Morinville Kings start playoffs this weekend
Saturday night’s home-ice regular-season finale saw the Senior AA club defeat the visiting Bonnyville Pontiacs 4-0. Although both sides remained scoreless through the first 20, the Kings pocketed a pair in each of the remaining frames to earn another two points to wrap the season.
The Kings ended the year with a 9-4-1 record and third place in the North Central Senior AA Hockey League.
That standing puts the Kings up against the sixth-placed Westlock Warriors in the opening best of five series.
