Chiefs back in action tonight in Western Hockey League final

There were three stories in today's section on the Spokane Chiefs, who open their Western Hockey League championship series with the Lethbridge Hurricanes tonight at the Spokane Arena.

First, my WHL Bantam Draft story got hacked in the edit process, including quotes from my phone conversation with Chiefs head scout Chris Moulton, so I'll post the unedited version below.

There was also this story on the Hurricanes and finally, a John Blanchette column on Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz, one I hope you faithful followers will have some thoughts on.

The Bantam story is below.
