MONDAY - Grizz and Colts Talk

GRIZZ HOPE TO SINK CLAWS INTO 3RD PLACE

With only one game left in the regular season there's still plenty to be determined for the Olds Grizzlys.

Where they'll finish in the standings and who their first round opponent will be. . .it all comes down to tomorrow night.

At post time the Grizzlys are tied with the Calgary Canucks for 3rd spot in the AJHL's South Division and with a win in Camrose against the Kodiaks would lock up that coveted 3rd seed and of course a first round playoff date with the Drumheller Dragons.

Beating Camrose in their own barn won't be an easy task as the Grizz will be up against what Head Coach Kevin Hasselberg calls a "Hungry Team".

The Kodiaks have lost 2 straight - the latest of which saw Camrose surrender the game tieing goal with 1 second remaining in the 3rd and then go on to loose 4-3 in Overtime to the Calgary Canucks.

Olds meantime is coming of a 1 and 1 Lakeland swing - falling to the Bonnyville Pontiacs 4-0 on Friday then rebounding to beat Lloydminster 3-2 on Saturday.

Now, should Olds loose, they'll be hoping the Calgary Canucks suffer the same fate to the Sheerwood Park Crusaders - which because of more regular season wins - would still give Olds 3rd place.

Regardless, after a month of speculation - it'll all be decided tomorrow night.

They're up against the Red Deer Vipers for the final and deciding game of their Heritage Junior Hockey League opening round playoff series.

After the Colts hammered the Vipers 7-3 in Red Deer in Game 1 - the Vipers returned the favor - downing the Colts 8-3 at the Didsbury Memorial Arena yesterday.

Game 3 goes from the Red Deer Arena at 7:30 PM.
