A 5-3 loss on Sunday night in front of a packed crowd at the RJ Lalonde Arena officially ended the Bonnyville Jr. A Pontiacs season.
Although Bonnyville controlled play for the majority of the series, the bounces just didn’t go their way, and the Sherwood Park Crusaders swept them in three straight games.
“I thought that we played two of three periods (on Sunday) that gave us an opportunity to win,” said Pontiacs head coach and GM Rick Swan. “I thought we were the better team for eight of the nine periods that we played (in the series), but with playoff hockey sometimes the result doesn’t represent the performance of the players.”
