Miners Weekly Record: 3 wins, 1 loss, 0 OT loss.
Miners League Standing: 28 wins, 18 losses, 5 OT Loss = 61 points total.
Currently sit in 5th place in the Canosa Conference, 8th overall in the CCHL.
Miners Special Teams: Power Play – 21.2% (8th); Penalty Kill – 81.8% (7th)
Miners Scoring Leader: Center Tyler Seguin (22G – 39A = 61 pts; 10th Overall in the CCHL)
The Miners continue to keep pace with the upper end of the standings in the CCHL – never losing
any ground, but never gaining any. But their consistency in recent weeks has seen them open up a
sizeable gap of 11 pts over 7th place Long Island and they now sit comfortably in a playoff spot with 30 games to go.
“We are liking the consistency in our game lately”, stated Miners forward Sebastian Aho. “We
have had a lot of changes to the roster this year, me included, but now everyone seems to be getting
healthy and comfortable, so we are excited to see what the rest of the season and playoffs will bring.”
It is true the Miners are starting to get healthy again and should have their full roster for the first
time this season with the return of defenseman Ryan Murray. Management is hoping for good health for the remainder of the year so that this team can really show its fan base what it is capable of.
With the trade deadline fast approaching, there are rumors that General Manager Terry James
has dipped his toes into the trade waters but nothing appears to be on the front burner at this point.
Given the moves he has made earlier this year, one would not expect the Miners to be too active on the trade front.
But…..it is the CCHL and that could all change with a quick e-mail……
MINERS PLAYER PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Vincent Trocheck
Trocheck is a shifty and creative forward, whose main strength is driving play by his great skating.
He has good hands with good offensive vision. He is a very underrated talent. He drives strong to the
net, can spin off pressure and can generate plays off the cycle. He is a very responsible forward in his
own end as well and has often been used on the penalty kill for the Miners in recent years. He is one of the Miner's most trusted forwards, and is a leader in the dressing room. Given his talent and the depth that the Miners are beginning to show, he could push for another 30 goal and 70-point season.
MINERS PROSPECT NEED TO KNOW: Joel Farabee
Farabee decided to turn pro after only one season at Boston University, but he is still slight and
will have a harder time gaining muscle mass under the pro schedule. Having said that, the upside is that he could probably play in the top six for some teams right away and has the two way game to mature into a rare Selke candidate from the wing within a few short years. Despite his lack of mass, he is strong. His offensive tools are high end. He was close to a point per game player as a freshman on a mediocre team and performed well as an 18-year old in the WJC. A cerebral player, Farabee can control the pace of the game better than many centers. He is an impact player even when he doesn’t score, but there is no reason why he shouldn’t score at a top-six level in the CCHL. Expected CCHL arrival: 2021-22.
