Wilkie Outlaws clinch Sask West Hockey League championship
For the fifth time in the last seven seasons, the Wilkie Outlaws head into the spring with champagne showers and a trophy in the team picture, as Sask West Hockey League champions.
The Outlaws topped the Macklin Mohawks 3-2 in sudden death overtime of Game 4 Sunday, to clinch the title in dramatic fashion and reign victorious in the teams’ best-of-five finals showdown.
Outlaws player/coach Derek Keller, who was named Most Valuable Defenceman for a seventh straight year at the end of the regular season, added his second Playoff MVP Award for his efforts on the team’s postseason run, culminating in the cup-clinching goal Sunday.
