Brendin Carberry and Brady Dyck have been named to the U15 Westman 7s team.

Zane Brindle has made the cut and will play on the U17 Westman team.

The Dauphin Kings dropped their seconds game of the season on the road against the OCN Blizzard. The Blizzard used a high tempo first period to earn a two goal cushion, and would later capitalize on a 5-on-3 powerplay to make it 3-0.

Both teams had plenty of powerplay opportunities. Dauphin's powerplay started with an extended 5 minute man advantage after Hayden Pierce was up-ended on a boarding call. In total the Kings had 8 powerplay chances. OCN had 6 powerplay chances of their own.

The Kings now look ahead to Friday's Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy Home Opener against the Swan Valley Stampeders.

The Kings play their second contest of the year on the road against the OCN Blizzard tonight.
