Yorkton Harvest head coach Graham Garrett says, "This was a huge weekend for us." The wins puts the Harvest ahead of the Beardy's Blackhawks in the standings and pulls the team closer to Regina and Tisdale in the points race.
"I thought today was by far the best 60 minute hockey game where we technically played within our systems, we battled hard individually and put the puck in the net when we had opportunities. That's why the score was 7-2," Garrett continues.
He feels the Harvest outplayed Beardy's. Harvest goalie Spencer Bomboir played well. The defensemen moved the puck up very well. The forwards attacked with some speed and passed well, Garret closes.
