The Host Dauphin Kings (4-0) face the La Ronge Ice Woles (1-3) in tonight's other semi-final. The winner of tonight's semi-final will advance to the RBC Cup final tomorrow afternoon vs the defending National Champion Vernon Vipers (4-1)Let's take a look at both Dauphin & La Ronge.
Dauphin Kings (4-0)
After a string of early playoff exits by past RBC Cup host teams –
Weyburn, Streetsville, Prince George and Cornwall in Round 1, Victoria in Round
2 – the Dauphin Kings did something no National Junior A Championship
host had done since the Grande Prairie Storm in 2004 – win their league
championship. The Kings were far and away the class of the Manitoba Junior
Hockey League during the regular season, winning 50 of 62 games and finishing
21 points clear of the Portage Terriers, the MJHL’s No. 2 team. The league-leading
offence was led by the line of Shane Luke, Ryan Dreger and Bryce Lamb, who
finished first, second and fourth, respectively, in the league scoring race, led by
Luke’s 101 points and Dreger’s 53 goals. The defence was just as impressive,
allowing a league-low 169 goals, backstopped by netminder Joe Caligiuri, who
posted the MJHL’s second-best goals against average, and 20-year-old captain
Steven Shamanski, who earned both the top defenceman and player of the year
awards in the Manitoba league. After cruising past Neepawa in the quarterfinals,
allowing just six goals in a four-game sweep, the Kings put on an offensive
show against Swan Valley in the semis, racking up 22 goals in the first three
games, including a 12-2 romp in Game 3 – led by two-point performances from
12 different players – before closing the Stampeders out in five games. The MJHL
final was a showdown between the two regular season conference champions,
with the Winnipeg Saints providing the opposition for the Kings. The Saints
entered the series even hotter than Dauphin, having swept past Winnipeg South
and Winkler to reach the championship series. Despite being a match-up of two
of the league’s highest scoring teams, the first and third games were defensive
struggles, with a 6-1 Dauphin win in Game 2 sandwiched between a pair of 1-0
overtime classics, both won by the Kings. With a chance to close out their first
league title in 17 years on home ice Dauphin did not disappoint, erasing a 4-0
second-period deficit and earning a 5-4 victory to sweep the Saints and advance
to the ANAVET Cup against the SJHL champions from La Ronge. After dropping
Game 1, the Kings tied Game 2 with three seconds to go before earning a
double-overtime victory to send the series back to Dauphin tied 1-1. Despite a
bout of food poisoning on the trip back to Manitoba, the Kings rattled off three
wins in a row on home ice to earn their second-ever ANAVET title, and roll into the
national championship with a regional crown under their belts.

La Ronge (1-3)
For the first time in their 12-year existence, the La Ronge Ice Wolves
will play for the National Junior A Championship after a shocking run to the
Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League title. The Ice Wolves entered the season
coming off of a last-place finish in 2008-09, when they won just 11 games, and
finished the 2009-10 regular season fourth in the Bauer Conference, seventh
of 12 SJHL teams. Doug Lindensmith (62 points) led an offensively-charged Ice
Wolves team that finished third in the SJHL in goal scoring, but had only a +15
goal differential thanks to a goals-against that ranked in the bottom third of
the league. La Ronge opened the playoffs by ending the reign of the Humboldt
Broncos, sweeping the 2008 national champions and 2009 national runners-up
in a best-of-five series, earning them a date with the Flin Flon Bombers, the Bauer
Conference’s regular season champions. A pair of one-goal wins in Flin Flon,
followed by an overtime triumph on home ice, gave the Ice Wolves a seemingly
insurmountable 3-0 series lead, and after back-to-back extra-time wins put the
Bombers within striking distance, the Ice Wolves wrapped up a surprising upset
with a 3-2 victory in Game 6. Next up were the Battlefords North Stars, and the
Ice Wolves again used overtime to their advantage, winning in the extra period in
Game 1 and Game 4 to go up 3-1 in the series, which they eventually finished
in six games. The SJHL final was one that no one would have predicted when
the playoffs began, as it matched up the Ice Wolves and the Yorkton Terriers, who
finished with the fewest points of any postseason-bound team, but pulled off a
trio of upsets to reach the final. With the RBC Cup host Dauphin Kings already
crowned MJHL champions, the winner of the final would have an automatic berth
to the National Junior A Championship as the West Region representative, giving
the championship series some added drama. Overtime was again the friend of
the Ice Wolves, as they took their first lead of the series with an OT win in Game
3 before clinching the franchise’s first SJHL title on Liam Brennan’s overtime
winner in Game 6, advancing to the ANAVET Cup against the Kings. Starting the
series on home ice, the Ice Wolves took Game 1 and came within three seconds
of a 2-0 series lead before the Kings earned a double-overtime win to even it at
1-1. Headed back to Dauphin, the Ice Wolves fell victim to a red-hot home team,
dropping three in a row to lose the series in five games. But despite not claiming
regional glory, a shot at a national championship still exists.
