Not the start the Kenora Triple "a" midget Thistles wanted at the Telus Western Regional Championships in Virden.
The Thistles were blanked 4-0 last night by the host Southwest Cougars.
The Thistles managed just 14 shots on net in a losing cause.
The tournament doesn't get any easier today, as the Kenora Midgets face the top team in the Manitoba Midget Hockey League today.
The Thistles will face the Winnipeg Wild at 5:00.
