For the first game on Tuesday, it was team MJHL that came away with the victory, winning 4-2.

Matt Thomas and Blake Matheson opened up the scoring in the first period to take an early 2-0 for Team MJHL. Then Connor Miller answered back for the SJHL getting a goal to make it a 2-1 game going into the second.

In the second period, the MJHL striked first again, finding the back of the net from Dru Mushumanski to extend the lead to 3-1. But the SJHL was able to close the gap with a goal from Battlefords North Stars forward, Rylan Williams, making it 3-2. Then just after the mid-way point of the second, the MJHL tallied another goal, again from Dru Mushumanski to take a 4-2 lead.

In the third, it was even play from both teams but there was no scoring, so team MJHL took the win with a final of 4-2.

The SJHL bounced back the following game on Wednesday though, taking the victory 2-0 over the MJHL.

In that game, there were no goals throughout the entire first 30 minutes of play until Dustin Renas lit the lamp just past the 10-minute mark of the second to take a 1-0 lead for the SJHL.

Then nearing the end of the second period, Jadon Iyogun struck the nylon for Team SJHL to go up 2-0.

In the third period, again there was no scoring from either side and the SJHL took the game 2-0.

Overall, it was a great weekend of hockey for both the SJHL and the MJHL as tons of scouts were in attendance and it gave players from both leagues a chance to showcase their abilities with hopes of making it to the next level.

At the end of the Showcase, they also announced that head coach and general manager of the Flin Flon Bombers, Mike Reagan was named the head coach for Team Canda West for the World Junior A Challenge (WJAC) in December, and Carter Hansen, assistant coach for the Humboldt Broncos was named video coach for the WJAC as well.
