Everett loses a scorer

CHIEFS, WHL

Not much with the Chiefs, but Everett lost one of its best scorers for the rest of the season. Ondrej Fiala has decided to return to the Czech Republic for knee surgery, and will not be around to help the Tips pursue the Memorial Cup. The Herald also has notes on the Silvertips.

• The Times has its WHL notebook .

• The Tri-City Americans are ready for stretch run.
