Last week was a bit of a rough one for the Chiefs as they suffered through a three game losing streak which matched their longest of the season. As a result, the boys have fallen 8 points back of Tri-City in the standings with just 10 games left.
The week started promising enough, as the Chiefs scored 7 goals in the first two periods on their way to a 7-3 rout of Seattle at the Arena last Wednesday. That win extended the team's win str...

What a week for the Chiefs!! Spokane picking up 4 wins and thus moving within just 2 points of first place Tri-City in the U.S. Division.
The week capped by a tremendous comeback win against Prince George at the Arena Sunday night. I know the fans who stuck around for that third period were sooo glad they did!
The boys started the week with a 5-2 win in Everett. Drayson Bowman led the way with 2 goals, and defenseman Michael Re...

What started out as an exciting weekend suddenly turned to a lot of disappointment for the Chiefs this last week, as the team dropped 2 of 3 games to fall 8 points back of Tri-City in the U.S. Division. Spokane losing both of their home games to Vancouver and Kelowna, two teams that the Chiefs may have to beat in the playoffs.
It's easy to say the emotional loss of defenseman Jared Cowen could be used as one of the reasons the team str...

I know there are some meteorologists/weathercasters out in tv weatherland that like to keep this top-secret, but that's not my style. If we're going to continue to get to know each other, I have to at least put myself out there.
Often times, my wise-crack answer to where we get our weather information or how we forecast involves something like consulting a crystal ball, calling the 'Psychic Friends Network', or getting it from th...

It's been an eventful week for the Chiefs on and off the ice. Starting on the ice, the team has the longest current winning streak in the league at 11 straight wins. It's been over a month since the team lost its last game, but Spokane faces a very tough weekend to keep it going.
The team with the best record in the WHL, the Vancouver Giants come to town on Friday night the 6th and the talk around the league is all about this contest....
