West Kelowna wins RBC Cup Foundation for success now set in Lloydminster by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com
The West Kelowna Warriors shut out the Lloydminster Bobcats 4-0 on Sunday to capture it’s first Royal Bank Cup junior A national championship. Matthew Greenfield made 48 saves for the Warriors in the only shutout of the tournament. The Bobcats peppered the goaltender every period, yet couldn’t find a crack in the wall to slip a goal by and build momentum. In the end, Jonathan Desbiens’s first period goal turned out to be the game winner, as the Warriors ended the season as the best team amongst the 131 teams in Canada. “There are no words,� said Warrior forward and Lashburn native Kylar Hope. “It’s cliche, but there is no words, it’s amazing. You grow up here playing and you know so many faces, you go lift the Cup in front of them and you know people you went to school with, people you’ve seen around the hockey rink, friends and family, it’s amazing.� West Kelowna finished the round robin 2-1-1 and got into the final after a 4-1 victory over the Brooks Bandits. Against the Bobcats in the championship game, the Warriors wanted to get through the first 10 minutes and take the crowd out of the game, knowing the arena that was packed with Bobcats fans could help sway the game. Desbiens goal came with 5:21 left in the first period, while Reed Gunville scored with 6:29 remaining in the second period to give the Warriors a small cushion. See “RBC Cup,� Page 3
