Notes

Late in the third period of the round robin game between Bentley and Rosetown, the Generals were leading 1-0 with less than a minute to play. Generals goalie Dan Bakala shot the puck the length of the ice into an empty net to score a goal. It is unknown if this rare event is the first in Allan Cup history.
