WESTVILLE ROAD, N.S. – The Northern Subway Selects begin defence of their back to back Midget AAA provincial titles this Saturday at the Pictou County Wellness Center (PCWC).
Fresh off their gold medal performance at the Sweetheart hockey tournament this past weekend, where the Selects banged off five straight wins en route to the banner, the Selects will take on a much improved Bussey Penguins. The Penguins have improved all season long and were performing well down the stretch.
It will be a tough test for the Selects in the best-of five series.
The Subways are looking to three peat as provincial champions after their first ever title in 2017 and repeating in 2018. The Selects finished first in the seven-team league, just one point ahead of the Station Six Fire,who have been lighting it up in the back half of the season. The Fire launch their first round against third place Cape Breton, who have been solid all season long. The league was extremely tight and it came down to the last game of the season to determine the final standings.
Puck drops for Game 1 at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, with Game 2 going at 5 p.m. on Sunday. Both games are at the PCWC.
