Mustangs hold opportunity to eliminate Ice Wolves from playoff contention
With a victory on Wednesday night at home against the La Ronge Ice Wolves, the Melfort Mustangs would lock in their first-round playoff matchup.
La Ronge is currently five points back of the Kindersley Klippers for eighth place in the SJHL standings, with just three games left on their schedule.
If they don’t secure a point this evening, they will officially be eliminated from playoff contention and the number-one-seeded Mustangs will be destined for a date with the Klippers.
“It’s always great to end someone else’s season,” said Melfort defenceman Nolan Roberts. “We’re playing for everyone inside our room right now, and obviously it’s great to be able to secure the playoff picture as early as we can, but it’s not really something we think about that much. We’re just playing for ourselves right now and everyone inside of our own room.”
