Here's an update concerning Last nights CHL action.

Fort Worth was defeated by Oklahoma City, in Oklahoma City, 9-4
In that game, Daniel Larin and Steve Simoni EACH had a hat trick.
Perhaps Marc Foster can provide a detaile game summary.

The Dallas Freeze shelled the Wichita Thunder 10 to 1 in front of a 
whopping 2,947 crowd.  The game was, surprisingly enough, officiated
pretty well.  Especially due to the fact that Chris Cozzan was the referee.
The game tied a CHL record for the most goals scored in a single game.
Also, Dallas Freeze player, Troy Binnie, tied a team AND CHL record for the
most goals scored in a single game with 4.  Note:  Jason Taylor of the Freeze`
has also scored 4 goals in a single game.

For the first time this year the Freeze power play was on track.  The Dallas 
Freeze scored six times on the power play, while having eleven opportunities.
With yesterday's onslaught, the Freeze ended Wichita goaltender Robert
Desjardins' 104-minute consecutive shutout streak.  In fact, Desjardin was
pulled in during the 2nd intermission.  Wachter finished in goal for the
Thunder.

Freeze player of the week, defenseman Dave Doucette, stayed hot by scoring
2 more goals.  The win was a pinnacle of sorts for the Freeze.  Every
eligible player scored either a goal or had an assist.  Even Freeze goaltender
Mike Zanier had two assists.

However, the game was not all excitement.  In a closer-door meeting, Freeze
forward Richard Hajdu announced his retirement from hockey.  He has been
plagued by injuries that have prevented him from playing to the best of his
abilities.  He said, "This is not the way I wanted to leaver the game.  But
when you're not mentally into it, well, I felt I was hurting the team as
well as myself and my fiancee... Basically, I have to get on with something
else."  Hajdu is a former draft pick of the Buffalo sabres.  He leaves as
the teams fifth-leading scorer with 10 goals and 4 assists.  He had two
assist during last nights game.

The three players of the game were:
   1.  Dallas Forward Troy Binnie (4 goals, 2pp)
   2.  Dallas Goaltender Mike Zanier (37 shots - 36 saves, 2assists)
   3.  Dallas Defenseman Dave Doucette (2 goals, 2pp)
       ---also was named player of the week for 1/4-1/9


PICK TO CLICK
=============
My pick-to-click for the next player of the week is Freeze forward Troy
Binnie.  This week Binnie has 6 goals and 2 assists in two games.  There are
still two more games this week.


OTHER CHL NEWS
==============
Fort Worth Fire coach, Pete Mahavolich, has filed a formal complaint 
against Memphis coach Steve Carlson.  Carlson admitted to Fire Officials
that he sent a player on the ice to deliberately check Fire goaltender
Roch Belley in the final minute of Forth Worth's 9-6 win tuesday.  This
is reportedly after the Memphis locker room was vandalized by thieves during
the game.
