Easiest prediction ever was Dinsmore gets thumped by Wilkie.
Wilkie is a wagon and Dinsmore is a pretender.

Wilkie is a legitimate C team that should be playing A like Kenaston did. There was no comparison in the quality between these two teams. Wilkie is going to run away with C. Unfortunate they went C and not A. That’s what Wilkie does, instead of challenging themselves they are willing to hang a banner in the c div. They are pros at it even within the league they play in, legit??? No, every year they manipulate teams from getting better, just ask the teams that are in that league.

To be fair Wilkie has gone B the last few years when they didn’t have to. Probably not their fault there was no B this year that they wanted to enter in.

Rewind on this forum about good luck handling Wilkie, I think tonight taking their undefeated record for granted is a mistake. I don’t think Dinsmore is beating Wilkie with their full team, definitely not happening missing three important guys. Wilkie is a very good team but let’s not pretend they play in a top league. They’ve also had as easy a provincial schedule up to this point as you can have.

Both Macklin and kindo would lay a beating on the dynamos, even with their extra guys!

Both Macklin and kindo would lay a beating on the dynamos, even with their extra guys! No they wouldn’t. The Outlaws have beaten Kindersley and Macklin all year without much trouble. Wilkie also added the McDonald boys for provincials. Kindersley’s best forwards in the series with Kenaston were pickups Young and Hope. I’m not saying the SWHL isn’t decent. Just doesn’t have the depth of especially the LLHL or the QVHHL. SVHL has a lot of teams,but some are weak, like Lucky Lake. A Wilkie/Kenaston matchup would be excellent. Davidson was a shadow of themselves at the end of the year with injuries.

Point taken, but remember foam lake will probably face Macklin in the d prov finals, foam lake probably shouldn’t have lost to wynyard if their goalie didn’t get injured. The swhl doesn’t have near have the payroll as the LL league or even the qv, so ya the swhl isn’t the top league, but there are good teams besides Wilkie in it. Wilkie has won all their games this year, but they’ve had a few close calls also, a few ot wins and a handful of one goal games. Kenaston is the Wilkie of the Svhl, just thinking the league maybe a bit more on par than you thought.

Having no B division absolutely screwed the C provincials this year. Wilkie is like the Kenaston of last year. No other team even has a sniff at the championship. Completely ruins the excitement of provincials.

Dinsmore full lineup versus Wilkie without the McDonalds would be a much better matchup. This is what the C North Final should have been to keep things exciting.

Completely ruins the excitement of provincials. I'm curious if there was this much complaining in the 80's when Wilkie hung up a bunch of B banners or in the 90's when Drake or Conquest was winning D banners or Shellbrook in the 2000's when they were hanging A and B banners? The amount of complaining on here at times how "unfair" things are is beyond the pale...

All the folks on here who **** and complain about Wilkie/Kenaston/Drake or whoever the “it” team is at the time are just sore losers. Davidson’s great run 10 years ago would be torn apart now. If you want to run a great program you need local talent, a great executive willing to put in time and often their own money and community support. Kenaston’s C title last year was anything but easy other than the final. Wilkie has had a great run the last ten plus years. Don’t crap on it because you’re jealous.

Davidson's 4 year run with 4 consecutive banners (2-D + 2-C) would make alot of people angry these days. I was witness to that run as an opponent and as a senior hockey supporter...great local talent with high end imports, they were deserving of those titles. Kenaston's C run was tough and it can be argued their D run the year before was even tougher. People these days despise excellence...these same people endorse mediocrity, want everyone to receive an good guy/try hard award and want to shoehorn all 100+ Saskatchewan senior hockey teams into provincials despite 50% of the teams having zero interest in entering.

Not sure what you guys have been smoking. Kenaston winning last year was the most boring division of provincials. Nobody watched any of the games because everyone knew the outcome. Kenaston might have got bored a couple times and made it close against a couple teams but the championship was never in doubt. Same goes this year. No one is going to watch the Wilkie games because they are boring as hell when they are passing and skating circles around all the other teams. Congratulations on them for winning but brutal for the fans who want to watch some exciting senior hockey.
