Bruins win city championship!

The Bourkevale Bruins 9A1 hockey team won the city championship Wednesday, the first time a Bourkevale team has brought home a city final banner to 100 Ferry Road since 2004.

Bourkevale took a 4-1 lead against their rival Assiniboine West opponents in Game 2 of a best-of-three final. AW fought back, though, and tied the game 4-4, pushing the match into overtime.
