The Edam 3-Stars advanced to the North Saskatchewan River Hockey League final after sweeping the second place Wilkie Outlaws and first place Maidstone Jets, now they will play the third place St. Walburg Eagles in the championship.

His hockey season may be over, but Jarrett Fontaine is still looking back on the past year with a sense of accomplishment.
