SWHL - Both SWHL league and provincial playoffs are rolling along nicely for the teams left.

League

The Kindersley Sr Klippers hosted the Wilkie Outlaws in game two of their semifinal matchup, with the visitors coming away with the 5-4 double OT win. Wilkie leads the series 2-0.

Brett Boehm scored the only goal of the first period, on the power play. In the middle frame, Jonny Calkins tied things up with a PPG of his own. However, Rick Cey would respond with the extra man advantage to give Wilkie the 2-1 lead. Jaxon Georget and Calkins each scored to give the Klippers their first lead, which was 3-2 after 40 minutes. Aiden Bangs added to the lead, but in ‘magic hour’ (the last three minutes of a game), Rory Gregoire would score twice to send the game into overtime. The first 10-minute OT had no results, but 54 seconds into the second 20-minute OT, Ryan Keller would end it.

Jared Herle stopped 32 of 36 shots in the win, while Logan Drackett stopped 64 of 69 shots in the overtime loss.

Game three of the Edam/Hafford series was supposed to be played Feb. 26 in Hafford. Due to the warm weather, it has been moved to the Access Communications Centre in North Battleford for March 3.

Provincials

In Senior ‘B’, the Kindersley Klippers traveled east to Davidson for game one of their North Final matchups against the Cyclones from the Sask Valley Hockey League. Davidson came away with the 6-4 victory. Game two is set for March 7 in Kindersley.

In Senior ‘C’, the Wilkie Outlaws welcomed the Lanigan Pirates of the Long Lake Hockey League in game one of their North Final. Ryan Keller scored the hattrick on route to a 9-2 home victory. Game two will be played March 7 in Lanigan.

In Senior ‘D’, the Edam 3 Stars also headed east for the matchup against the Shellbrook Elks of the Twin Rivers Hockey League in game two of their North Final. Shellbrook came away with a 9-7 victory. This tied the series at 1-1. The deciding game three was played in Turtleford, due to the ice conditions in Edam being poor, on March 2, with Edam coming away with the 5-1 victory. The 3 Stars win the series 2-1 and face the Delisle Bruins of the Sask Valley Hockey League in the North final.
