Huskies sweep Cougars with blowout win
There are blowouts, and then there are blowouts.
The Huskies men’s hockey team blew the doors off the Brandt Centre in Regina on Sunday, blasting the Regina Cougars 9-0 to complete a sweep of their four-game season series and move into a tie with the Mount Royal Cougars for 4th place in the Canada West standings.
Justin Ball recorded his first career U SPORTS hat trick to lead the onslaught, Liam Keeler scored his first two goals of the season, while Dawson Holt and Vince Loschiavo notched three assists each on a night when everything seemed to go right for the Huskies, and wrong for the Cougars.
“Last night there was still a little bit of rust. We just wanted to take it to another level and we did tonight,” head coach Brandin Cote said. “Everything was clicking, we were able to roll the lines, we didn’t have to extend anyone, so I think all those things are positive moving forward into next weekend.”
