By 5:30 on Sunday afternoon the Winnipeg Thrashers had a team full of pride and excitement as they capped off a 4-1 win in the championship final game of the Western Regionals. With the victory the Thrashers advance to the Telus Cup National Championships and will represent the Western Region in the tournament.
With the Thrashers carrying the momentum through the first two periods of the final game the Prince Albert Mintos applied a full offensive pursuit in the final frame to attempt a comeback. The Mintos fired thirteen shots against Teagan Sacher and had nothing to show for it as they were all turned away. Sacher kept his workload to a minimum as he controlled a strong percentage of the scoring attempts by collecting loose pucks and controlling many direct shots on net. With the Thrashers being shorthanded in the dieing minutes of the game the Mintos went up 6 on 4 and put everything low and on net - keeping the crowd on edge till the buzzer went. At the games end, with the Thrashers coming out as the Western Telus Cup representatives, Sacher was awarded the games MVP award for the team.
The Thrashers finished the Western Regionals with an undefeated record of 3-0-1, and with a strong defensive core from the back end up only allowed a total of 9 goals against in the four games played.
