The Spokane Chiefs return home this weekend to play the Portland Winterhawks and Kootenay Ice on Friday and Saturday night, respectively. You can read a quick advance that is running in tomorrow’s section here . Last Sunday’s game between Spokane and Portland at the Arena resulted in a few, well, altercations. I would expect Friday’s game to be very intense.

The Chiefs trail fourth-place Vancouver by one point in the Western Conference standings .

Not to be a tease, but I thought I’d let readers know that I’m working on a piece on Chiefs goalie Mac Engel that will run next week. When it’s done, you all will be the first to know.
