Travelodge Cubs set for round-one of HJHL Playoffs
MEDICINE HAT, AB – It’s a battle of David versus Goliath in round one of the HJHL playoffs.
The last-place Medicine Hat Travelodge Cubs look to pull off the upset against a tough Cochrane team. The Generals haven’t lost to the Cubbies all season long, and haven’t lost in regulation since the turn into 2018. While the Hatters have just one win in eleven games going into the playoffs, young goaltender Josh Breznik’s strong play has inspired confidence in his teammates.
The 18-year old Coaldale native stopped 67 of 70 shots the last time the two teams played.
Noah Irvine, the team’s leading scorer, thinks having Breznik in net helps the team push for more offensive opportunities.
