The IROC Chiefs won  the provincial championship in Calgary today with a 6- 2 win over the Red Deer Northstar Chiefs.  The teams have been having an ongoing run and gun feud since the start of the SUTTER Cup two weekends ago.  The IROC Chiefs bested the Northstars in that event and did so again this weekend.  In between the Northstar Chiefs beat the IROC Chiefs in the round robin of the provincials  by a 7 -1 score and they also finished first overall in the round robin  pool play.  IROC on the other hand started slowly, but worked hard, to reach the final four with a third place in the pool standings and a chance to the play the St Albert Raiders in one semi final.  In that game IROC fell behind 5-2 after two periods before rallying to win 8-7 in the second OT.  The Northstars advanced to the finals with a 3-1 victory over the host CRAA Gold.  In the championship match up, IROC was full measure for the win and the championship, as once they got the lead they did not look back.

In the  Bronze medal game, St Albert Raiders beat the CRAA Gold 5-2 for the second time in the provincials.

Congratulations to all the players and coaches on the great play this weekend.
