When he was 10-years-old, Tarrington Wyonzek became a hockey official for Novice and Timbits games just to make some extra money. Some officials never get the chance to progress past that level, but Tarrington has and it's led him to the professional level.

The Yorkton native reffed his first junior game when he was 16-years-old. Three years later, he was hired as a linesman for the Western Hockey League. Tarrington went from just trying to make some money to lining games for one of the best junior leagues in the world.

"That was a super great moment, it felt truly amazing," said Wyonzek. "I was being exposed to such great hockey at such a young age. There were a lot of officials that I worked with along the way that helped me and pushed me. I'm thankful for a lot of them because they helped me get where I am today."

Eventually, Tarrington's name was getting called upon to line the most important of games. He worked last year's Game 7 between the Vancouver Giants and Prince Albert Raiders. Roblin's Jakob Brook and the Raiders went on to win that game. 

Tarrington also got the call to work the past two Memorial Cups in Regina and Halifax. The Memorial Cup is the Canadian Hockey League national championship.

"Getting the chance to line the final game between Vancouver and Prince Albert was amazing," continued Wyonzek. "Getting the Memorial Cup opportunities were great, it was a great experience."

Tarrington's duties, however, haven't stopped at the junior level for the past couple of years. He lined American Hockey League games out of Winnipeg for the Manitoba Moose. Now eight years after he was hired as a WHL official, Tarrington is making the jump to the professional ranks full-time.

He's now a full-time AHL and ECHL linesman after he found out in June. That mean's he'll be travelling all over North America as he continues to chase his dream of making the NHL.

"Working full-time pro hockey is really exciting, I'm looking forward to having a good year," he continued. I've been told ever since I was a kid that I had to conquer my highest league to move on to the next one. The goal is now conquering the AHL and ECHL. If I do that, I could get my chance, but I have to focus on the now and making it a good year."

The Yorkton native started his season last weekend in Virginia. His season and travels continue this weekend as he's in South Carolina.

"The most exciting thing for me is just seeing different rinks and different cities," concluded Wyonzek. "It's cool being able to see all of this new stuff. Also working with men, it brings a different level of communication to the ice and I'm looking forward to that."

A special thing happened on Wednesday night in Waywayseecappo. Russell's Keaton Ziprick earned his first-ever MJHL regular season. He made 12 saves in relief of Matthias Smith as the Kings beat the Wolverines, 6-5.

"It was a pretty special thing to be a part of the team and to be able to play, that was an amazing feeling," said Ziprick. "When Laflamme scored, I was so excited to win my first game and more importantly, the team got their third win."

Ziprick ended up playing just less than 30 minutes in the game. He also made a massive save on former King Jaymes Knee to keep the game alive late.

"I wasn't really nervous, I think it was just first-game jitters," he continued. "I didn't play my best, but I didn't play horrible."

AAA Rangers:

Ziprick will likely get his name called a lot this year for the Parkland U18 Rangers. The 16-year-old goaltender from Russell has already played in three games for the team this year, out of four.

After playing 19 games last season with Zach Grouette being the number one goalie, Keaton is in that same position this season.

"It feels good being the number one goalie," said Ziprick. "I have a feeling I'll get to play a lot if I continue to play how I am right now and that's a good feeling."

"I definitely have a lot more confidence in myself than I did last year," he continued. "Not being a first-year player and having last year's experience has definitely helped me."

In his three games this season, Keaton has made 108 saves. He also has two 42-save performances to his name. 

"I feel like I've been playing pretty well here to start the season," continued Ziprick. "I need to come out of my net more and track shots better, however. That will help me moving forward."

With an 0-4 record, Parkland will look to get in the win column starting tomorrow. They're in Portage for the league's Showcase. First up is a battle against the Winnipeg Thrashers and they also play the Interlake Lightning.

Earlier this campaign, Parkland dropped a 6-4 decision against Interlake and a 4-0 game against Winnipeg. 

"I have a feeling that we're going to go into Portage and have a good weekend," continued Ziprick. "As long as everyone comes and plays hard, we can make it a good two games."

After this weekend, Parkland will be back at Credit Union Place on Wednesday against Yellowhead for the "Pink the Rink" game. 

"Everyone on this team is committed to working hard and everyone wants to win," concluded Ziprick. "It's a good attitude in the dressing room and I think that will help to make the season better."

The Grandview Comets held their first tryout last week. If you missed it, don’t worry because you have another chance.

Murray Cook Jr. got the win in net as Parkland also won the shot battle, 68-24.

After a cancellation last weekend, the Dauphin Clippers hockey team will officially kick off their preseason this weekend.

They're playing in the Glenboro Tournament as they do every season. Dauphin was supposed to play Vincent Massey last weekend, but Mother Nature said no to that.

"I think our players are pretty happy to get on the ice in-game action, everyone was pretty disappointed about last weekend's game being cancelled," said Jason Alf. "Hopefully, we'll have some guys that will step up and show what they can do."

Last year's Clippers team advanced to the Westman High School Hockey League final, where they came up short against Hamiota. This year's final roster has not been confirmed. That decision will come after this weekend.

They play their first game tomorrow afternoon at 12 against Boissevain. Regardless, the Clippers will play at least three games through Saturday.

"Things are looking good and guys are working hard," continued Alf. "We're going to have some tough decisions after the weekend. You never want to cut people, but it happens and it has to happen."

Among the returnees this year will be the Storey brothers, the Allard's, and Bode Childs, just to name a few.

"We're going to put a lot of pressure on a lot of our veterans, they need to step up," concluded Alf. "We lost some good players last year, but we're looking for everyone to step up their game this season and contribute in the way they can."

Dauphin begins their regular season next Sunday against Boissevain. Their first home game is on November 1 against Deloraine.

Young hockey players from around Dauphin have been hitting the ice as the Dauphin Minor Hockey Association is ready for what should be another exciting season.

Tyler Carefoot is back as the President and he's ready for things to start.

"Registration went really well this year, we're super happy. Our numbers have never been better," said Carefoot. "I think we're sitting at about 183 kids registered and a few transfers out to go to the Ice Dogs program, which is always a great thing."

I think it's a testament to the hard work of our fellow directors within the board," he continued.

It's been a solid past couple of years for Dauphin Minor Hockey. A few teams have gone deep in the provincials and there has even been a provincial title. With numbers being where they are, another very exciting season should be on the way.

"I think our focus is more on having an environment that the kids can succeed in," continued Carefoot. "We want to help these kids develop skills on and off the ice. If we do that, the wins and championships will take care of themselves."

Earlier this week Carefoot was among a group that took part in league meetings and scheduling. Among the leagues, Dauphin Minor Hockey will take part in is the Parkissmo League. There are two Peewee teams, four Atom House teams, three-or-four Novice teams, and three-or-four initiation teams, just to name a few.

"As a board, we are extremely excited about this, it's fantastic that we have so many kids playing and so many teams," continued Carefoot.
