There’s no stopping the Wilkie Outlaws when it comes to their dominance in the Saskatchewan West Hockey League.

The Outlaws joined the Eston Ramblers as the only team to win three straight titles in league history Wednesday night, as they picked up a 6-0 win at home over the Macklin Mohawks in the third game of their best-of-five series.

The championship was the fifth in a row for the Outlaws team as well, as they won two straight North Saskatchewan River Hockey League titles before moving to the SWHL.

Jared Herle was stellar in goal in Wednesday’s series clincher, as he stopped all 34 shots he faced. 

Derek Keller, Garrett Cameron and Mike Sittler each had a goal and an assist in the victory.

Dustin Glackin, Rob Cey and Brock Harrison also scored for the Outlaws.

Harrison, who led the SWHL in scoring during the playoff with 15 points, was named playoff MVP.

The Outlaws season offically came to an end Friday night at home, as they fell 4-2 to the Bethune Bulldogs in the second game of their provincial Senior A final series.

Meanwhile, the Edam Three Stars just missed out on winning their first ever provincial senior hockey title Sunday.

The 2017 Saskatchewan Prairie Hockey League champions suffered a 5-3 loss to Wilcox in the third and deciding game of the Senior D finals in Turtleford.

Wilcox, who lost the first game of the finals in Turtleford last Sunday by a score of 8-7, stayed alive in the series with a 3-1 at home Friday night.
