The Swift Current Home Hardware were swept out of the second round of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League playoffs with a 4-3 loss in Wilcox Thursday.
The Notre Dame Hounds scored twice on a four-minute power play early in the third period to turn a 3-2 Swift Current lead into a 4-3 Hounds’ lead. Swift Current Broncos’ prospect Nolan Renwick scored twice for the Hounds, while Quinn Schmiemann and Ryker Evans also scored.
