The PIJHL Abbotsford Pilots are the Keystone Cup Champs



What a two weeks for the Junior B Abbotsford Pilots. After winning the Cyclone Taylor Cup (BC Jnr B, Championship), the Pilots went on to capture the Western Jnr B championship(Keystone Cup) after defeating the Thunder Bay Northern Hawks in the final, in Sasakatoon.

Led by Brett Kolins, the Pilots won 4 and lost just 1 in the round robin play and then proceded to hammer Thunder Bay in the final 9-1.

With the cream of the Junior B crop competing in this years Keystone, teams from Whitecourt - Alberta, Thunder Bay - Northern Ont, Arborg - Manitoba, Pilot Bute Storm - Saskatchewan and the host Saskatoon Royals, the Pilots did themselves and their community proud.

Congratulations to Brett and the Pilots and what a feather in the cap to the Pilots, PIJHL and Junior B hockey in BC.
