The Waywayseecappo Wolverines return back from the two week Christmas Break, to host the same team they played to end 2023.
The Wolverines host the OCN Blizzard after the thriller on home ice on December 19th, when the Blizzard beat the Wolverines 5-4 in a shootout. Jack Clarke scored two goals in the final three minutes to tie the game to send it to extra time.
The Wolverines are hoping to flip the page when they start 2024, as they are currently out of a playoff spot and six points back of Neepawa for that final playoff spot.
But winning against a team in the West is important for Waywayseecappo, since they have failed to do so since the end of October.
For the Blizzard, they are rolling, winning their last seven games before the break. They are currently sitting second in the West Division, nine points up on Dauphin and four points back of Virden.
