Monday Afternoon Update

Tbirds lost in Portland on Friday night and then came back to win Saturday night down in Kent to finish the exhibition season.

Before the game the Tbirds announced the acquisition of 17 year old forward Jonathan Parker from Solana Beach, CA from the Vancouver Giants. I would suspect that a player being acquired at this late in "training camp" will make the roster, but I don't know that for a fact. Story on the last exhibition game and the trade can be found here.

Seattle... like a lot of teams have several players who are off to NHL camps right now or will be leaving very soon so I would not expect Seattle to have what figured to be their full roster when they begin the season in Prince George on Friday night.

I know that this ends up being true almost each season... but it is amazing to look at the roster and realize how many players turn over from year to year. Seattle will have a lot of new faces when they drop the puck on Friday and the fans will certainly need a program when the Birds open the home season on October 4th.

Tbirds also announced today that they will be unveiling a new website in the near future. We will all wait to see what that looks like....

The WHL website has posted a conference preview.... it can be found here.
