Crushers Can Capture WOAA 'A' Title Tonight

The long season may come to an end in WOAA Senior hockey. Shallow Lake can capture the 'A' division title with a win Friday over Ripley.

Carrying a 3-1 lead in the series, the Crushers host Ripley looking to end the series in 5 games.

Ripley has put in a solid effort despite the 3 losses. The Wolves lost by only 2 goals in each game and their win came with a 6-2 thumping of the Crushers at home.

Should the Wolves extend the series, things shift to Ripley Saturday night at 7 p.m. Another win and Shallow Lake hosts game 7 in Owen Sound on Sunday at 2 p.m.
