Combines face elimination after weekend losses to Silvertips
The Meota Combines have a tall task ahead of them if they want their Saskatchewan Prairie Hockey League season to continue: win three in a row.
The senior men’s hockey team fell 5-3 in both games one and two of their opening round playoff series against the Shellbrook Silvertips.
Both games so far in the best three-of-five series were within reach.
“It’s been a one-goal difference here in both games [with] those empty netters they got,” Combines forward Kyle Gregoire, who scored the opening goal in Sunday’s game, said following the loss. “As long as we [fix] those minor mistakes, we think we can come back in this series.”
