Mintos prepare to face Swift Current in round one of SMAAAHL playoffs
With the regular season said and done and their ticket punched into the postseason, the Prince Albert Mintos are now preparing for the long journey to the top of the mountain in the SMAAAHL playoffs.
The Mintos finished the season fifth meaning they’ll faceoff with the fourth-place Swift Current Legionnaires in the first round. The Mintos and Legionnaires both finished the regular season with 55 points, however, Swift Current had the better record at 26-15-3 (W-L-OTL) compared to P.A.’s 25-14-5.
The Mintos wrapped up the regular season on a high note, winning 7-2 over the Hounds in Notre Dame. Head coach Tim Leonard reflected on the regular season and said overall, it might’ve been the toughest year he’s coached in the league.
“You have to be ready to go every night. [The coaches] thought the players did a good job, could’ve been more consistent but overall, we’re pretty happy. [The] last two weekends, we won the home-and-home with Warman which was huge, and then won our last one with Notre Dame which is a good way to finish off.”
