The University of Calgary Dinos men's hockey team advanced to their first Canada West final since 2015 Saturday night, scoring six straight goals to eliminate the University of Saskatchewan Huskies 6-1.
Saskatchewan scored first, barely a minute into the game, when Vince Loschiavo lifted one past Dino goalie Carl Tetachuk.
Halfway through the first period at Father David Bauer Arena, Huskie captain Connor Hobbs was given a five-minute major and game misconduct that led to two goals by Max Patterson.
In the second period, Connor Guetenberg and Zach Wytinck added to the lead, making it 4-1.
After the Huskies pulled the goalie with six and a half minutes to go in the third, Josh Maser added a pair of empty-netters for the final margin.
The Canada West final takes place March 3-5 at Father David Bauer Arena, with the Dinos facing either the University of Alberta Bears or UBC Thunderbirds. Tickets go on sale Feb. 26.
The victory also means the Dinos earn a spot in the 2023 U Sports University Cup in Charlottetown in March.
