The TS&M Bantam AA Bruins split a weekend of hockey action, falling 5-1 to the Regina Monarchs on Saturday and then pummeling the Moose Jaw Warriors 6-0 on Sunday in Affinity Place.

"We'll take it," said Head Coach Tom Copeland of the latter game, "We're trying to find ourselves again here a little bit."

He stated that the level of competition needs to be brought back to it's former height, and the key to that will be some solid practice. Although posting a shutout, it was against a team that has yet to win a game this season.

"It's one on one battles down low, two on two battles down low, lots of angling, lots of one on ones, anything you do to compete, cycling. We beat the tar out of each other for two or three days this week, and I promise you that by next weekend they'll be prepared to beat the tar out of the other team."

When it comes to the weekend overall, he said it was "just good to get the two points."

Forward Turner McMillan set a record when he stepped off the ice on Sunday, having played 62 regular season games in the SBAAHL.

"If he can play out the season here, I think he'll be tied for the most regular season games played in the league ever," shared Copeland.

McMillan has also posted some strong stats, though this year he has had to fight through a wrist injury.

Zane Winter filled the net against Regina, and Jackson Miller stood tall on Sunday, and their coach put in good words for them as well.

"We've been getting excellent goaltending for the last four or five games. The scores aren't indicative of that, but they could be a lot worse if we didn't get the goaltending that we get."

Before the puck dropped on Sunday's match, the Moose Jaw Warriors presented the Bruins with a plaque and individual banners in memory of former Assistant Coach Mike Serada, who passed away earlier in the month. He had attended school with one of the parents of a Moose Jaw player.

"That's a classy move by them, we didn't expect it. The whole league reached out for Mike. I guess his reach and the people that he touched, they were everywhere. That's a classy bunch, and I'm very thankful to for doing that," expressed Copeland.
