Biscuits and Breezers



   Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! I have to apologize that I haven't posted in almost a month! I have wicked busy with scouting, trying to get things settled on my juniorhockey.com page, and now that it's time for all of the players to start getting settled with their teams everyone in hockey is swamped! But now Biscuits and Breezers can start getting on a regular schedule and there will be a ton more to report about. Since I am going to be working quite a bit with many junior teams this season I am thinking that I will try to have 1 post each week for the team blogs and an occasional college player featured when I can find the time for it. Also of course if any major news happens I will try to make sure to get it to you all straight away! As always, here is the news for the following leagues: KHL, SM - Liiga, SPHL, and the AHL.

 

This Week in the KHL:

* Swedish media Viasat has come to a deal with the KHL to broadcast HC Jokerit games, both home and away games, for the next three seasons

Fight of the Year Biscuits and Breezers        Before I move on to anymore news, I wanted to feature a fight that I think should be up for a fight of the year in the WSHL. This scrap was between a beast from Missoula and a goon from Seattle. That's right Austin Azzinnaro and Piers LaFrance battled it out in Missoula's last home game and it was amazing. You should have seen these two go at it! It was a complete yard sale of mitts, twigs, and buckets, and by the time Auzzie was done with the Totem, LaFrance was thrown out of the rink looking like he had just met Ross "The Boss" Rhea from Goon.

He is a born fighter and obviously it comes by him naturally because the skills he ha

Zaleski is the perfect player seeing that he has the ideal combinations of aggressive and physical plays, speed, and can score whenever it needs be. I have seen some pretty aggressive players in my time but Jamie Zaleski is the definition of aggression out on the ice. His hits are almost always cle
