Valentino brothers carry family legacy with Stampeders and MJHL foes
The Valentino family has deep ties to the Swan Valley Stampeders with Justin scoring 23 goals in his rookie MJHL season before finishing with the Dauphin Kings. His younger brother Jordie, a blueliner, has already surpassed his rookie point total this season as coach Erik Petersen notes his ongoing development and valuable two-man pairing with Gavin Froese. In the MJHL, a Portage Winkler brawl led to suspensions for four players and both coaches. Steinbach’s Daniel Taillefer named Recycle Everywhere Player of the Week after a goal and five assists. Portage tops the standings with 11-point lead over Steinbach and Winkler, while Virden and Winnipeg chase fourth.
