Bryan Trottier only spent one season in Lethbridge.
That was all he needed to make a lasting impression.
Now, as the Hurricanes host the Kootenay Ice at 7 p.m. tonight at the Enmax Centre, the organization will honour Trottier and Wes Walz, as well as the Lethbridge Hockey Hounds, with a banner-raising ceremony.
“I think it’s a very high honour and I can’t thank the Broncos/Hurricanes organization and supporters as much I can right now,” said Trottier. “I’m really kind of blown away by the whole thing because I didn’t have a long career there and when they called up I thought ‘Really? Me? I only stayed one year there.’ “They said ‘Well, we feel it was a pretty good year.’ It’s awesome.”

It’s dress rehearsal time for the Lethbridge College Kodiaks women’s basketball team.
With their Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference playoff spot wrapped up, the Kodiaks round out their regular season this weekend when the Red Deer Queens pay a visit to the Val Matteotti gymnasium tonight at 6 p.m. and again on Saturday at 1 p.m.
And while the Kodiaks aren’t about to look past the 7-11 Queens, they are sneaking a peak to the first round of the playoffs next weekend when they host the Grant MacEwan Griffins in the ACAC quarter-finals.

'Canes can't buck the Broncos |

The shot clock told one story, the final tally on the scoreboard told another.
Hosting the Swift Current Broncos in Western Hockey League action Wednesday night at the Enmax Centre, the Lethbridge Hurricanes nearly doubled their opponents on the shot clock 30-16, but four of those Broncos shots — two on the power play found twine while the ’Canes managed a single tally on their way to a 4-1 loss.
Hurricanes head coach Rich Preston felt his team was the better one, man-to-man.
“I thought we outplayed them and we were the better team. Not even close, not even close,” said Hurricanes head coach Rich Preston. “We were the better team, (but) Linden (Rowat, netminder) will tell you he let in a couple soft goals and we have to score more than one.”

There’s a very light slate of local high school athletic action this week, with Family Day and a major teacher’s convention on hand. However, it’s the calm before one heck of a storm.
• • •
Take the associated Southern Alberta High School Girls and 4A Boys Basketball Leagues (www.SouthHoops.ca) for example. Approximately one-third of the season schedule is crammed into the last 11 days starting next Tuesday, Feb. 23!
The South Zone Basketball Championships go March 8-13, with Alberta Schools Athletic Association Provincial Championships (4A co-hosted by Raymond and Cardston) March 18-20. Then there’s a slate of league all-star games the following week.

’Canes not done just yet |

There’s still something for the Lethbridge Hurricanes to play for. The cold, hard Western Hockey League stats tell the cold, hard truth, a berth in the post season is most likely a pipe dream for the 'Canes, almost mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
But as the 17-36-4-2 Hurricanes get set to host the Swift Current Broncos at 7 p.m. tonight at the Enmax Centre, pride remains front-and-centre as Lethbridge looks to perhaps play the role of the spoiler and, most importantly, give the teams they'll face on the remainder of their schedule a tough battle despite what their record says.
