Cubs starting to hit stride as halfway point nears

Article By: James Tubb –

The Medicine Hat Cubs have the second half of the HJHL season to continue growing.

The Cubs head into a two-game weekend that will be the halfway point of the season, sitting fourth in the South division with a 10-6-1 record. They’re just a point back of the Okotoks Bisons (10-6-2) and Strathmore Wheatland Kings (11-7) who are tied for second in the division. They are also just two points back of the division-leading Coaldale Copperheads (11-6-1).

General manager Randy Wong didn’t expect they’d have as many losses as they do at this point of the year. But the former head coach says they’ve started to gel as the season’s continued.

“It’s just taken some time to for them to gel and to become a cohesive unit, and maybe that’s expected with some more young guys in the lineup, but they have some skill,” Wong said. “Overall, the skill level is higher and the depth that we have this year is as good as we’ve seen. So maybe I was naive in thinking that we wouldn’t have any losses because of that, but nonetheless I think it’s starting to come.
