Sharks end season on a high with OT win
The Battlefords AAA Sharks will enter the playoffs on a winning note after a dramatic weekend in which both of their games went to overtime. In a back-to-back matchup against Swift Current, the Sharks fell 6-5 on Saturday but won 3-2 on Sunday.
“We wanted to go down there and we wanted to get two wins this weekend but we’re happy with how we played,” Sharks head coach Gary Berggren said. “To be playing well and going into playoffs, that’s a huge thing.”
The Sharks will face-off against the Prince Albert Northern Bears in round one, who finished second in the league with an 18-6-4 record. It will be a best 3-of-5 series.
Battlefords was not able to beat P.A. in four tries this season, but Berggen said being able to score goals like they did this weekend is huge.
