Grande Prairie net minder has season come to an end in Anavet Cup

May 8, 2018 | 10:13 AM

A Grande Prairie goaltender had his season come to an end last night as his team battled for a spot in the National Championship.

18-year-old netminder Jake Anthony and the Nipawin Hawks had their season conclude Monday night as they dropped game 6 of the Anavet Cup 2-1, and lost the series 4-2 to the Steinbach Pistons of the MJHL.

Anthony was in his first year with the Hawks, and only made one appearance in the post-season.

However, in his rookie campaign, the Grande Prairie product was solid in between the pipes with a 20-3-0-0 record, and a sparkling 1.94 GAA and a .929 SV %.

Steinbach will now move on to represent the West region (Saskatchewan/Manitoba) at the RBC Cup in Chilliwack B.C.

They will be joined by the Wenatchee Wild, who eliminated the AJHL’s Spruce Grove Saints in five games in the Doyle Cup, the Wellington Dukes, the Ottawa Jr A. Senators, and host Chilliwack Chiefs at the 2018 RBC Cup which will begin this Saturday.
