The Swift Current Legionnaires opened up their Saskatchewan Male U18 AAA Hockey League regular season over the weekend with a pair of games in Prince Albert.

Saturday afternoon the host Mintos staked themselves to a 5-0 lead before the end of the second period and cruised to a 6-1 victory.

Second-year Legionnaire Eric Hoiness scored the lone Swift Current marker assisted by Kade Stringer and Zach Reeder.

A third-period powerplay goal by Prince Albert was the difference in the Sunday afternoon rematch as they skated to a 4-3 win.

The Legionnaires scored all three of their goals in the second period. One each from Eric Hoiness, Brendan Quinn-Lagria, and Wesley Olson.

Next up for 0-2 Swift Current is a matchup with the 1-1 Notre Dame Hounds in Wilcox on Saturday.
