“Mission accomplished,” said Huskies head coach Dave Adolph. “That’s all it was.”
His squad’s 10-3 stomping of the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns Feb. 25 at Rutherford Rink in Saskatoon not only swept the ’Horns out of the best-of-three Canada West quarter-final series, but also silenced a team that had caused the Dogs trouble all season long.

The Huskies started off the 2011-12 season with those losses in mind, sweeping Alberta in a late-October weekend series. Those games, however, came down to both overtime and a shootout. By no means did Saskatchewan dominate the Pandas and, as evidenced by the teams splitting their following weekend series, the Huskies had not had the last laugh.
The Dogs will look for vengeance Feb. 17, 18 and, if needed, 19 in the same arena where they lost last year as they kick off their 2011-12 playoff campaign.

It was a controversial finish.
On Jan. 21, in the second of two games the Huskies women’s hockey team played against the visiting Manitoba Bisons, the Dogs lost 4-3 in a shootout.
Both teams had to send five shooters before Bisons forward Nellie Minshull scored the only goal of the breakaway contest. Minshull, however, fumbled the puck on her way to the net and had to stop to reach back and retrieve the puck before she fired it through Huskies goaltender Mackenzie Rizos’ five-hole. The crowd and the Huskies bench erupted when the goal was allowed, thinking that the play should have been considered dead when Minshull was forced to stop and turn back. After some referee deliberation the goal was still counted, giving Manitoba the extra point and the win.

The University of Saskatchewan Huskies men’s hockey team won a pair of pivotal games Jan. 13 and 14 against the visiting Alberta Golden Bears.
The games were both played at Credit Union Centre with an estimated attendance of 1,800 fans each game — one of the highest Canada West conference totals this year. Both teams were locked at the top of the Canada West standings with duplicate 13-3 records.
By the end of the weekend, the Huskies walked away in sole possession of top spot in the Canada West.

A quick nap nearly cost the Huskies men’s hockey team their second loss of the season this past weekend at Rutherford Rink.
Although they did come out with a 5-4 overtime win and 2-1 victory against the Manitoba Bisons on Nov. 4 and 5, respectively, the Bisons’ strong attack forced Saskatchewan to stay on its toes.
