FOR THE RECORD:

Wenatchee’s season-opening game at Everett last week was one for the record books, starting with Tobias Tvrznik’s 60-save performance – that showing tied a 29-year-old franchise record set by Tim Winters, in a 6-1 loss to the Portland Winterhawks on November 16, 1996. He became just the eighth WHL goaltender in the last quarter-century to post 60 saves in a regular-season game. Including the shot credited for winning the shootout, Everett was credited with 64 shots on goal in the game, breaking the Wild/ICE club record for a road contest (November 2, 2016 at Regina), and the 25 shots faced in the third period also tied a two-year-old Wild/ICE club record for a road game.

 

THIS IS A BIG DEAL:

This year’s Wenatchee roster will feature some imposing size, thanks in part to some important additions from overseas. Three of the four tallest players on the roster were selected in this summer’s Canadian Hockey League Import Draft, headlined by 6’6” German defenseman Darian Rolsing. 6’5” Slovakian blueliner Michal Capos was selected with the last of Wenatchee’s three picks, while 6’4” backstop Tobias Tvrznik was the top Wild selection in the Import Draft at 10^th overall. 6’4” Paul Wiczek and Caelan Joudrey will share honors as the team’s tallest forwards to open the year – after ranking 17^th in team height last season, Wenatchee has leapt up to the sixth-tallest ranking in the WHL to open this year.

 

CURTAIN-RAISER:

Wenatchee opens the home schedule tonight looking to continue an impressive stretch in its list of home openers – the Wild and ICE have won five consecutive home openers, including the team’s March 2021 “home opener” against the Swift Current Broncos at Brandt Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan. All-time, the Wild and ICE are 20-6-1-0 with 2 ties in their home-opening games.
