ICE Fall to Wildcats in Semi-Finals
The Winnipeg ICE battled the Westman Wildcats in the MFMHL Semi-Finals.
After dropping game 1 by a score of 3-1, the ICE were looking for redemption in game 2. Coming out of the gate flying, the ICE outshot the Wildcats by 38-24, but weren't able to capitalize on their chances, with regulation ending in a 2 all tie. Continuing to put on the pressure, the ICE once again outshot their opponent 7-3 in OT. With the Westman goaltender shutting us down, the Wildcats jumped on their chances as they were rewarded a powerplay within the dying minute in OT. Firing a shot bar down, the Wildcats came out on top, winning the game and leading the series 2-0.
Despite an even matched third game, the Wildcats once again capitalized on their chances, defeating the ICE by a score of 5-2 and putting a stop to the Winnipeg ICE season.
Starting the season with a 2-7 record, the ICE showed incredible work ethic and dedication to the team as they improved substantially, ending the Regular season in fourth place, to host the defending Provincial Champions in the first round. Knocking out the defending champs in three straight games, the ICE moved on to the top seeded team were they fell short, however, an incredible accomplishment to their season none the less.
The ICE say goodbye to three graduating players, Seren Jocelyn, Deena Scanlon, and Maggie Medock as their MFMHL days come to an end. The ICE players, coaches, parents, and fans, can't thank these three girls enough as they set the bar high for the years to come. All 3 girls showed incredible leadership throughout the year, both on, and more importantly off the ice. We wish Seren, Deena and Maggie, all the best as they move forward on to the next chapter of their life.
With a slight break in the hockey world, the ICE will step back on the ice in no time, as they look to build on their first year in the MFMHL.
Congratulations to the ICE players on an incredible season!
GO ICE GO!
PREVIEW: ICE vs. Westman
With the top 4 teams in the MFMHL advancing to the semi-finals, the 4th placed ICE will take on the 1st placed Wildcats as both teams aim to make the MFMHL Provincial Finals.
Due to the Canada Winter Games, the MFMHL playoffs have been put on a two week hold, as 10 players within the MFMHL are representing Team Manitoba.
Taking a look at our upcoming matchup, the Westman Wildcats flew to the top of the regular season standings with just 5 losses under their belt. In their first round matchup the Wildcats took on the Lightning, defeating them by a 3-1 series win.
Head to Head, the ICE and Wildcats competed 4 times within the regular season with the Wildcats ending the year, 4-0 vs the ICE, with 2 of those games decided in extra time.
Back in september, the ICE played their first regular season game against the Wildcats, falling to a score of 3-1. Yewdall would pick up the ICE's first regular season goal of the season.
A few weekends later, the ICE would travel to Hartney where they would see Westman jump out to a comanding 4-0 lead. Stewart would then steal the show in the third period, getting her first career Hat-trick. Just a little too late, the ICE would fall to the Wildcats by a score of 4-3.
Well into November, the ICE would make their final trip of the season to Hartney. J.Bird would get on the board first, putting the ICE up by 1. Shippam would stand tall in net, with the Wildcats first goal coming in the third period to tie it up. With regulation solving nothing, both teams were headed to OT for the first time in the Season. The Wildcats would find the back of the net first, giving them the 2-1 OT win.
With their fourth and final matchup coming in late December, the ICE would battle hard, with J.Bird once again finding the back of the net in the first period to put the team up by 1. Wanting to recreate the same outcame as their last matchup, the Wildcats would finally beat Baker in the third period to tie things up at 1. Once again heading into OT, it was the Wildcats who would prevail, as they would take the 2-1 OT win.
With the last 2 games of the season headed to overtime, and the last 3 games decided by just 1 goal, we are headed for an intense battle in the semi-finals.
The series is set to kick off on Wednesday, March 6th, as the ICE travel out to Hartney for a 7:30pm puck drop.
The ICE will return to Winnipeg on Saturday, March 9th, where they will take on the Wildcats at BellMTS Iceplex. Puck drop is set for 4:15pm. BRING THE NOISE!!
#GOICEGO
ICE Head to Semi-Finals!

With a lot on the line, the ICE brought their game, defeating the Selects by a score of 5-1, 2-1 (OT), and 2-0 to win the best of 5 series 3-0.
The ICE will now have a 2 week break (Canada Games) before taking on their next opponent in the MFMHL Semi-Finals.
