The Estevan TS&M Bruins are moving on to the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League's consolation final after taking care of the Weyburn Wings in the south final.
The Saskatoon Outlaws will be the Bruins' opponent in the consolation final. Dates for the series had not been set as of press time.
The Wings won the opener of the two-game, total-point series 6-5 on March 18 in Weyburn, but the Bruins handily overcame that with an 8-3 victory in Game 2 on Thursday at the Civic Auditorium. That gave them a 13-9 series win.
In the second game, Cole Fonstad led the Bruins with two goals and two assists, while Shae Little added a goal and four helpers.
A goal from Fonstad and two from Jayden Davis gave the Bruins a 3-1 lead after the first period, with Matthew Kesslering potting the Wings' lone marker.
Estevan's Brayden Pachal and Weyburn's Rhett Nikolejsin traded goals just five seconds apart midway through the second, and Fonstad and Colton Schell added goals for the Bruins later in the frame to give the hosts a 6-2 lead.
Little and Josh Skjonsby tacked on goals for the Bruins in the third, with Kyler Douglas scoring Weyburn's third goal.
The Bruins went 3-for-9 on the power play, while the Wings were 1-for-8.
In the series opener, it was a four-goal second period that powered Weyburn to victory.
The Wings, who finished one point ahead of the Bruins in the regular season standings, got goals from Nikolejsin, Douglas, Kesslering and Kane Altwasser in the middle frame to erase a 4-2 Estevan lead.
Six goals were scored in the first period, with Fonstad and Hayden Cutler each scoring twice to stake the Bruins to the early lead. Altwasser and Nikolejsin potted goals for Weyburn in the opening frame.
Fonstad completed a hat trick with a power play goal early in the third.
