Playoff Run Continues

AAA Sharks kick off semi-finals series with Regina

Mar 15, 2024 | 6:09 PM

For the first time in franchise history, the Battlefords AAA Sharks are circling the waters on semi-final playoff action in the Saskatchewan Female U18 AAA Hockey League (SFU18AAAHL).

Coming off a big 2-0 series win in their first round best-of-three with the Swift Current Wildcats, the Sharks now draw the top-seeded Regina Rebels in round two, who are coming off a bye in the opening round.

Sharks’ captain, Greir Slabaida said heading into the semi-finals series, the team is feeling good, and excited to get back out there against a strong Rebels team.

“It’s truly an exciting feeling [to advance to the semis] and the whole team is ready to battle against Regina,” Slabaida said. “The AAA Sharks haven’t made it to round two in a long time, or in league history to the best of my knowledge, so it’s cool to see that milestone. It’s nice to see everyone’s hard work has paid off.”

Game 1 in Regina Friday will be played at the Co-Operators Centre at 7 p.m. Game 2 will see the series shift to Battleford Arena Sunday for an afternoon puck drop at 3 p.m.
