Chill Frozen Out Of Tournament Title
The PA Midget AA Dairy Queen Chill attended the 25th Banff Hockey Academy Christmas Challenge Cup in Banff this past weekend.
The Chill finished third overall after pool play after three hard fought battles.
Aaron Campbell led the Chill in the first game over Southern Saskatchewan’s Prairie Storm with a goal and two assists in a 3-2 victory. Laine Petreman provided the heroics in the Chill’s next game versus the Winnipeg Warriors scoring the winning shootout goal in a 4-3 penalty filled game.
The Chill suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Sharks which put the Chill in to third place overall and set to play league rivals, Saskatoon Sabercats, in the semifinals. The Sabercats have defeated the Chill twice this year in league play but the Chill took the cat by the tail and came out on top in the semi finals with a 9-4 win, led by Jack Kowblick’s hat trick and Caden Joanis’ five point game.
