Well the Brandon Wheat Kings have been playing some excellent hockey as of late. They are in 3rd place in the Western Conference of the WHL. Since the owners of the MTS Centre have blocked all attempts to bring junior hockey to Winnipeg, I cheer on the Wheaties. Last night they destroyed the Moose Jaw Warriors 6-1.
Schenn's goal, assist lift Brandon to 6-1 win over Moose Jaw

The Brandon Wheat Kings don't mind facing divisional opponents — except for maybe the Saskatoon Blades.
Brayden Schenn had one of three first-period goals and later added an assist as Brandon throttled the Moose Jaw Warriors 6-1 in Western Hockey League action Friday night.
The Wheat Kings (30-14-3-1) have faced East Division opponents in each of their last five games, and have posted a 4-1 record. Their only loss came Wednesday, when they were trounced 6-2 by the division-leading Blades.
Brandon bounced back from that disappointing effort with a dominant performance, outshooting the Warriors by a ridiculous 59-14 margin. The score would have been even more one-sided had it not been for the goaltending heroics of Jeff Bosch and Deven Dubyk, who stopped 54 shots in defeat for Moose Jaw.
Schenn, the younger brother of Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Luke Schenn, scored a power-play goal - his 20th of the season - to give the Wheat Kings a 3-0 advantage through one period. He added an assist on Scott Glennie's 25th of the year as Brandon built its advantage to 5-0.
Schenn, who is eligible for this year's NHL draft, has four goals and 13 assists in 10 games in January, and has points in 20 of his last 24 games.
