Thistles unbeaten in weekend exhibition tournament

A promising weekend for the Kenora Triple "a" midget Thistles.

The Thistles were in Beausejour for a pre-season tournament and finished with a record of three wins and a tie on the four games played.

Head Coach Doug Novak says he doesn't want to read too much into the results.

The Thistles allowed just five goals in four games, and recorded two  shutouts.

The Kenora Midgets blanked the Central Plains Capitals 1-0, got by the Winnipeg Thrashers 4-3, then shutout the Pembina Valley Hawks 3-0 and tied the Interlake Lightning 2-2.

Their home opener is September 30th against the Winnipeg Wild.
