It was a disappointing start to the Telus Midget ‘AAA’ Western Regionals Thursday night in Steinbach for the host Eastman Selects as the Selects were a non-factor in a 5-1 loss to the Thunder Bay Kings.
The Kings romped out a 3-0 first period lead and held on for the decisive victory. Burke Heide scored the lone goal for the Selects in the second period.
In the earlier game, in what many believe was a preview of Sunday’s final, the Regina Pat Canadians edged the Winnipeg Wild 2-1.
Today’s games will feature the Thunder Bay Kings vs. the Winnipeg Wild at 5:00 p.m. and then the Eastman Selects vs. the Regina Pat Canadians at 8:00 p.m.
On Saturday, Regina will face Thunder Bay at 12:30 p.m. and the Eastman Selects go up against the Winnipeg Wild at 3:45 p.m.
The top two teams will meet in Sunday’s final at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets for all games are available at the door at the T.G. Smith Centre.
The winners advance to the Telus Cup National Midget Championship, Apr. 24-30 at Prince George, B.C.
