Blades Start off on the right skate.

The Saskatoon Blades opened the 2016-2017 WHL season on the road VS Swift Current Broncos. Dean Brockman made his WHL coaching debut. 

Saskatoon scored the first goal of the game. They would not look back. The line of Mason McCarty,Jesse Shynkaruk and Brylon Shmyr was on fire tonight. 

Newcomers Josh Bruce and Michael Farren contributed offensively as well. 

Logan Flodell was the starting goalie for the visitors. He shut the door on the Broncos.

The final score was 5-1 for the visiting Blades. The rematch goes Sunday afternoon in Saskatoon. The Blades will pay tribute to Mr.Hockey. 

Let's start the season!!

The Saskatoon Blades have made a pair of moves prior to the season. I also picked up my season tickets and it came with a sweet hat. See everyone at the rink on Sunday! Go Blades Go.

Time to update this blog

I finally decided to start blogging again. The Saskatoon Blades have made big changes since my last blog entry. New owners. New head coach and GM as well. The team has not made the playoffs in awhile. Fans including myself are hoping this season will be different.

The team has produced a winning record in the pre season. Most recently defeating the Edmonton Oil Kings last night 5-4.

I am excited for the season to start Sept 23rd. The home opener goes Sunday Sept 25th with a tribute to Geordie Howe. It should be a great display.

Go Blades Go. Stay locked here for my own reports and opinions on the Blades this season.

Let's start the season already

I am sure every WHL fan in Saskatoon is anxiously awaiting the start of the season I am very excited. training camp gets started on August 31. The blades will play two exhibition games against Prince Albert and two exhibition games against Regina before the regular season starts on September 21.
