The Medicine Hat Cubs have won the Heritage Junior Hockey League title.

A series sweep of the Red Deer Vipers was completed at Servus Arena on Saturday night with a 5-2 win.

This is the first title for the Cubs in their 24 years in the HJHL.

They last won a title in 2001 in the IJHL.

The final HJHL game in a Cubs uniform for overage players Kyle Woolridge, Austin Derzaph, Keynan Cairns, and Ethan Burgeson sees them go out on top.

Next up for the cup is playing in the Provincial Championship tournament hosted in Lloydminster from April 1-5.

The last time they played in a provincial tournament was in 2005 when they last hosted.

This is a developing story. More to follow.
