BOYS
BRANDON WHEAT KINGS
The first-place Wheat Kings (36-0-1) continued their winning ways against the Southwest Cougars and the fifth-place Winnipeg Thrashers (21-14-1) in the Manitoba U18 AAA Hockey League over the weekend.
Yellowhead Chiefs captain Hannah Raegh (21) was stopped on this shorthanded breakaway by Westman Wildcats goalie Danica Averill during second-period action. Trailing the play during this U18 AAA Manitoba Female Hockey League game held Saturday night in Hartney, Raegh's teammate Mia McGregor scored off the rebound to put Yellowhead up 1-0, but the Wildcats scored four unanswered goals in the middle period en route to a 5-2 victory.
