Camrose Bruins were fired up in the first game of playoffs with a convincing 6-2 victory over the president’s trophy winning Red Deer Rustlers 4-3 in the North Central Hockey League action on February 9. Red Deer won the trophy for having the best record in the regular season. However, the Bruins scored the first two goals in the opening game to gain the momentum. Jarod Hovde and Carter Burton scored for the bears, but Red Deer came back with two of their own tallies. Only Brett Njaa of the Bruins scored in the middle frame to break the deadlock. In the third, Njaa added his second, while Ashton Kelly potted the next two goals. The last tally was on the power play. Goalie Curtis Skip stopped 43 of 45 shots directed his way to keep the Bruins in the game. Camrose counted 38 shots on the Red Deer cage. The Rustlers had to work hard to gain a 2-1 victory over the Bruins, February 10. The Rustlers scored first on a power play in a game that featured a goal in every period. Cole Gibson garnered the Camrose goal in the second period, but Red Deer netted the tally in the third. Goalie Skip stopped 47 of 49 shots, while Camrose fired 33 at the Red Deer cage. The Red Deer win squared the series against the Bruins at a game each in the playoffs. The Bruins qualified for the first round of the playoffs that will be a best of five series. Bear tracks After two games, Njaa leads the Bruins in scoring with two goals and an assist.

He was also extremely passionate about going on bike trips on his multiple different motorcycles over the years with his close friends and family. During his earlier working years, Dave held a variety of different positions. Eventually his love of music led him to make an entrepreneurial move and opened his own music store in Camrose – “The Guitar Shop”. Life eventually led him to the City of Camrose, where he had a successful career as a surveyor for 30 years, from which he retired in approximately 2020. Left to cherish his memory are his children Jennifer of Calgary, Michael (Susan) of Ottawa, his granddaughter Kayleigh of Ottawa, and his brothers Jim (Sharon) of Edmonton, Don of Saudi Arabia, and Bob (Delayne) of Camrose.
