Saturday will be the day four teams open their WHL season. Everett opens against Prince George and Spokane and Tri-City will play one another. In the Everett vs. Prince George game, the Cougars will hope to find the offense that so often eluded them last season. Everett didn't fare that much better on offense, but Ryan Murray will be a difference maker on the blue line if he has to stay in the WHL. Tri-City was the U.S. Division Champion last year, but met a bitter defeat at the hands of the rival Portland Winterhawks. They will be looking for redemption this year, but will do so without two of their top three scorers and goaltender Ty Rimmer, who was traded in the off-season. Spokane was a distant third in the division, but they are a team not to be taken lightly.
