“[Trail is] just a good all around hockey club,” he said. “They’re well coached [with] good solid goaltending and very balanced forward lines.”

Nineteen-year-old Spruce Kings forward Shaun Fomenoff injured his shoulder during the second period of the team’s 4-2 loss to the Victoria Grizzlies last Saturday at the Coliseum. Dempsey said on Tuesday he was a couple weeks away from being ready for game action.
