Nolan Ritchie then scored for the Wheat Kings with a quick wrist shot to put Brandon up 2-1 in the shootout.

Then it was Jace Isley’s turn for Red Deer, but Carson Bjarnason was able to save his backhand attempt, giving the Wheat Kings an opportunity to put the game away on their next shot, in which they did, when Jake Chiasson lit the lamp to make it a 3-2 shootout final for Brandon.

Shots on goal, however, finished 28-17 in favour of Red Deer.

Wheat Kings netminder Carson Bjarnason earned the game’s third star for his efforts on the afternoon, with Red Deer’s Craig Armstrong named the game’s second star with one goal and one assist on the day. Brandon’s Andrei Malyavin with one goal during the game, received first star recognition.
