Sharks nearly upset Bears; drop sixth straight
It was perhaps their strongest game of the season, yet the standings won’t show it.
The Battlefords Sharks nearly took down the defending champion Prince Albert Northern Bears on Sunday afternoon, falling in the end by a score of 6-5.
Sunday’s tight game came just one day after an 8-0 blowout loss to the same team one day earlier.
“We really skated well today,” Sharks head coach Gary Berggren said following Sunday’s contest, in which the Bears broke a 5-5 deadlock with 17 seconds left to take the two points. “All the girls were working hard and as it showed, it came right down to the end.”
