Team Cherry on the ice
KELOWNA, B.C. -- Team Cherry coach Mark Recchi is putting his team through its game-day practice here at Prospera Place. Here's a look at the forward lines they're likely going to use:

Tim Bozon - Gemel Smith - Thomas Wilson
Daniil Zharkov - Brendan Gaunce - Andrew Ryan
Dane Fox - Scott Laughton - Dominik Volek
Coda Gordon - Mike Winther - Martin Frk

The defense pairings were mixed as Nick Ebert missed the practice. We'll find out later what happened to the winner of the hardest shot contest at last night's skills contest. Ebert, a native of Livingston, N.J., is the only U.S.-born player at the Top Prospects Game.

Ryan Murray and Matt Dumba saw time together, as did Brett Kulak and Damon Severson. Dillon Fournier also skated with Murray.

Matthew Murray and Brandon Whitney will split the game in net. We'll find out from coach Recchi in a bit who plays the first half of the game.

Check back later for the lines coach Pat Quinn puts together for Team Orr.
