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.
