Thanks for following my blog and keep reading it (don't be afraid to comment). I meant to do this once amonth but obviously that didn't work very well. I will do a third edition next month and then a fourth one when the season ends. I will also do a playoff edition.

Happenings since last edition
*London Knights won 24 straight games overall which started with a win against Belleville on November 2nd and ended with an overtime loss to the Sarnia Sting January 1st.
*Halifax Mooseheads won 17 straight games at home starting on September 29 versus Cape Breton and ending with an overtime loss on January 4 to Saint John, this led to Halifax having the best home record in the CHL which today stands at 18-1-1-0.
*72 current CHL players were selected to play for their respective countries in the 2013 World Juniors in Ufa, Russia. Seven more CHL alumni were also chosen to represent their countries. With the United States winning the gold medal, 10 current CHL players were able to bring that experience back to their junior teams.
*The Home Hardware CHL/NHL top prospects game was played a week ago in Halifax, Nova Scotia in front of a sold out crowd which included many (at least 200) scouts and hockey personnel.
*The NHL season finally started on Saturday after a 114 day lockout. 8 CHL players were called up to represent the teams that drafted them in 2012 or 2011; this includes Mark Scheifele, Nail Yakupov, Jonathan Huberdeau, Alex Galchenyuk, Rickard Rickell, Mikhail Grigorenko, Dougie Hamilton, and Scott Laughton.
Note: the Saint John Sea Dogs and the Vancouver Giants are the only teams in the CHL to not have lost any games in overtime or a shootout. Also, despite being Memorial Cup champions last year, Shawinigan finds themselves at the bottom of the QMJHL.
