PLAYERS THAT CAUGHT MY EYE THIS WEEKEND

This is totally off the top of my head from what I remember over the course of watching twelve teams in two and a half days.

GOAL:
Fraser Abdallah, Kindersley - I didn't see him on Sunday, but he was amazing on Saturday.  Jay Young should've had a hat trick, but ended up with a goose egg on the score sheet.

Steven Glass, Estevan - Very calm in there.  He had two pretty tough assignments, but handled Humboldt nicely on Friday night and then gave up only two against a Yorkton team that had defeated the Bruins twice earlier in the week.

Andy Desautels, Flin Flon - I didn't watch him on Sunday night, but I see he's now 5-and-0, 2.40, .912 and that bears watching.

DEFENSE:
Travis Sparrow, Battlefords - The team captain and he only has 1-assist this season; but he doesn't get beat much one-on-one.  Defense is the toughest position for me to evaluate because it's easy to look at the stats and just go with those guys.  But, Sparrow is a good one and he doesn't have to put up any numbers at all.

Brady Norrish, Yorkton - He scored a real nice goal on the rush on Saturday and as he gets more comfortable, I think you will see more offense from him and his twin brother.

John Stechyshyn, Melville - He's got five points in ten games and I really like his poise.  He doesn't appear to be a rookie out there.

Brandt Weldon, Flin Flon - Wow, can he shoot.

FORWARDS:
Jay Young, Flin Flon - In the words of Kindersley coach Rockie Zinger:  "He's a man".  Hits, scores, skates well. 

Dillan McCombie, Flin Flon - I get the feeling whenever this kid decides he's going to really do something.  He will do whatever he wants.

Blake Tatchell, Battlefords - He's always exciting every time I see the Stars play.

Kyle Threndyle, Melfort - It's a tall order to go from fourth line to first line the way he has.  On a struggling team, no less.  Still, Threndyle is a bonafide threat.

Michael Sagen, Melville - A lot of attention being paid to the top line and the goaltending situation in Melville.  Quietly, Sagen is a force on the PK and is collecting points.

Jamie Vlanich, Yorkton - He can't be more than 5'9", but he hits like he's 6'4" and scores regularly.

Justin Lund, Kindersley - He got cranked twice in the second period by Jay Young on Saturday, but the 17-year-old just kept on motoring.
