The return of the Titans; enjoy first win since November

Feb 14, 2018 | 9:16 PM

It’s been a long while since the Prince Albert Titans got a win, but they managed to squeak out a 7-6 shootout victory over the Saskatoon Royals Wednesday at the Kinsmen Arena.

That ended a 22-game losing streak. The Titans’ previous win came back on Nov. 19, a 6-1 victory over the Regina Silver Foxes.

Their other win this year also game against the Royals at the Kinsmen, 5-3 back on Oct. 5.

The Titans can thank Tanner Hendriks, a call up from the Prince Albert Midget AA Dairy Queen Chill, for his huge night for the Titans. He scored four goals in regulation, and also scored the only goal in the three-round shootout.

The Titans now improve to 3-36 on the year. Although they have struggled for wins this year, they were never in danger to make history for the wrong reasons.

The Ochapowace Thunder went 0-40 in the 2015-16 season. And even if the Titans don’t win their final game, on Sunday at the Kinsmen against the Delisle Chiefs, they will join two other teams who have finished on three wins in Prairie Junior Hockey League history. The West Central Rage did it in 2010-11, and the Cypress Cyclones were 3-36-1 in 2013-14.
