With a big comeback win in Winnipeg, the Wildcats kept pace with the top teams in the standings. Uncharacteristically, we had a really strong day on Sunday to clinch the win, led by W Seth Jarvis, who finished the week with 2 goals, 3 assists, 4 blocks, and 7 hits. We continue our road trip with a long journey out to Boston, where the Rovers will be looking to rebound from a tough loss to Halifax last week. #WhatTeam #ClawsUp

Look, no one wanted a three game losing streak, but after the Owls beat us last week, here we are. You know what we don't want? A four game losing streak. As such, we're welcoming the Halifax Kingfishers to Manpower Arena here in Milwaukee, and to shake things up, we're going to be in the alternate brown set. Featured this week is Noah Hanifin, who has been on a hot streak since being claimed off waivers from the Wildcats and returning to Milwaukee. #ThePeoplesTeam

It was a good week to be a Wildcats fan. Not only did the Cats fend off a late surge from the Rovers to pick up our fourth straight win, but every team tied with or ahead of us in the standings lost. As a result, we're back on top of the Canadian Division and just one game back of the top-seeded Loons. This week, we finish out our three-game road trip in Portland, where we'll see if our recent success will translate to roller hockey. One of our hottest players lately has been D Jackson LaCombe, who had four assists, five hits, and eight blocks in Boston. #WhatTeam #ClawsUp

Well that sucks. We are the second highest scoring team in the league this past week, but take the loss because the Kingfishers were the top scoring team. With our fourth consecutive loss, we're now at 8-6. We'd still be in the playoffs if they started today, but they don't, so we need to string together some wins to get back near the top of the league. We'll head out on the road for our next matchup as we head to Toronto to take on the Terriers in our standard ivory set. Our featured player was never much in doubt, as after we claimed Andrei Svechnikov just 10 days ago, and he rewarded us with 3 goals, 1 assist, 8 hits, and a block to go with a +4 and 1 PPP against the Kingfishers. #ThePeoplesTeam

The Wildcats' winning streak came to a screeching halt in Portland, as we - somewhat uncharacteristically - had a poor showing on Saturday that turned a close game into a decisive Sawblades victory. Luckily, we did get some help in the standings, as Québec took a loss against Minnesota, keeping us atop the Canadian Division. Now, we return to Edmonton to face ... Québec. The Owls will be looking to avoid their third straight loss as they've slipped a bit in recent weeks, but it'll certainly be one of the biggest matchups in the league this week. Spearheading our gameplan will be the first goalie feature of the season, as Jeremy Swayman is looking like himself again. The Alaska native made 82 saves on 89 shots in a heroic effort. #WhatTeam #ClawsUp

Another week that made me remember last season, as we dropped our 5th straight game against the Terriers. We're looking to get back on track here as we head north of the border to take on the Arrows. We're still in the second spot in the American Conference, but things aren't looking good if we can't get one in the win column again. One thing we have seen is the return of Logan Thompson to the top goalkeeper spot on the depth chart. We're hoping he can continue giving us good play in net in Winnipeg. #ThePeoplesTeam

Following the nachos thrown on the ice on Tuesday in Winnipeg, distracting goalie Logan Thompson and allowing a Winnipeg Arrow goal, Manpower Arena will no longer offer nachos. We will not tolerate distractions to the players, and are ensuring that nachos are not a distraction on our home ice. Please blame the people of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, as their actions have led to this ban.

After a huge week, the Wildcats snagged a huge win against the Owls to improve to 11-5 on the year and 1-1 in our new holographic alternate jerseys. With the Guardians beating the Loons, we've actually lost the top spot in the Canadian due to head-to-head with Ottawa, but are one step closer to that coveted #1 seed. After several high-stakes games, we now get a bit of an easier opponent, as we welcome the 5-11 Denver Bighorns to the Enbridge Dome. This time, the spotlight is on C Jordan Staal, who scored a goal and two assists against Québec, but also registered an eye-popping 12 hits and four blocks. #WhatTeam #ClawsUp

Another week, another perplexing loss. The 48ers are continuing to put the puck in the net, and are second in the league in scoring, but with a 6th straight loss, we're reeling. The silver lining? We're the unluckiest team in the league currently, 4 games worse than the projections show we should be. We can still rattle off some wins and make the playoffs, and we can play with anyone in the league. We head back to Milwaukee to take on the Racers. However, we're not going to host them at the Milwaukee Mile, because we're not racing, we're playing hockey, so we'll be at Manpower Arena. Though hosting the Racers outside at the Milwaukee Mile may now be a bucket list item for us. We're featuring defenseman Alexander Romanov this week, as the Russian had his best statistical game of the season this week. #ThePeoplesTeam
