Now that the dust has settled from the Saskatchewan Roughriders' thrilling run to the Grey Cup championship, it's time for the Regina Pats to move to the front of the sports pages and top of the local sportscasts. The Pats host the Medicine Hat Tigers tonight at the Brandt Centre. I'll be teaming up with Randy Merkely again on the tv (Access) broadcast.
The Pats go into the game with a record of 18-11 on the year. That's not great, but certainly not bad either! Regina sits in top spot in the WHL's east division, and in third place in the eastern conference. The Pats have also been terrific on home ice, with a record of 11-3 at the Brandt Centre.
20-year old forward Troy Ofukany will sit out tonight, and tomorrow night when the Pats host Kootenay, as he serves a team-imposed suspension. That's the second time in less than a month that Ofukany has been sidelined because of his actions off the ice. That's not exactly the veteran leadership the club needs or wants from a 20-year old.
