On Tuesday, November 3^rd, the Americans were in Kamloops to face the Blazers at the Interior Savings Centre. Shinnimin netted one goal and added an assist as the Americans downed the Blazers 8-3. On Friday, November 6^th the Americans were back in the friendly confines of the Toyota Center set to host the Vancouver Giants in a battle for top spot in the WHL Eastern Conference. Shinnimin scored twice and collected a pair of assists as the Americans defeated the Giants in convincing fashion 8-2. He was also named the games 1^st Star.

Shinnimin’s six points over the last two games has him sitting 2^nd among all WHL scorers with 34 points (15 goals, 9 assists) in 18 games played.

Shinnimin, an 18-year-old from Winnipeg, Manitoba, is in his second full season with the Tri-City Americans.
