“It’s going to go down as one of my best memories ever in my whole career, no matter how this ends,” said the 43-year-old from Winnipeg. “Our goal coming in here was to be there in the final game on Sunday,” Kevin said. “It’s something we've talked about and thought about, and it’s in our goals, right?

Saskatchewan went 7-1 to top their pool. They dropped their first playoff game 9-7 to Bottcher before blanking Northwest Territories 7-0.
