Allan, Willow Cree set to battle for TRHL title
The finals for the Twin Rivers Hockey League (TRHL) is set to get underway on Saturday.
It’s first place versus second place in this years final as the Allan Flames faceoff with the Willow Cree Chiefs. The Flames ended the regular season at the top with a 13-2-1 (W-L-OTL) record while the Chiefs tied for second at 12-4-0.
Allan and Willow Cree met just once in the regular season where the Chiefs dominated with a 9-2 triumph. Darwin Morin had a goal and five assists in that game for Willow Cree, while Trent Campbell had five goals and Talon Thomas also had five assists. For Allan, Evan Pasternak had a goal and an assist as Cam Brossart scored the other Flames marker and Boston Maxwell added a helper of his own.
En route to the finals, Allan had to take down the defending league champions Birch Hills Blackhawks in the Eastern Final, where the Flames won the series 3-1. Birch Hills got the upper hand early though, taking Game 1 of the best-of-five, 6-3. From there on, Allan had a firm grasp on the Blackhawks winning the next three games and taking the series in commanding fashion, winning 6-2 in Game 2, 7-1 in Game 3, and 8-3 in Game 4. Prior to that in the first round, the Flames knocked off Cudworth 2-1 in a best-of-three.
