In a Clippers vs. Klippers match-up, this game was to decide which team
would play Grande Prairie in the semi-finals on Saturday, and which team would go home. Kindersley had not
yet won a game in the tournament, but only needed this win to advance. Nanaimo was throwing everything they
had at the Kindersley net, but Kevin Dziaduck was up to the challenge. Jason Fleck opened the scoring for the
Klippers five minutes into the first period. The big Green machine added to their lead when Curtis Bazylinski
scored a power-play goal to make it 2-0. Despite being out shot 20-5 in the first period, Nanaimo trailed
2-0. Kindersley scored their third goal 1:44 into the second period to go up 3-0. Jason Fleck scored his
second goal of the game on the power-play to give the Klippers a commanding 4-0 lead. Nanaimo did not go
away, as they finally slipped a puck past Dziaduck with two and a half minutes left in the second period to
pull to within three. Nanaimo out shot Kindersley 15-7 in the second for a total of 35-12 after two periods.
The third period was Nanaimo’s last chance, and they fired everything they had at the Kindersley netminder.
Nanaimo’s Brennen Francon scored to bring his team to within two at 9:28 of the third. But it was not enough,
even though Nanaimo out shot Kindersley 53-20, they lost 4-2. Nanaimo goes home with a 1-3 record, while
Kindersley finishes with a 1-3 record – but claims 4th spot because of the head-to-head tie breaker. They now
face Grande Prairie Saturday, May 15th at 7:30pm.
