The finals are upon us and a new CSHL champion will be crowned.

Steinbach had come back from being down 3-1 to Red River while Grunthal booted Springfield in a classic battle. Now these two teams meet again and both sides are chomping at the bit to hit the ice friday.

Steinbach Huskies (2)

The Huskies had a bumpy road to the finals. They lost game one in the first round against St. Malo but then stormed back to win 3 straight moving on meet the Red River Wild, defending CSHL champions. The Wild put the Huskies in the kennel through the first 4 games leaving Steinbach trailing three games to one. The resilient Huskies wouldn't be denied as they came all the way back, flexing their high octane offense in the process. The Huskies top scorers did just that, finding the back of the net at an alarming rate. 

Steinbach has a long history against the Red Wings and the players know it will be a series that comes down to sacrafice. The Huskies feel good after defeating Red River in game 7 in front of a good crowd at the T.G. Smith Center, but they also know that was just a taste of what's to come and reaching their goal of being champions.

Grunthal Red Wings (4)

The Red Wings are a team built to battle adversity and it's safe to say they have done that on their way to the finals. They trailed the Ste. Anne Aces in the opening round before coming back and winning a dramatic game 5. Their reward for that come from behind series victory was a date with Springfield, the top team in the league, fresh off the bye. Grunthal stood up and met the challenge head on and finished the 98's in 6 games. Scoring and heart are two things the Red Wings excel in.

There is no love lost between the Wings and the Huskies and Grunthal knows it's going to be tough but they've shown they can thrive in any type of hockey game. The first two games being on the road won't bother the Wings who play well at the T.G Smith Center and have fans willing to travel showing support.
