The top teams did their stuff, the bottom teams floundered, and everyone we expected to score did. And one we didn’t.

### Ontario Hockey League

**#77 - Eemeli Räsänen (D) -** *0G, 0A, +1*  
Kingston Frontenacs - 25-16-4-3

Jan. 26th: vs Oshawa Generals  
**W 4-1 -** *0G, 0A, +2*  
Jan. 27th: @ Ottawa 67’s  
**W 5-4 OT -** *0G, 0A, -2*  
Jan. 28th: vs Peterborough Petes  
**W 2-0 -** *0G, 0A, +1*

The new additions to the team are taking care of the offensive game, leaving Rasanen time to work on his defense. The Frontenacs are trying to get a firm foothold in the standings, but have the Barrie Colts and Niagara IceDogs fighting them for the second/third seeds.

**#55 - Keaton Middleton (D) -** *0G, 1A, -3*  
Saginaw Spirit - 24-19-4-0

Jan. 26th: @ Kitchener Rangers  
**L 6-2 -** *0G, 0A, -1*  
Jan. 27th: vs Windsor Spitfires  
**W 6-5 -** *0G, 1A, +1*  
Jan. 28th: vs Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds  
**L 5-2 -** *0G, 0A, -3*

The Spirit are hovering around the bottom of the OHL Western Conference, but managed a win over the Spitfires sandwiched between two losses.

**#15 - Fedor Gordeev (D) -** *0G, 1A*  
Flint Firebirds - 14-29-3-1

Jan. 26th: @ Guelph Storm  
**L 5-3 -** *No Points*  
Jan. 27th: vs Kitchener Rangers  
**L 5-3 -** *0G, 0A, -1*  
Jan. 28th: vs Windsor Spitfires  
**W 4-2 -** *0G, 1A, +1*

The Firebirds managed a win over the defending Memorial Cup champions to end their week. Our boy Gordeev played well, and even got a point!

**#19 - Ryan McGregor (F) -** *Did Not Play*  
Sarnia Sting - 34-12-3-0

Jan. 26th: @ Niagara IceDogs  
**L 6-5 OT -** *Did Not Play*  
Jan. 27th: @ Erie Otters

McGregor is still injured, but should be returning soon.

**#52 - Nicolas Mattinen (D) -** *2G, 1A, +6*  
Hamilton Bulldogs - 31-11-3-3

Jan. 26th: @ Erie Otters  
**W 4-3 -** *2G, 0A, +3*

Jan. 27th: vs Oshawa Generals  
**W 5-1 -** *0G, 1A, +2*  
Jan. 28th: vs Sarnia Sting  
**L 4-2 -** *0G, 0A, +1*

Mattinen and the Bulldogs won two and their only loss came against the second place team in the OHL. It was a good week offensively, as Nicolas recorded a multi-goal game against Erie.

### Western Hockey League

**#33 - Ian Scott (G) -** *40sh, 44sv, .909sv%*

Jan. 27th: vs Edmonton Oil Kings  
**W 9-2 -** *18sv, 20sh, .900sv%*

An excellent weekend for Scott as his forwards scored 15 goals. The Raiders wins bumped them up to within four points of a wild card playoff spot.
