Some very exciting Provincial Midget hockey this week end wrapped up a wild season of hockey in our community!

It started on Friday night in Kerrobert where a packed arena witnessed the undefeated KDL Midgets Hosting the Semi Finalists Foam Lake! KDL was only up by one goal coming home from the first game. The Flyers would open the scoring before Mathew Duhaime would erupt the already screaming crowd. From there they never looked back. Duhaime would pot 2 on the night and Tylo Anderson would light up the board 3 times with his magic. Lyndon Kloster, Reid Kissick, Ryder Kissick and Mitch Bradley would round out the scoring to ignite the crowd 9 times and ensure the celebration. KDL ends a perfect season with a Midget C Provincial Title, a League Title and an undefeated season!

Saturday saw a fast skating extremely rough affair in Unity for the Midget AA Provincial finals. The Unity AA Lazers came out hard with bone crushing hits to take on the Hounds of Notre Dame. After coming home tying the Hounds in game one we saw end to end skating and passing and razer sharp goal tending in game two. Either team could have opened the scoring but Notre Dame captured first blood. Notre Dame started to creep ahead in the third and opened up a crack that was too much for Unity to repair. A tough, physical, entertaining game with Unity ending a hugely successful season down 5-2 on the score board.

After that wild game the Unity A team took on Yorkton in the Final SHA Midget A Provincials. Unity being down a goal from the first game, opened the scoring and then went up 2-0 to take a one goal lead and held that lead until 5 minutes left in the third. Yorkton then slipped one behind Unity’s minder to deadlock the series and forcing sudden death overtime. The first overtime period ended with no scoring. Only in the second overtime period, after huge chances at both ends of the ice, was the local crowd suddenly stunned with a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Yorkton Manos. A day of amazing hockey!

Sunday afternoon wrapped it up in the newly renovated Dodsland Arena!
In the final game of SHA Midget AA Girls Championship Playoffs Keili Murphy racked up 2 goals in this final game against Regina to hammer them by a score of 5-1 which would earn her a 5th Provincial Title.
It’s amazing that these four SHA Provincial Midget Final games were played right here!
Midget AA, Midget A, Midget C and Midget AA Girls final games!

What is Fair Play?
There are four main participant groups involved in minor hockey games: the players, the coaches, the officials, and the parents/spectators. How these four groups interact determines how positive, or how negative an event becomes. A Fair Play program in any hockey association promotes SAFETY and RESPECT and a positive environment for all participants.
Fair Play Principles
• Respect the Rules
• Respect the Opponents
• Respect the Officials and Their Decisions
• Have Everyone Participate
• Maintain Your Self-Control at all Times
There is no level of hockey below the house level. If kids aren’t allowed to play at this level they have to drop out. The objective for all of Minor Hockey is skill development for all participants, not winning at any cost or to groom kids for elite hockey! All Minor Hockey Associations must constantly ask themselves “are all participants being treated fairly?”
