Quick Summary
Man: J. Arpin  (12:13 2nd)
Calg: M. Stewart  (12:49 2nd) , H. Pakkala  (17:27 3rd) , A. Kydd  (19:01 3rd) , R. Gannon  (19:38 3rd)
Goal: Man: Holt (33 shots, 31 saves), Calg: Tetachuk (18 shots, 17 saves)

This was a 1-1 hockey game until Hayden Pakkala scored his 14th of the season with just over two minutes left to give the Dinos their first lead of the evening. A pair of empty-netters then put it away. This gave the Dinos a hope for a chance at 2nd place, because MRU was leading 2-1 at the time, but it was not to be. The Dinos are stuck in 3rd, and the Bisons in 4th. The only goal of significance on Saturday is therefore the Bison quest for a .500 season.

Goal: TWU: Audet (42 shots, 40 saves), Reg: Ernst L (14 shots, 10 saves), Cunningham (10 shots, 9 saves)

This win moves Holy Trinity one point ahead of the Banjo-Cats in the race for 8th place. I saw the beginning, since this was the only game which started at 7:00 pm CST. Regina could not get a save from their goaltender. He was yanked after giving up 4 goals. The Kittens actually had a wide edge in play.

Goal: MacU: Ironside (34 shots, 32 saves), Alta: Sim (29 shots, 24 saves)

Since this one had the same start time as the Bison game, and the MRU/Sask battle for first was my back-up game, I never saw it. This assures The Family Guys of a 2nd place finish and they will host Calgary in next week's quarter-final. The Evil Monkeys just haven't got it, especially with a backup goaltender necessitated. I would not wager on either side advancing.

Quick Summary

MRU: V. Watterodt  (13:12 1st) , S. Moe  (13:18 3rd) , J. Lies  (17:33 3rd)
Goal: Sask: Maier (27 shots, 24 saves), MRU: Farkas (20 shots, 18 saves)

The Banjo-Mutts led the game 2-1 entering the 3rd period, despite having been outplayed. So it was poetic justice that the Bluegars rallied in the 3rd for a win. This means that Saturday's rematch is a first place showdown, and that Calgary cannot steal 2nd spot. The loser will host the Evil Monkeys, and be heavy favourites. The winner will face the winner of the quarter-final series between MacEwan and Calgary.

A lot of big-time goal scorers scored in this one. Connor Roulette (15th) and Carter Stebbings (13th) scored for the Mutts. Vaughn Watterodt (9th), Spencer Moe (11th), and Justine Lies (14th) replied for the Bluegars.

February 14, 2026: BISON SEASON ENDS WITH SHOOTOUT LOSS

The CW regular season came to an end on Saturday night. This shootout loss for the Bisons means they finish one point under .500. The playoff picture looks like this:

Calgary at MacEwan, winner plays Mount Royal
Alberta at Saskatchewan, winner plays UBC

The Dinos graduating seniors were honoured, and they include goaltender Carl Stankowski, leading scorer Adam Kydd, and their leading scorer amongst defenceman, Sean Strange.

This was a step forward for the Bisons, who likely deserved a playoff berth. The screwy CW divisional set-up rotates so that they are slated to play in a BC-Prairie division with Saskatchewan, Regina, UBC, and Trinity Western next year.

Goal: TWU: Sommer (31 shots, 28 saves), Reg: Cunningham (29 shots, 27 saves)

The season ends on a positive note for the Banjo-Cats, as they jump over Holy Trinity to avoid the wooden spoon. It was senior night for the Kittens, and they have nine (9) graduating players. That means they require a massive recruiting effort just to tread water. Leaving are Eric Pearce, Logan Barlage, Carter Belitski, Ayden Third, Paycen Bjorklund, Eric Houk, Jaxon Steele, Jackson Doucet, and Matt Culling. That list includes their top seven scorers.

Goal: Alta: Barwick (13 shots, 10 saves), Sim W (9 shots, 9 saves), MacU: Onyskiw L (13 shots, 9 saves), Ironside (12 shots, 12 saves)

This game was anti-climatic following MacEwan's clinching of 2nd place on Friday night. Both sides pulled their starting goaltender, and have big question marks heading into the playoffs. In my opinion, both sides are heavy underdogs.

The Bluegars have steadily improved all season and really deserved this win. The Banjo-Mutts remain a threat to anybody, even UBC should they win their quarter-final and cross-over for the semi-final round. Of note, the Mutts' new goaltender Nolan Meier was yanked to be replaced by former #1 Jordan Kooy. Their goaltending was fine before, and it seems that this 3-goalie system has disrupted things. This is one thing to check out for the playoffs.
