The Melfort Mustangs will take the number one seed into the SJHL Canalta Cup playoffs, clinching top spot Wednesday with a 5-0 victory in Yorkton.
That will give Melfort home ice advantage for as long as they’re playing in this year's post-season.
The Mustangs ran their record to 38-7-3-6 on the year, and can still hit 40 wins in a 56-game schedule, with wins in their final two games against Nipawin this weekend.
Richard Palmer picked up his 28th win and
fifth shutout, making
19 saves.
Regan Wilton led the charge offensively with a goal and two assists. Landon Robin and David Heath each had a goal and an assist.
The Mustangs will play the lowest seeded winner of the Wildcard Series in the SJHL quarter-finals, with Game 1 at the Northern Lights Palace.
