Except for, perhaps, the one in a couple of weeks.
The Brandon Wheat Kings superstar single-handedly took apart the Rebels in Game 5, scoring a hat-trick as part of a five-point night in a series-clinching 5-2 win.
John Quenneville and Kale Clague also scored for the Wheaties, who punched their ticket to the WHL championship series for the second straight spring and the eighth time in franchise history.
They’ll battle the Seattle Thunderbirds for the Ed Chynoweth Cup.
