The North Winnipeg Satelites concluded another season Saturday as they held their

Annual Awards Banquet at the Tyndall Park Community Centre.

The Satelites had two players they felt were equally deserving of the Satelites' MVP Award

and in the end they decided to honour both. The Satelites MVP Award Winners are

Gary Duszak and Conor Stephenson

The Coaches' Choice Award winner is Bryce Hnatiw

The Hardest Working Player Award winner is Phil Ferreira

The Satelites' Rookie of the Year Award winner is Jared Berezowsky

The Satelites also honoured their four graduating players for their long time

commitment to the Satelites. They are:

Gary Duszak, Bryce Hnatiw, Bruce Hoban and Taylor Lemon

The Satelites paid tribute to two other players and a special volunteer. Although they didn't get to 

play their last games in the KJHL as Satelites, their commitment to the team for the years they 

were here could not go unrecognized. Special thanks go to Dustin Leach and Paul Woloschuk.

We would also like to give special thanks to Jeremy Henkewich, our trainer and safety

person the past several years. With a young family and moving from the city Jeremy felt that

he could not commit to the time and travel of the team. We wish you all the best Jeremy,

to you and your family.

The Satelites would also like to thank Head Coach Doug Stokes for his dedication to the 

team the past two seasons. After 31 years of coaching in the junior hockey ranks, 

Coach Stokes announced his retirement from coaching Saturday night so that he would be 

able to spend more time with his family, especially his young grandchildren. 

The North Winnipeg Satelites wish you all the best Coach Stokes, Thank you. 

And lastly we would like to thank our volunteers who came out and helped prepare the banquet.

Our thanks go out to Paul Woloschuk for the music and lights,

to Marshall Stephenson for providing the photography,

to Ryan Gaudet, Shawn and Cliff for doing an excellent job at the BBQ's,

to Mrs. H. for the delicious potato salad,

and to all the Friends of the Satelites who came out to the social.

Thank you!

Arborg Ice Dawg Tune-up for the Westerns

April 14,2012

        In the Arborg Ice Dawgs tune-up game against a team made of Ice Dawg Alumni, members of the 

U of M Bisons, the North Winnipeg Satelites, Selkirk Steelers, Stonewall Jets, Interlake Lightning, 

Stonewall Flyers, the Gimli Wolves and the Plum Coulee Express, the Ice Dawgs found themselves on 

the wrong end of the 8-2 score. The team dubbed Manitoba Stars proved to be a little too much for the 

Ice Dawgs, who showed the effects of not having been in competitive hockey games for almost two weeks.

        Jeff Sonnenburg had bookend goals, scoring the first and the last goals for the Manitoba Stars. After

Sonnenburg's early first period goal, Jeff English scored a late first period goal for the Ice Dawgs to send

the game into the first intermission tied at one.

        In the second, the Stars scored two goals in 20 seconds, the first by the Selkirk Steelers Evan Laye 

and the next by Brendan Rowinski of the Bisons to take a 3-1 lead. The Ice Dawgs cut into that lead when

Brock McMahon scored to make the score 3-2, but the Manitoba Stars team reeled off three consecutive

goals from the sticks of Tyson Fergula of the Interlake Lightning, Bruce Hoban from the Satelites, and

Rowinski with his second of the game to take a 6-2 lead after forty minutes. In the third, Hoban added

his second of the game, followed by Sonnenburg's second to make the final 8-2.

        Mark Friesen of the Bisons made 25 saves in the nets for the Manitoba Stars, while the tandem of

Brendan and Connor Darowski combined to make 43 saves for the Ice Dawgs.

        The North Winnipeg Satelites making the trip to play in the game against the Ice Dawgs were:

Gary Duszak, Bruce Hoban, Jordan Monis and Conor Stephenson.

        After the final whistle both teams lined up to shake hands in a display of good sportsmanship and 

then both teams posed together for a collective team picture.

        The Ice Dawgs will now prepare to leave for Saskatoon and vie for the Keystone Cup which gets 

underway on Thursday April, 19 and represent the Province of Manitoba and the KJHL in the Western 

Canada Junior 'B' Championship. We wish you all the best and good luck.

Posted March 20/2012

Prospective Junior B teams should contact Grant Heather @ grant.heather@mymts.net in order obtain information pertaining to entrance into the KJHL.  Application deadline is April 13, 2012 for consideration to play in the 2012-2013 season
