With one game remaining before the Christmas break, the Dauphin Clippers hope to build on their success from the first half of the season when they return in the new year.

The Clippers dropped a 4-3 overtime decision to the Boissevain/Souris Broncos in their final home game of 2021, Saturday.

The Parkland Rangers enter the Christmas break as one of the hottest teams in the Manitoba U18 AAA Hockey League.

A weekend sweep of the Kenora Thistles gave the Rangers wins in 10 of their last 12 games and improved Parkland’s record to 16-9-2-1 for 35 points, good for fourth place, two points ahead of the Winnipeg Thrashers and Southwest Cougars.
