The Dauphin Clippers journey to a championship in Las Vegas ended in heartbreak on Monday.
On Louis Riel Day in Manitoba, the Clippers came up short against the Bow Valley Flames of Calgary, 3-2, in a shootout in a semi-final. It was a very impressive performance for Dauphin as the Flames won all four of their round-robin games, scoring 17 goals and giving up just four in the process. Jesse Hockridge and Ronin Mouck scored for Dauphin in the defeat as they finished in the top 4 as no bronze medal match was played.
In the round-robin, Dauphin won three of their four games with one game ending in a tie. A great weekend it was for Dauphin and the experience provided moments that the players and coaching staff will cherish forever.
Dauphin will now return home for one more league game on Friday when they welcome Crocus Plains to town.
