It was a loud crowd and the ones that were cheering on the Dauphin Clippers had plenty to cheer about.
Ethan Zalischuk scored twice as the Clippers throttled the Neepawa Tigers 7-1, to take a one to nothing lead in the best of three series. Noah Hanneson also scored twice for the Clippers.
Lyric Smith, Ronin Mouck, and Thomas Schmidt all scored for Dauphin.
Dauphin can complete another sweep on Wednesday as Neepawa hosts game two.
