The series ended with a 9-2 win for Ripley in game four on Wolves home ice on Friday, February 18. After a regular season that landed them in the number eight spot in the standings, the Muskies had an 8-9 record and 16 points after 17 games. The regular season was interrupted in January when government restrictions closed arenas around the province. As a result, leagues had to make a decision whether to extend the season or continue where they left off. The WOAA made the decision to finalize the standings based on winning percentage and go directly into playoffs. That meant the Muskies were up against the first place Ripley Wolves in the first round. Game one of the series got underway on February 4 in Ripley and ended with a 7-1 win for the Wolves. The series was in Shelburne at the Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex on Saturday, February 5, for game two. The Muskies were trailing 2-0 in the series after taking a 6-2 loss in that game. The third game of the series was postponed due to weather so the series was back in Shelburne on February 12. After giving up a 5-3 loss in that game, the Muskies had one more chance to keep the series alive, but the final outcome in game four meant the Shelburne squad could get out the golf clubs and start looking for some post-season fun. All senior games scheduled for Saturday, February 19, were postponed due to bad weather across the province. In the other WOAA AA championship series, the Minto 81's are leading the Clinton Radars 3-1 in their series. The Seaforth Centenaires will advance after winning their series over the Durham Thundercats in five games. The Tavistock Royals will advance to the next round after winning their series with the Saugeen Shores Winterhawks in six games. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2022-02-24 13:01:32 Post date GMT: 2022-02-24 18:01:32 Post modified date: 2022-03-03 11:47:22 Post modified date GMT: 2022-03-03 16:47:22 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
