Senator's Cup

An emotional evening, Bruins claim victory

Apr 1, 2019 | 10:42 AM

It was an evening of mixed emotions Sunday, as the Norway House Bruins secured a 5-3 victory over the Canoe Lake Young Guns at Prince Albert’s fifth annual Senator’s Cup.

The teams faced off in an action-packed finish to the series that had both teams digging deep until the final seconds of the game.

Although it was a terrific night of high-paced hockey action, it was also an evening of great tragedy. Shortly before puck drop, it was announced a young child had been struck and killed by a vehicle, only metres away from the front entrance of the Art Hauser Centre.

Bruins Head Coach, Andrew Simpson, said it was both a tragic, and happy night.

Both teams left everything on the ice and it was the Bruins who prevailed after a successful tournament.

Bruins MVP player, Skylar Tait-Reaume, said it was a hard fought game, but he felt the win was deserved.

“It was a difficult game. We didn’t have the lead going into the second, but we all came back firing and took the lead and just held onto it,” he said.

“We’re just a group of boys that have been playing all of our lives together. We come firing every weekend and we always dig deep.”
