Outlaws win fifth straight league championship
For the third straight season, the Wilkie Outlaws are Sask. West Hockey League champions, but their title streak goes beyond just those three years.
Before joing the SWHL for the 2014-15 season, they won back-to-back North Sask River Hockey League titles, making last night’s win their fifth in a row.
“I think we have the most dedicated group in Saskatchewan and to me, five years in a row proves that,” Outlaws player and coach Derek Keller said. “You don’t get that by fluke. It takes a lot of hard work, takes a lot of dedication. That’s what the guys on our team have and they should be proud of that.”
The core of the team from that 2012-13 season, which was the first championship of the five, still remains and got to hoist the trophy again last night. About 10 to 12 players on the roster are the same.
