        After a season of hard work the Wawota Flyers and Bienfait Coalers have met in the final series of the Big Six Playoffs. Vying for the championship, the two teams finished first (Wawota) and second (Bienfait) respectively after the round robin, and earned wins on the road to the championship through quarterfinal and semifinal battles.
               The final match-up saw the first game of the series held in Wawota on Wednesday, March 9. A packed house came to cheer on the home team.
               The game was a battle as the Bienfait Coalers took to an early lead scoring at 19:29 in the first with an unassisted goal by Ryan Wrigley.
               The Flyers answered back at 19:10, with Ben Johnstone scoring a goal assisted by Brent Struble. On a power play the Flyers added another at 4:35, again with Ben Johnstone putting the puck in the net with help from Brent Struble and Justin Lamontagne.
               The second period saw opportunities for both teams, but it was the Coalers which capitalized with a goal at 3:34 by Russ Schneider, which was set up by MacKenzie Selk and Chase McKersie.
               Fast action and intense play continued with no one gaining the upper hand in the third period, meaning the Flyers and Coalers would take it to overtime.
               The fourth period would see the Flyers take home the win with a goal at 4:34 by Brent Struble assisted by Justin Lamontagne.
               The second game was held on Monday, March 14, in Bienfait – which took place after The Observer deadline – the third game was held on Wednesday, March 16, in Wawota and the fourth game has been scheduled in Bienfait for Friday, March 18. If the best of seven series isn’t resolved in four, other games will be scheduled as needed.
               In addition to the Big Six league coming to a close with this series Wawota, Redvers, and Carnduff are all still competing in the Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) Provincials.
               Wawota took on Gull Lake in the Senior C division with Gull Lake leading the series and making their way to provincial finals after a close battle with Wawota.
               Redvers took on Kyle in the Senior D division, with Kyle earning a place in provincial finals.
