Couple Of Notes (WHL, USHL)

Sunday brought the end of the line this season for defenseman William Wrenn of Anchorage and Josh Hanson of Eagle River -- their Portland Winterhawks team lost Game 7 of the Western Hockey League Finals, 4-1 at Edmonton.

Both Wrenn and Hanson played all 22 playoff games for the Winterhawks, and both went +4. Wrenn, a San Jose Sharks draft pick, had four assists.

In the USHL, Waterloo goaltender Stephon Williams of Fairbanks racked 32 saves and surrendered just one goal Sunday, when Green Bay earned a 2-0 victory (empty-net goal at end) to even the Clark Cup Finals 1-1. Williams lowered his playoff goals-against average to 2.01 and raised his save percentage to .934. He's 9-3 this postseason.
