Niverville’s Novice A Clippers won the Eastman Championship in the deciding game on Monday, March 6 in Steinbach.

The Steinbach Millers had won the first game in the best-of-three series, beating Niverville handily on home ice. The final score was a lopsided 7–1. However, the Clippers battled back the following night at the Niverville Arena, winning 4–2 to tie the series.
In the final on Monday night, the Clippers turned in one of their best performances despite the grueling schedule, with three games in three days. The Clippers defeated their opponents 7–4.

It was a satisfying end to a season in which they lost only two games in league play all year, both to Steinbach.

The Eastman Novice A division, comprised of seven- and eight-year-old skaters, has 44 teams. Topping the league is a significant accomplishment.
