Despite recent injuries and a short-handed lineup, the Heat displayed remarkable determination and resiliancy last weekend against the nationally-ranked Winnipeg Wesmen. Guard Jalen Shirley is a player to watch as he sits third in Canada West in scoring after the opening weekend of the year and will be a key player as the Heat shoot to get into the win column.
