McCoys Win Game Two
Dundas To Face Steinbach in Quarter-Final
Nick Smith scored two goals and added an assist, while Shawn Maltby picked up four assists, to help the Dundas Real McCoys outlast the South East Prairie Thunder 7-6 to pick up their first win at the Allan Cup national Senior AAA hockey championship, Wednesday.

Chipping in with assists were: Frank Grandits (2) Jerry Galway (2), Mike Kennedy, Tyler Pelton, Jooris and Shewchuk.

Lloydminster took second place with only five goals for, but only six goals against.
