It was not a good week for the top two teams in the Bauer Conference as the Humboldt Broncos and Melfort Mustangs were a combined 0-5. The Broncos tasted defeat in back-to-back road games in Weyburn and Estevan while the Mustangs lost on the road in Melville, La Ronge and the Battlefords. The loss in Melville was one Darrell Mann's crew wishes he had back as they went into the 3rd with a 3-0 lead on the Millionaires only to see Melville tie it and win it in the shootout. While the top teams in the conference faltered, a couple of teams made a move. La Ronge moved to within a point of Melfort in the Bauer with a pair of wins, while the Battlefords are showing they may finally be ready to make a move as they won two games in three starts to sit three back of fourth place Flin Flon. The Ice Wolves weren't the only team to go through the week unbeaten. Estevan and Melville also did that. For the Bruins, they are keeping the heat on the first place Yorkton Terriers who are ready to return home this Friday after a long nine game road trip. The Weyburn Red Wings are also starting to climb up the ladder as they won a pair of games in three starts as the league proves again that is very competitive from top to bottom with no givens on any night. The SJHL was front and center in Humboldt on Friday, November 5 as the Class of 2010 for the SJHL Hall of Fame was announced. Getting inducted at the end of the month into the Hall will be Hall of Fame goaltender and Humboldt native Glenn Hall, former Humboldt Bronco Bill McDougall who had one of the best seasons in Canadian Junior "A" hockey history in 1987, former SJHL, WHL and NHL ref Mick McGeough, the 2002-2003 RBC Cup champion Humboldt Broncos and two men who have been very important in the history and creation of the Broncos hockey club Ñ Dr. Gerry Rooney and Dr. Terry Henning. All will be honoured with a banner ceremony at the November 26 game between Humboldt and Melfort with all getting formally inducted the next night at the SJHL Hall of Fame banquet in Humboldt.
