The Moose Jaw Generals capped off their time at the 2017 Mac’s Midget AAA Tournament with a 7-4 loss to the Foothills Bisons to end the round robin on Friday.

The game was tight, tied 2-2 with Austen Flaman and Reece Newkirk scoring for Moose Jaw, until midway through the second period when the Bisons exploded for four unanswered goals to take a 6-2 lead into the third period.

Moose Jaw responded with goals from Flaman and Jeremy Bisson just 40 seconds apart in the first five minutes of the third to cut the lead down to 6-4, but that was as close as the Generals would get.

The Bisons added a goal from Zach Huber with 7:22 to go in regulation to finish off the win for the top team in the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey League.

The loss gives the Generals a 1-3 record at the Mac’s.  They dropped three straight after winning their opening game against the Alaska Oilers.

The second place team in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League will return to league action next Saturday in Prince Albert against the Mintos.
