The Moose Jaw Generals’ playoff chances took a big hit on Wednesday at the 2017 Mac’s Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary.

Moose Jaw fell 3-1 to the Red Deer Chiefs on Wednesday in a nice bounce back effort from their 6-2 loss on Tuesday to the Greater Vancouver Canadians, but also marked the end of their playoff aspirations at the prestigious midget AAA tournament.

Jeremy Bisson scored his second goal of the tournament for the Generals in the loss. His goal pulled Moose Jaw within one with ten minutes to go in regulation, but Red Deer answered back just 43 seconds later to go back up by two, and for good.

Levi Glasman had a goal and two points to lead the way for the Chiefs.

The Generals will finish the round robin on Friday when they take on the Foothills Bisons, who are the top team in the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey League.
