(above) DU recruit Shawn Ostrow faces off in the semi-finals of the RBC CupFor the fourth time in eight years, the Camrose Kodiaks will play for Canada’s National Junior A Championship.
DU recruit Joe Colborne chipped in with two assists as the Kodiaks topped the Pictou County Weeks Crushers 3-0 in Saturday’s first semi-final at the 2008 RBC Cup.
Andrew MacWilliam and Jesse Todd scored 1:36 apart midway through the first period and Dean Petiot added some insurance in the third as the Kodiaks ran their record to a perfect 5-0.
The shutout also means the Kodiaks have allowed just four goals in five games, within sight of the all-time RBC Cup record for fewest goals allowed in a single tournament – seven, set by the South Surrey Eagles during their 1997 championship run.
Camrose will play the winner of Saturday night’s semi-final between the Humboldt Broncos and the host Cornwall Colts in Sunday’s championship game (1:00 p.m. ET/10:00 a.m. PT, LIVE on TSN).
MacWilliam opened the scoring for the Kodiaks at the 8:07 mark, blasting a shot from the point past Pictou County netminder Alexandre Quessy, and Todd made it 2-0 moments later on a Camrose powerplay, taking a cross-ice pass from Colborne and beating Quessy just underneath the crossbar.
The Kodiaks will enter Sunday’s championship game looking for their second national championship – they were crowned national champions in 2001, in the first trip to the tournament.
