There may have been rumbles before now and there may have been competition, but nothing matches the heights of playoffs for sheer power and concentration.
Here be giants – here in the ‘A’ finals.
A&W was called upon to defend their honour against Sky Hi who was reaching to pull them down from the heights atop the Super League.
A&W was in command after six ends, leading 6-2, but stumbled in the seventh and gave up three. They laid one in the eighth, while Sky Hi ticked the guard on their last shot giving A&W the 7-5 win.
The second match between the dragons of the ‘A’ finals was the greedy game, as the golddiggers of Billy Barker stared down the horders of the Investors Group.
Plagued by a series of ticketed guards, Billy Barker were run out of rocks to improve stock in the Investor’s portfolio, with a golden 6-2 win.
In the ‘B’ final, the lower pantheon of Super Leaguers struggled with the same intensity as those in the (A) heavnes above them
Much closer to the green earth, CDC and Quesnel Golf struggled to start the finals off with a win.
With lots of green and orange, it looked like Halloween on the ice, but was more like Christmas again for the CDC, as Quesnel Golf gifted the CDC with a 7-2 win.
Willis Harper and Karin’s Deli stuggled for the emythical hammer of Thor in a quest for domination.
Willis Harper jumped out to the early lead, but Karin’s Deli never gave up and battle back to lead in the seventh end. But Willis Harper took advantage of the hammer to win 8-7 in the last end.
Never forget that the gods struggle for mastery of the ice here in Canada, so keep your eyes open as they war for supremacy of that most valuable commodity of the North and read in these pages of exploits of the Super League.
