The Calgary Hitmen made some history this week, though not the history they hoped for, and pushed themselves to a big on-ice milestone. For the first time this season, the local junior squad has hit the .500 mark.
Hitmen news from this week
Hitmen defender Vladislav Yeryomenko has left the club to participate in the Division 1A World Junior Championship tournament in Germany, where he’s representing Belarus. It’s the third consecutive season he’s suited up for Belarus in a U20 tournament – they were in the “main” World Juniors last year but were relegated back to Division 1A.
