On the Road Again

‘Play like the last two weeks’: Mustangs set for southern road swing

Oct 15, 2021 | 11:00 AM

The Melfort Mustangs are looking to get back into the win column as they embark on their first southern road swing of the 2021/2022 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) season.

It all begins with a Friday night meeting with early season favourites, the Estevan Bruins. On Saturday, the Weyburn Red Wings will welcome the Mustangs to Horizon Credit Union Centre. After their 4-1 loss on Wednesday, Mustang forward Seth McCulloch says they need to get back to what made them succesful on their five game win streak.

“Play like the last two weeks,” McCulloch said. “We had a good run there and now it’s time to get back on that and hopefully go for it again.”

Meanwhile, with just one day off between games, McCulloch added they’re able to put their recent loss behind them almost immediately.

“Everybody’s got to forget about it quick, and play our game,” he said.
