Defensive Weekend

Mustangs complete Western swing sweep with win over Kindersley

Oct 14, 2026 | 2:39 AM

The Melfort Mustangs went 2-0 over the weekend, sweeping their Western swing.

After a 2-0 shutout victory in Battlefords on Friday, the Mustangs followed up on Saturday with a 2-1 win in Kindersley.

“Every single guy, you could say something good about this weekend. They all stepped up, both of our goalies were great, and everyone played in front of them. They were blocking shots, they were making plays, and they did an excellent job in the D zone, so it was really good to see,” explained assistant coach Clark Huxley.

“The guys did a great job to grease out a couple of road wins. We got four points out of the deal, and it was awesome. It was ugly at times, but we bent and didn’t break, and we did it all together. Honestly, it was gutsy; two hard buildings to play in, six periods of road hockey that’s not easy on the body, and everyone stepped up when needed.”

Melfort is now 6-3 on the season, having won five of their last six games. All of the last seven contests have also been extremely tight, as if you were to take away empty-net goals, all the matches would have ended in just single-goal differences.

Next up for the Stangs is another test of a weekend as they begin on the road Friday in Flin Flon against the defending champion Bombers before welcoming the significantly and recently bolstered Humboldt Broncos to town on Saturday.
