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

Jamie Zaleski Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! Today you will be able to meet and get to know FHL Danville Dashers center Jamie Zaleski a little bit better. You don't come across a player very often that is so passionate about the sport that he takes immense pride in every game he plays or every time he represents his team, but today I believe I was able to talk to one of those chosen few. Jamie is an amazing player who beams passion and talent every time he walks onto the ice for a game and when you see him play, I guarantee that by the end of the game you will be as stunned as I was when I first watched a Dashers game. 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.

Until the announcement was made earlier this year that all AWHL teams would be moving to the NA3HL, the Helena Bighorns have been 9 time league champions, 7 times back to back. In 2011, they took home the hardware and were the Junior A National champions. Almost every season the team has made the long and rightfully earned trip to Nationals and almost every year they continue to amaze the nation. As each new season approaches, I have the constant thought "How are they going to top last year's roster?" Well every year they manage to absolutely blow me away. The skaters that have become part of the Bighorns family are definitely always the top ...
