Making one final stop at the buzzer on Wednesday, Weyburn Red Wings goaltender Angelo Zol put together as good of a performance as he could have hoped for.
He stopped all 32 shots he faced at the Warman Home Centre Communiplex to cap off the inaugural SJHL-MJHL Western All-Star Showcase.
“The boys played fantastic in front of me,” Zol said. “They made my job easy tonight, boxing out and letting me see shots. It was a lot of fun.”
Team SJHL’s 2-0 victory over Team MJHL wrapped up three days of the event, which was created to replace the annual Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Showcase, which brought together the league’s dozen franchises in Warman.
Instead, this year’s event brought together the best U19 junior A players from both the SJHL and the Manitoba Junior Hockey League to give players an early tryout ahead of next month’s Junior A World Challenge.
