Senior hockey semifinal playoff series underway
After all four top seeds advanced to the second round of the Saskatchewan Prairie Hockey League playoffs, some close games in the semifinals were bound to happen.
That’s exactly what happened this past weekend, as there were three separate one-goal games, two between the top-seeded Hafford Hawks and fourth-ranked Battleford Beaver Blues, and one between the Meota Combines and Edam Three Stars.
The Blues won game one and game two against Hafford by identical 4-3 scores, pulling out a road win in game one thanks to four assists from Mike George, and winning 4-3 at home on Saturday thanks to six combined points from the top line of George, Cody Danberg, and Brent Salzl.
Game three of that series is set for Wednesday in Hafford at 8 p.m., where a Blues win will clinch the series and catapult them into the league finals.
