Playoff Preview: Storm Vs. Pat Blues

Regina, SK -  Funny sometimes how talent skips a generation.  I was never able to get beyond house league as a youth hockey player, while every fall Sean was always scooped up pretty quick in the annual draft. Much tougher league back then, however, with no face masks, no mouth guards, no composite sticks and no blogs!  This got me thinking of a young back-up goalie in the '70's from Saskatchewan; Dean Piller.  When you contrast Dean's minor hockey career with son Jacob there really is no comparison.  As a Bantam rookie, Jacob tied for 5th in team scoring with a very impressive 22 points, which includes 10 goals.  Dean once lasted 22 minutes, his personal record, before being pulled from the cage.  No doubt Dean will be at the game tomorrow in Balgonie where he's since become one of the best 50/50 salesmen in the entire province so it all evens out in the end. Be sure to get your tickets early as that pot promises to be a big one!  The playoffs continue tomorrow night with the first game in a highly anticipated playoff series against the Prairie Storm!
