Senior Thistles lose in Thunder Bay

The Kenora Triple "a" senior Thistles will have to wait another year to make an appearance at the Allan Cup.

The Thistles were eliminated in two straight games in their best-of-three series against the Dundas Real McCoys.

On Friday, Kenora dropped a 2-1 decision, and then lost 4-1 Saturday night.

The series was played in Thunder Bay and Dundas now advances to the Allan Cup Senior Canadian Championships in Fort St. John later this month.

Meanwhile, the Northwestern All-Stars Triple "a" hockey team is at the Ontario Championships in St. Mary's this week.

The All-Stars, made up of players from Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances and elsewhere across the region, play their first game this morning at 10:00 against the host Huron-Perth Lakers.
