Hawks win first SJHL championship in 28 years; beat Bruins in Game 7
The Nipawin Hawks did something they haven’t done since 1990, win the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League championship.
They defeated the Estevan Bruins 2-1 in undoubtedly the loudest area of Saskatchewan on Tuesday night, the Centennial Arena in Nipawin to win the series in seven games.
“It still hasn’t sunk in yet, words can’t describe how awesome this feels right now,” Hawks captain Carter Doerksen said.
Hawks defenceman Josh McDougall was the game’s hero in the third period, as he scored the championship winning goal with just under 12 minutes remaining in the third period.
