The Melfort Mustangs had a rousing sendoff on Thursday as they prepare for their Canterra Seeds final series against the Flin Flon Bombers.

Fans greeted the team’s bus as they departed for Flin Flon. The bus was escorted by emergency personnel complete with sirens.

The Mustangs are coming off a hard-fought seven-game victory over the Humboldt Broncos, with four games going to overtime, and all but one decided by only one goal.

Meanwhile, the Bombers have been idle since Apr. 9 after sweeping the Battlefords North Stars.
