The Westman Wildcats traveled to Morden to face the Pembina Valley Hawks.  This was the first league game of the 2014-15 season for the Wildcats.

The Wildcats got out to a 2-0 lead in the 1st period on goals from Jaycee Magwood, unassisted and Andrea Sanderson (Ashton Bell, Jaycee Magwood).

The Wildcats extended their lead to 3-1 in the 3rd period when Jossa Danis buried a rebound (Ashton Bell).  Pembina Valley battled back to make it 3-2 as a shot from the point deflected off a Westman player into the corner of the net.  They tied it up on the powerplay with 12 seconds remaining on a goal off the rush.

In the 4 on 4 overtime, the Wildcats had to kill off a powerplay and Jaedon Cooke, coming off the bench to replace the player from the penalty box, picked up a pass from Kenzie Robinson in the neutral zone, beat the PV defenseman to the middle of the ice and fired a wrist shot through the legs of the PV goaltender to secure the victory.

Final shots on net were 33 to 16 in favour of the Wildcats.

Jenna Marshall picked up the victory in net.

The Westman Wildcats traveled to Melville on Saturday to face the Melville Praire Fire.  The Wildcats were without 4 regulars (Missy Hunt, Jaycee Magwood, Jaedon Cooke, and Ashton Bell) who were playing with Team Manitoba at the Mandi Schwartz Challenge.  The Wildcats were also missing both regular goaltenders due to injury and illness.  

After a slow start to the game, the Wildcats began to push the pace and took over territorial advantage of the game.  They were rewarded late in the period as Mackenzie Roach buried a one-timer shot off the post and in.  Mackenzie Meek and Jenna Patterson picked up the assists on the play. Shots on goal in the period were 10-6 in favour of Westman.

In the 2nd period, the Wildcats speed and puck movement were evident as they dominated the period.  Kenzie Robinson scored early on a high wrist shot to make it 2-0 with the assist going to Katie Crowe who made a nice pass up the middle to spring Robinson.  Shots on goal were 8-4 in favour of Westman.

The 3rd period saw Melville push throughout, but Westman held off the attack and kept all shots against to the outside and Katie Slator - in her first game ever with the Midget Wildcats - picked up the shutout.  Shots on goal in the period were 8-6 in favour of Melville.

Final shots on net were 24-18 in favour of Westman.
