The OCN Blizzard and Swan Valley Stampeders will meet tonight for their 4th meeting of the regular season. It will be a special one for the Blizzard who are hosting a “Movember” game in front of the home crowd. Puck drops at 7pm as OCN looks to continue to keep pace with Steinbach amongst the top of the MJHL Standings. (Read more…)
Tonight’s game is a special one for the Blizzard as its “Movember” night. The Blizzard will be wearing special Blue Movember jerseys and they are being auctioned off. Bidding ends at the second intermission tonight.
The game can be heard on 102.9 CJAR with Jaret Schneider. Pre-game show starts at 6:45pm.
For the Swan Valley Stampeders they’ve dropped their last 3 games and are clinging to the last playoff spot by just 3 points over the Dauphin Kings, who have been hot of late. The Stampeders last win came November 15th when they knocked off OCN 5-3 in Swan Valley. The Stampeders and Blizzard have played each other as tight as can be over the 3 meetings and tonight should be another great affair.

For the Blizzard they’ve been out of game action since last weekend when they went 2-1 in 3 nights beating Steinbach and Neepawa, while falling to Neepawa in the Sunday game.
The OCN Blizzard had been one of the busiest teams in the MJHL as they had played 7 games in 13 nights before being given 5 days off from game action this week. OCN went 4-2-1 in that stretch and are now playing their lone home game until January 6th.
