The Prince Albert Mintos had quite the opening game of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League playoffs on Sunday in Saskatoon. Despite being underdogs in the 3rd-6th place matchup, the Mintos came away with a 7-6 victory over the Saskatoon Blazers.
The Mintos actually had a 5-0 lead through the first 37 minutes of play, but the Blazers were able to storm back and tie it 5-5.
Mintos forward Blake Duquette broke the deadlock with a power play with five minutes left. Then with the Blazers net empty, Gavin Ingram scored a shorthanded goal to put the Mintos ahead 7-5.
