Minor Hockey playoffs this weekend

Drumheller's NGC Peewee Raptors celebrate on the ice after winning over Medicine Hat 4-3 indouble overtime.

There’s lots on the go for Drumheller’s minor hockey teams this weekend.
    Drumheller teams are involved in either league or provincial playoffs from March 13 to Mar 16.
    Drumheller’s NGC Peewee Raptors are heading to division finals Saturday versus Canmore after winning their series over Medicine Hat on the weekend.
    Team manager Wendy Nail said there was an outstanding effort made by the entire team throughout this series.
    The McDonald Novice Raptors will begin playing for the league banner in Novice Tier 3. They are the home team in Hussar on Saturday, March 15,  at 11 am.
    “During the regular season we had a high flying offense. Our defense and goal tending really stepped up the last series. We’ve become a complete team,” said coach Kit Clark.
    The Encana Atom Raptors are waiting the outcome of the Crossfield and Strathmore series to see who they face for the Atom Division 6 banner.
    Crossfield and Strathmore have their final game Thursday night, March 13. The winner will play the Encana Atoms on Saturday, March 15, in Hussar.
    “Our kids are really excited. It should be a good final round,” said coach Jeff Paarup.
    Encana won their series with Hanna in two straight games.
    Paarup said in regular season play, the Encana Atoms won all three games against Strathmore, and went one win, one loss, and one tie against Crossfield.
    Drumheller’s Bantam Midgets host the 2014 Investors Group Hockey Alberta Bantam D Provincial Tournament this weekend at Drumheller Memorial Arena.
