Player profiles for the above can be seen on The Mayon Event



 
Red Deer Rebels

Jeff "Not Brown, Not Jones" Smith - LW, 6'5", 205  lbs, 01/02/81

I haven't been able to get much information or see this guy go yet, but he definitely has the requisite size to be a fighter in the WHL. His 5+ fights indicate he has the heart to go as well. Hopefully we'll get a chance to see this guy in action and I can get the lowdown on him. Until then, if anyone knows what Jeff brings to the table, drop us a line at:  mailto:yawannago@hotmail.com
 
 
 



 
Calgary Hitmen



 
Lethbridge Hurricanes

Justin "Case" Ossachuk - LW, 5'10", 180 lbs, 03/14/80

Traded early in the year from Seattle to Lethbridge, Justin is generally regarded as an agitator but has been dropping the gloves and getting busy as a Hurricane. Not very tall, the stocky Ossachuk often looks very similar to the Tasmanian Devil when he fights. He doesn't win as many as he'd like, but he definitely makes other players keep their heads up when he around. Justin isn't a top 10 fighter, but he is willing to show up and deserves respect for his willingness.
 
 



 
Medicine Hat Tigers

Brad "The Sloth" Voth - RW, 6'5", 235 lbs, 02/25/80
NHL rights: St. Louis Blues

Brad needs to improve his skating to become more of a force in the heavyweight division as he is pretty much a one dimensional player. Most other tough guys who can play don't bother fighting Brad because it is a bad trade-off due to his limited skills. Brad is often prone to taking bad penalties that cost his team. He also breaks the "golden rule" of tough guys by often cheapshotting opponents who aren't known for their fighting talents. This costs him respect in the fighting game. Brad needs to step to the plate and take on the legitimate heavies to start earning the respect he seems capable of getting.
 

"Konrad "Von" Brand - D, 6'4", 231 lbs, 07/14/79
NHL rights: Los Angeles Kings

       Big, tough overage defenceman hasn't been dropping the gloves therefore finds himself on the outside looking in, mind you there isn't much shame in that playing in the ultra tough central division. Konrad just needs to start making more of a statement in his games to move back to the top ten.
 
 
 



 
Kootenay Ice

Matt "Me And My Able" Walker - D, 6'3", 215lbs, 04/07/80
NHL rights: St. Louis Blues

Matt is more of an honest hockey player than Rossiter and Beckett, but also has the scouts and NHL teams asking why he doesn't use his physical presence more. Matt had a good scrap recently with Derek Boogaard of Prince George, winning by most accounts, but needs to drop 'em more often with other tough guys to move into the top ten any time soon.
 
 
 

Stacey "God I hate that Name" Bublitz - LW, 6'2", 215 lbs, 07/18/80

This guy has only played in a handful of games but has gone to battle with # 1 ranked Eric Goddard twice so far in his short career, doing well in both fights I might add! Hurt his hand in the second bout, but hopefully it will be healed soon and we'll see this guy continue to scrap some of the leagues other heavyweights.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Chris "Don't be calling me Jenny Craig" Chubb - D, 6'2", 200 lbs, 8/21/80
NHL rights: Edmonton Oilers

 #8.  Chris hasn't been fighting much since leaving Gavin McLeod laying on the ice like a bottle of Heinz ketchup thats sprung a leak in pre season, but he has picked it up lately and making his presence felt. More of a brawler, Chris was needed by the Ice in the very tough Central Division as insurance for an overworked Graham Belak. With the playoffs and trade deadline approaching, the real season will be starting soon and with the intensity picking up, we fully expect Chris to become a more frequent scrapper.
