to get a handful of chances but the rebels started taking longer and longer shifts into the Tigers end. Fortunately the stellar play of Tigers Goaltender Devan Dubyk managed to keep the rebels at bay. The rebelswere using an extremely aggressive forecheck, and the Tigers started panicking, throwing out low percentage passes and couldn't manage to change the flow of the game.
Turner Elson got the Rebels on the board on the powerplay with a pretty tick tack toe passing play, outmannning the Tigers down low. Ryan Nugent Hopkins gathered the puck at his blueline fed it down low to Andrej Kudrna who onetime passed it over to a wide open Turner Elson who tapped it into an empty net. 2-1 Tigers
Third Period
The Third period was all rebels. They controlled the play. Most of their shots appeared to be down low or off deflections and Deven Dubyk who looked like he has grown over last season, played an amazing positional game stopping numerous rebels chances. The rebels couldn't manage to score with a late powerplay, and couldn't penetrate the Tigers zone with their goalie pulled.
The rebels were the much better team tonight. The Tigers came to play for 10 minutes and change. The rebels upped their physical game in the second period and took control of the play, and the Tigers couldn't find a way to respond.
Tigers Thoughts
I thought Tyler Pitlick played an amazing 1st and 2nd period. He was making moves you dont think a kid as big as him can make. In the third I noticed a few plays where it looks like he doesn't completely have the Tigers defensive systems down yet. But still a much improved game over his first game as a Tiger.
Linden Vey. I thought he played a very good game, used his speed and set up a lot of opportunities.
Emerson Etem was still invisible. But starting skating when he had a couple offensive opportunities in the third period.
Vahe Zakaryan - I thought he played real well along the boards in the offensive end during the second period.
Sebastian Owuya - looked slightly overmatched. The rebels were so quick that he couldn't get a good pass off, he was rushing a lot of his passes and that's one part of the game tough to get used to switching from the European game. I thought he was conscious of not getting caught pinching, but the Tigers were missing a physical presence like someone who could get a good hit stepping up at the blueline.
Jace Coyle - It will take him a game or two to get used to junior. He kept swirling back and at the pro level many guys will back off, but the rebels gave him no room and coughed the puck up a few times.
Devan Dubyk - The reason why the Tigers won the game. He played exceptional. I think he has earned another start against the same team, who couldn't quite figure him out.
-------
Coaching - I liked when they used their timeout in the second period. The Tigers had a tired 4th line out against the Ryan-Nugent-Hopkins line.
I disliked that after the rebels pushback in the third period, the Tigers continued to falter. No fights, no big hits no momentum changers. The Tigers started playing smaller than their size suggests.
I didn't noticed the opposite side forward trying to go high to open up neutral zone ice until the last 5 minutes of the period(not sure if it was the players failure to adjust or whatever I didn't like it. (I think today's gametape is a perfect studying opportunity)
I also disliked that lack of physicality on the ice. Two games in a row where the opposition stepped up the physical side of things and started gaining confidence. The Tigers really miss a guy like Kale Kessey.
I did like the defensive coverage at the net. The forwards and the defense did a real good job at clearing away rebounds, and not giving the rebels any easy rebounds.
The rebels were so amazingly quick that it made it really hard for any Tigers defensman to make consistent first passes out of the zone, and when they did the forward who received the pass had limited options and couldn't react fast enough.
Rebel Thoughts
Ryan-Nugent-Hopkins wow. He reminds me a lot like Tyler Ennis except he is a little bigger. It will be interesting to see where he goes in the nhl draft. Will a few inches of size turn a similar caliber player from a late first round pick(Ennis) to an early first round pick?
This kid can play. I only noticed once during the whole game where Tigers forward Reid Petryk managed to pin him with a hit along the boards. Hopkins is pretty slippery, and his puck control is amazing.
I really liked Byron Froese tonight. I watched time after time where he would scoop up loose puck among 2 tiger players, or control the puck along the boards and make make a good pass to a teammate.
WOW Joey Frazer named Assistant Coach
Medicine Hat, AB – Medicine Hat Tigers are pleased to announce this afternoon the hiring of Joey Frazer as the third member of the Tiger’s coaching staff.
Frazer, 20, from Brainerd, MN cleared WHL waivers and became a free agent today. He has taken up the Tiger’s offer to remain with the team in an assistant coach capacity.
“It is a pretty unique opportunity that I was handed, ” said Frazer. “I’m very excited. It’s going to be challenging but I think I’m ready for the challenge. I would like to thank the Masers and the coaching staff for having a lot of faith in me and offering me this job. ”
“It’s been a really crazy week. I go from getting released, which is pretty hard to handle but one door shuts and another door opens. I’m very excited about this. It should be really good and I am looking forward to it, ” stated Frazer.
“We are thrilled Joe has decided to remain a Tiger and join our coaching staff, ” commented Tiger’s head coach Shaun Clouston. “Joe has a tremendous work ethic, a winning attitude and understands the game. ”
“Darren and I are very excited about working together with Joey this season, ” said Clouston.
Frazer will make his coaching debut behind the bench tonight when the Tigers take on the Red Deer Rebels at 7:30 p. m.

That's awesome. This way the tigers get help behind the bench, and they have someone to go on the ice and skate with the team. Extremely happy for that Joey gets to stay with the team. Although I bet its going to be hard for him to see his friends on the ice during gameday.

Frazer on the Block
Well it looks like Joey Frazer's rights still belong to the Tigers so he hasn't been released as of yet. I believe its the right idea to come forth about it now. The Tigers have his rights until October 14th before the overage Waiver draft.
Overagers have generally gone for 5th round picks in the past. Frazer would probably fill a 2nd line scorer type role, (possibly 1st line on a weak team, possibly 3rd on a deep team) as he posses a great deal of speed and has a strong work ethic.
Points wise depends on the situation and line-mates but I think on average he could put up 20-25 goals and good for around 45-50 points.
--------------
http://www.medicinehatnews.com/story/frazer-trade-block
Medicine Hat Tigers general manager Brad McEwen felt it best everyone knows where they stand now, and consequently Joey Frazer is on the trading block.
McEwen announced on Wednesday that the Tigers were attempting to trade Frazer, who is an overage right-winger. The general manager also said the Tigers plans on going with centre and team captain Wacey Hamilton and defencemen Thomas Carr and Jace Coyle as their 20-year-old players.
Major junior teams are only allowed to carry three overage players on their rosters. The Tigers did have a deadline day of Oct. 14 to make the decision on which three overage players they were going to go with.
“He (Frazer) is a kid that can play in the league and is a good player,” said McEwen. “We hope that he gets an opportunity somewhere.
“It felt like this was the way we had to do it. We just felt that we needed to do it now and make that decision.”........

Joey Frazer Released
Chat TV News is apparently reporting that Tiger Forward Joey Frazer has been released by the Medicine Hat Tigers. Joey Frazer had improved tremendously during the last half of last season, and is an unfortunate victim in the 20 year old numbers game.
Their are an abundance of overager's still in the league this year.

Jace Coyle sent back to the Hat
Returned to his junior team:
D Jace Coyle (Medicine Hat Tigers)
http://stars.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=538677
Tristan King was sent to the Texas Stars (AHL)
Nice to get everyone expected back. Unfortuantely It leaves the Tigers with 4 overagers. Looks like Joey Frazer may be the odd man out. As Hamilton, and Coyle are locks, and getting rid of Carr would mean a lack of defensman.
I believe Everett, Kamloops, and Regina are under the 20 yr old cap. But there are still quite a few teams with more than 3 overagers some pretty good ones still out there.
--------------
I also found a fight video of Cole Grbavac who layed a licking against St. Louis Blues prospect Philip McRae during the Traverse City Prospects Tournament

Tigers lose Opener 3-1 to Lethbridge
The Tigers started the game out flying. They controlled the first 20-30 minutes of the hockey game by a wide margin. The shots read somewhere along 18-3 at one point and Lethbridge looked really flat, despite being ahead by a goal.
The Hurricanes got a key break when Austin Fyten threw a bad angle shot from the corner of the rink and it slid in between Tyler Bunz' shoulder and the post.
Momentum Change
Lethbridge made a change to their gameplan in the second half of the second period. They started sending their forwards up high, and they managed to generate a handful of odd man rushes, breakaways and opened up the neutral zone.
The Tigers had been dominating the game up to this point and a pair of goals 13 seconds apart ripped the game open and changed the momentum a complete 180 for the rest of the second period.
In the third the Tigers manage to battle back, finally cracking the impenetrable force-field around Canes goalie Dylan Tait. He lost sight of the puck after a save and Wacey Hamilton came charging in to score the first goal of the season, short-handed nonetheless.
---------------------
Game Thoughts
At the beginning of the game when I saw Thomas Carr step on to the Ice with an "A" I knew Wacey Hamilton would be dressed. It was a very pleasant surprise that he will be back this season. (Carr was captain during pre-season)
I thought the Tigers were very good at picking up loose pucks in the neutral zone and forcing turnovers. They had numerous chances to score but the Hurricanes goalie played very well. Excellent positioning and came out and challenged the shooters. Not to mention an incredible glove save when he was down and out.
I thought the Tigers looked unorganized when attacking in the third period. They looked like a team who were frustrated and started trying to play individually. The canes Defense played a collapsing style, didn't give up many odd man rushes, and they didn't give up many rebounds.
Lethbridge got a lot of offensive chances off turnovers when the Tigers were in the offensive end. (Blocked shots and sending in forwards up high)
Player Thoughts
Hunter Shinkaruk skating style reminds of Stefan Myer(not as big), I thought he looked pretty good for a 16 year old.
Tyler Pitlick looked a little hesitant. He hasn't spent very much time with the Tigers and he looked like a player that was just traded here. He was challenged to a fight but declined and his confidence looked shaky after that.
Kale Kessey must be injured. I beleive he missed the last couple exhibition games but never heard anything about it.
Reid Petryk looked very much improved with his puck handling skills.
Patrik Parkkonen has pretty good hockey sense, and despite his size plays alright in the corners. However he took a penalty trying to regain body positioning on a Canes forward. His hand I think came off his stick otherwise it was a good play.
Curtis Valk didn't play much but there was one move where I was blown away. He was coming into the offensive zone and had a player swing behind him. He did a little dip pretending to do a drop pass then rifled a shot on net.
Emerson Etem was invisible out there.
Mathew Konan looked very speedy. He caught up to 2 Canes forward on clear cut breakaways.
Sebastien Owuya made a daring play that cost him. He tried to level Hurricanes Jacob Berglund when he was the last man back, but only caught a piece of him. Berglund put a nice move ON Bunz and put one in off the crossbar.He also made a nice rush up the ice. Showed some soft hands and was able to get back pretty quickly.
Wacey Hamilton was targeted every-time he touched the puck. The Hurricanes didn't let him skate the puck through the neutral zone and had a couple guys on him pretty quick.
Wacey Hamilton fought Austin Fyten. Was a very scrambly fight both players fell down pretty early.
Give the Tigers a bit of Time. They are missing Jace Coyle on the back-end a lot, and still need some time to gel offensively. Once their forwards start clicking, get their powerplay going, and are a little more mindful of giving up odd man rushes, they'll be fine.
------------------
Jace Coyle
In Other News Apparently Jace Coyle looked good in preseason action with the Dallas Stars. He recorded an assist, a +1 and logged the 4th most minutes on Dallas. I'm Guessing that Dallas will send him back to the Hat Tomorrow after giving him a taste of nhl action. Coyle was also a game starter.
--------------------------
Lethbridge
I focused mostly on Tigers players getting to know their styles, but here is a few things off memory.
Obviously their goalie Dylan Tait looked pretty good. Like I mentioned above, Excellent positioning, challenged the shooters, and came out to the white ice. Their were a bundle of deflections that he managed to snag by being close to the shooter and the puck hitting him in the body.
In the second period Cam Braes looked like he had quite the wrist shot. He rifled one on net and Tyler Bunz managed to get a tiny piece of it as his shot rang off the crossbar and out of play. Mike Reddington stood out on the blueline, he did a good job at clearing away rebounds and boxing out Tigers forwards. Austin Fyten always seemed to be involved in a few scrums or yapping at tigers players.
I noticed a couple plays where Cane defender Daniel Johnston made an unforced error giving the puck away hearing footsteps but I think almost all Hurricane defenders made unforced errors in the first period.

Tigers Trade 1 and Cut 1
The Regina Pats are proud to announce the acquisition of 17-year-old forward Trent Ouellette from the Medicine Hat Tigers in exchange for a conditional bantam draft pick.
www.whl.ca says the pick is a 7th round 2012 draft pick
Regina Pats General Manager Chad Lang: “We like the fact that Trent is young and fills a void in the 1993 age group. He skates well with an offensive upside and gives us a little more depth down the middle.”
