    • The Rundown - Week 4
    It's had to believe that some teams will have played more than one-quarter of their seasons after this week, but that's how Canada West hockey works. With the UBC Thunderbirds taking a week off to prepare for next week's games, the remaining eight teams trying to hunt down the conference leaders were in action as games were played in three of the four provinces. We even had Calgary and Alberta tan...2025

    If you follow this blog, you know that I'm critical of Canada West and its nine member schools that participate in hockey when it comes to them being relevant in the hockey world. Let's be honest - they're not. No one talks about scouting Canada West for players they can sign, and it seems pretty obvious that only the best of the best are playing hockey at the professional level once their U SPORT...2025
