The Melfort Mustangs did the SJHL proud at the Centennial Cup in Oakville, Ontario. A tremendous run to the finals unfortunately fell just short for Kerrobert's Austin Shepherd, and assistant coach Tye Scherger out of Macklin as they lost 1-0 in the tournament final.
What an incredible year for the Melfort Mustangs. We as a league could not be more proud of our champions and how they conducted themselves and competed at this Centennial Cup. pic.twitter.com/NRBQtLj0gU

The tournament's top two teams battled it out, Melfort taking on the Ontario Junior Hockey League's Collingwood Blues in the finals. The teams played to a scoreless first, before the Blues went up 1-0 in the second, holding on from there to capture the Junior "A" national championship live on TSN.
Finishing as the top team in Group B, the Mustangs used a semi-final win against the AJHL's Calgary Canucks to advance to the finals. In six games total, the Mustangs only regulation loss came in the finals against the Blues.
