Hitmen crowned by Wheat Kings in first game of WHL Eastern Final

BRANDON — Mark French had obviously seen enough.

Most Calgary Hitmen fans probably felt the same way.

With his squad getting pumped 8-3 in the third period of an eventual 9-4 loss, the Hitmen bench boss blew his top on the bench.

He smashed a stick repeatedly on the boards before tossing it onto the ice.

After receiving the obligatory heave-ho, French stopped as he walked along the ice and got in a few verbal shots.

But he refused to discuss what — if there was just one specific incident — had set him off.
