Depleted Mintos squad empties tank against Tisdale
The Prince Albert Mintos (11-10-0-1) were as shorthanded as you could get during their 3-2 defeat to the Tisdale Trojans (18-3-2-1).
They had just 10 forwards, five defenceman due to both injuries and suspensions. Even head coach Ken Morrison wasn’t there, as he was serving his second of a three-game ban after receiving a game misconduct at the end of the 6-5 defeat to the Notre Dame Hounds on Nov. 24.
Assistant coach Bryan Swystun was also worried that the Mintos might not be mentally up for the game as they last played nine days ago, in a 10-3 loss to the Saskatoon Blazers.
But through Swystun’s eyes, that wasn’t the story Tuesday at the Art Hauser Centre.
