ESTEVAN - The Carnduff Red Devils will face the Redvers Rockets in the Big Six Hockey League final.

Carnduff advanced with a 6-0 victory over the host Yellow Grass Wheat Kings Sunday night in Game 4 of their semifinal series. The Red Devils won the series 3-1.

Carnduff didn’t open the scoring in Game 4 until about seven minutes remained in the second period. They would lead 4-0 by the end of the middle frame. Mark Moriarty, Dominic Turner, Trevor Geiger and Dan Moriarty had Carnduff’s goals.

Dan Moriarty would get another early in the third, and Ben Hiltz rounded out the scoring.

Yellow Grass forced Game 4 by winning 4-3 in overtime in Carnduff on Saturday night. The first period was scoreless, and Carnduff led 3-2 after two periods on goals by Kody Martin, Kyle Garagan and Branden Trask. Mike Onstad and Zach Douglas scored for Yellow Grass in the middle frame.

Braden Mellon’s goal for Yellow Grass with 67 seconds to play in the third forced overtime.

Douglas notched his second of the game early in overtime for the victory.

Cody Dumaine (Carnduff) and Terrick Wilderman (Yellow Grass) were the goalies both games.

Redvers won the other semifinal series by sweeping the Moosomin Rangers. That series ended on March 5.

Redvers was the top team in the Big Six in the regular season at 14-1-1, while Carnduff was second at 13-2-1.

The two teams were slated to meet in the final in 2020, but the final was cancelled before Game 1 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Carnduff is in the Big Six final for the fourth straight season; the Red Devils last won in 2007. Redvers last won the championship in 2018. 

Dates for the league final were not immediately available.
