NOTEBOOK The University of Manitoba Bisons women’s hockey team has recruited Kaitlyn Chatyrbok, Erin Fargey, Chloe Snaith for the 2018-19 season. Chatyrbok is a Winnipegger who plays forward at St. Mary’s Academy while Fargey is a goaltender from Alberta and Snaith is a defenseman from MacGregor, Man., who plays for the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League’s Central Plains Capitals • • • Congratulations to veteran goaltender Barry Brust of Swan River, Man., who helped Canada win gold at the 2017 Spengler Cup • • • Logan Angers of Winnipeg’s St. Mary’s Academy was the No. 3 goaltender for Canada’s U-18 women’s team at the World Championship. Canada beat Russia to win bronze. Sadly, two losses to the USA relegated the Canadians to the bronze medal game • • • Winnipeg’s Ryan Garbutt has signed a deal to play for Bratislava in the KHL. According to his agent, Darryl Wolski, it’s Garbutt’s third KHL team this season. He had a goal and five points in 12 games for HK Sochi, two assists in nine games for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod and now a goal and three points in six games for HC Slovan Bratislava. Quite a year for airline points. • • • After being a guest on Travis Dunn’s Around the Rink radio program on 740 The Fan in Fargo, I learned one important lesson: Every UND team to win an NCAA championship has had at least one player from Manitoba on it. Including Winnipegger and former St. Boniface Saints defenseman Travis Dunn in 1980 • • • Altona’s Cole Kehler, a goaltender who who was in the Winnipeg Jets Development Camp last fall, has signed a UFA contract with the Los Angeles Kings• • • Congratulations to former MJHL Winnipeg Blues, MMJHL Stonewall Jets and KJHL Arborg Ice Dawgs defenseman Carter Comeau on his football scholarship to the University of Calgary. Riverton, Manitoba’s 6-foot-6, 340-pounder, who never played a game of organized football in his life until last summer, has agreed to play for the Dinos this fall. It’s an incredible story, because up until this past summer, Comeau, 22, was a BCHL linesman. “It’s kind of amazing, I guess,” Comeau told our sister publication SportsLife Magazine. “I always wanted to play football. I guess I’m a football player now.” • • • Brandon’s own, defenseman James Shearer, has been named the latest captain of the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings • • • While everyone is talking about Ste. Anne’s Bailey Bram (and rightly so) and her selection to Canada’s Olympic team, we shouldn’t forget her younger sister, 24-year-old Shelby Bram, who has 12 goals and 30 points in 33 games for Brynas IF in the Swedish Women’s League • • • Winnipeg’s Jack Rodewald, who has played in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies, Binghamton Senators and Belleville Senators and in the ECHL with the Wichita Thunder and Orlando Solar Bears, reached his dream back on Oct. 27, when he suited up for the Ottawa Senators in a game against the New Jersey Devils. He has played four NHL games this season (30 games in the AHL) and at 23, should have a nice career ahead of him. He’s certainly worked hard to get to play four NHL games, that’s for sure.
