“I know how hard it is to win something like that and I thought about how hard I worked in the off season to get to this point, and it was pretty cool to see my hard work rewarded,” said Mortensen.

The Eagles shut out the Whitecourt Wolverines in a 2-0 win to even up the best-of-seven series at three and send it to a decisive Game 7 Tuesday.
