The Preeceville Midget Pats played host to the Moosomin Rangers and saw the Pats dominate the game to a 5 to 0 final score on November 23.
"Being it was the first meeting of the two teams from last year鈥檚 Major Hockey League (MHL) final it surely brought a playoff- like atmosphere to the game and the big crowd in attendance," said Kirby Pankratz, head coach. 鈥淲e were short a couple of players but with the heart and intensity the atmosphere changed from the disappointing loss previously in the week to Yorkton Remax, the Preeceville team came to play.鈥�
On December 3 Preeceville got that chance to revenge that loss when Yorkton Remax Terriers were the visitors.
The game had a real back-and-forth pace throughout the first period with the hometown boys left trailing 1 to 0 after the first period.
鈥淚n the start of the second period we came out killing a penalty but on a long line change stretch we scored a short goal to tie it up,鈥� said Pankratz.
鈥淧enalties became a problem for both teams right to the game鈥檚 end, but we face this kind of adversity quite often and we got the guys to keep the 鈥榮tripes鈥� out of their heads and to stay the course. In the end the only thing that would make up for it was getting the win as the Pats cruised to a 6 to 1 victory," concluded Pankratz.
