Duplicate the effort.
While the Lethbridge Hurricanes have their sights on tonight’s Western Hockey League showdown with the Kamloops Blazers at 7 p.m. at the Enmax Centre, a few past references can’t hurt either.
Most recently, the Hurricanes 3-2 shootout win over the defending champion Kelowna Rockets in which the Hurricanes surrendered the game-tying goal with 19.6 seconds, but rebounded to take the game in a shootout.
“I just figured we were due,” said Hurricanes head coach Rich Preston of whose team snapped a six-game losing streak and moved their record to 18-39-4-3.

It was going to take more than having the captain’s ‘C’ taken off her jersey to affect Lauren Taal’s game.
So when University of Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s basketball head coach Donna Branch made the decision to take away the ‘C’ from Taal earlier this season, the third-year guard simply rolled up her sleeves and went right back to work, maintaining her strong presence both on and off the court.
“She is no doubt a tremendous leader, but we stepped back a bit this year and took the ‘C’ away from her and allowed her to just play and grow. She’ll get that (captain’s role) back,” said Branch. “We talked about it and I told her why I thought we needed to do it. She just does it so naturally, she’s going to do it whether she’s got the ‘C’ or not. She’s just a true leader because she sets the tone and leads the way.”

The Lethbridge Hurricanes were 19.6 seconds away from takeoff to their destination, Two Points Land, as they hosted the Kelowna Rockets in Western Hockey League action Wednesday night at the Enmax Centre.
Turns out their flight was merely delayed as the Rockets scored the with 19.6 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 2-2 before ’Canes netminder Linden Rowat capped off a stellar outing by stopping Rocket Brett Bulmer in the fifth round of the shootout as Lethbridge snagged a 3-2 shootout win.
The win not only gives the Hurricanes the extra point, it snaps a six-game winless skid that moves Lethbridge to 18-39-4-3.

You may not notice Philip Tot. But that’s hardly a backhanded swipe at the rookie forward for the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
Rather, as the ‘Canes get set to host the Western Hockey League champion Kelowna Rockets during WHL regular season action tonight at 7 p.m. at the Enmax Centre, the six-foot-one, 175-pound forward who hails from Calgary continues to hone every aspect of his game.
And while the spotlight may not follow Tot around, the 16-year-old’s progress has not gone unnoticed from the Hurricanes coaching staff.

A plethora of grapplers will be exhibiting their fitness, strength and skills this weekend in Lethbridge as LCI hosts the Alberta Schools Athletic Association 2010 Rural Provincial Wrestling Championships.
The event takes place Friday (3 - approximately 9 p.m.) and Saturday (9 a.m. - about 4 p.m., with medal matches beginning in the 2:30 p.m. range.)
The site should be no surprise to those who follow major high school sports events in this region.
It’s the University of Lethbridge — specifically in this case the 1st Choice Savings Centre.
With the advent of the new Community Sports Stadium on campus U of L is now a hub of regional football events.
Obviously, high school track will become a regular there, too.
