Predators repeat as PGLL Champions, cap off undefeated season

Jul 27, 2024 | 10:14 PM

The Prince Albert Predators etched themselves into the history books on Saturday night.

The Jr. Lacrosse Club managed to capture their second consecutive Prairie Gold Lacrosse League (PGLL) Championship with a dominant 16-5 Game 2 win over the Swift Current Wolverines at Kinsmen Arena. P.A. previously won Game 1 last weekend in Swift Current, 10-7.

The back-to-back titles was the cherry on top of what was a flawless season. After going 12-0 in the regular season, the Predators managed three more wins in the playoffs to cap off the year at a perfect 15-0. Prince Albert becomes the third team in PGLL history to go an entire season without surrendering a loss, joining the 2003 and 2004 Moose Jaw Mustangs.

It was all Blue and Gold right from the word go, outscoring Swift Current 6-2 in the first period while scoring the first two goals of the game just 16 seconds apart. That was followed by outscoring the Wolverines 4-1 in the second and 6-2 again in the third.
