A huge confidence boost for the University of Waterloo Warriors men’s hockey team in their opening game at the CIS Nationals in Saskatoon.
The number 6 Warriors edged the top-ranked Alberta Golden Bears
2-1 on Thursday afternoon.
Justin Larson and Blake Chartier scored for the Warriors, both markers coming on the power play.
Keaton Hartigan was rock solid in net, the University of Waterloo was outshot 43-13 by Alberta. 22 of those Alberta shots came in the second period.
“Keaton has been the heart and soul of our team during our playoff run and he’s one of the main reasons we’re here,” said Waterloo head coach Brian Bourque.
The Warriors face Saint Mary’s on Saturday at 3:30pm Eastern Time. You can watch the game on Sportsnet.
