In another sterling example of tortured logic, Manitoba is declared the Rigby champ because they defeated Saskatchewan 29-16 while Alberta only defeated the Huskies 31-29. Therefore, a game between Manitoba and Alberta was deemed unnecessary.
In Manitoba’s win over Saskatchewan, Negrych scored 8, Hunter 7, Brooks 7, Kasler 6 and Turnbull 1, while Gordon, Genik and Shea were scoreless. McMillan led the Huskies with 9. Janzen added 4, Riches 2 and Redman 1, while Pope, Moar, Morrison and Thackery were scoreless.
Alberta defeated Saskatchewan 31-29. Alberta led the entire way but by no more than six. Alberta led 19-13 at the half. Keith Muir paced Alberta with 9.
