The Portland Winterhawks surge onto the Veterans Memorial Coliseum ice seeking a repeat of last season’s race to the WHL championship series. Boasting a franchise-record 17 straight home victories through January 17, the talented flock of skaters has once again soared to the peak of the Western Conference behind a star-studded roster, which includes eight NHL-draft picks and a goalie that slows incoming shots with buckets of tree sap. While perched in their 200-level seats, fans can marvel at the puck prowess of wingers Brad Ross and Ty Rattie, who leads the entire WHL with a hearty 78 points through 45 games. During the afternoon game on February 18, the curtains at the historic Veterans Memorial Coliseum will be drawn, allowing natural light to taunt the visiting team’s shadows through the stadium’s glass façade.
