MEDICINE HAT, AB — The SEAC Bantam AAA Tigers playoff run came to an abrupt halt on Tuesday, falling to the Red Deer Rebels 4-3 at the Hockey Hounds Recreation Centre.

The Rebels are moving onto the AMBHL’s South Division Finals while the Tigers are heading into the off-season.

Although it’s difficult to accept defeat, the team is praising their work ethic and tenacity for helping create one of the strongest bantam programs in recent history.

Capping the year with a 13-15-5 record to finish third in the Ram South standings, the Tigers swept the second place Okotoks Oilers in the opening round to advance to the division semis.
