Prince Albert Tournament Update

This Saskatoon Maniacs defeated the Battlefords Barons this morning 5-1.  The Maniacs got a great performance from Brett Pongracz, holding the Maniacs in the game early when the Battlefords had chances to make it 2-0.  The Maniacs would find their legs in the 2nd period, tieing it early and then scoring 2 goals in about 30 seconds midway through the second and never looked back.  The Maniacs got strong performances from Sloboshan who scored a couple and Michael Korol who used his speed effectively.  Ethan Constant was a constant force on defense.  For the Battlefords, Matt Vidal and Keifer Hintz both had strong games as did Troy Gerein.

So the Maniacs will look to upset either the Prairie Storm or Weyburn in the final.  At last report, it was 2-0 Balgonie at the midway point of the second period.

In the B Final it will be Yorkton who defeated Prince Albert 10-4 this morning playing against a very under-manned Humboldt team who are without captain Drew Litwin and many others.  They had just 10 skaters in their 6-3 win over Sask Valley this morning.

More to come this evening after the B- Final and A-Final.
