The experience of the Winnipeg Ice was too much for the young Regina Pats at the Brandt Centre on Saturday afternoon.
The Pats lost 5-2 to the Ice, dropping their second in a row and bringing their record down to 4-6-2.
Head Coach Dave Struch says the Pats’ youth got exposed against a veteran Winnipeg team.
“We couldn’t handle their 12 high-end forwards , and that’s in a nut shell really,” Struch said. “We know that we want to get the puck in deep against these guys, take advantage of their young defencemen, and (Saturday) there was not enough of that from our young guys.”
