There was a script set-up for an up-set on Saturday evening in Irma as the undefeated first-place Tofield Satellites took on the last-place Irma Aces, and the underdog handed the visitor its first loss of the Battle River Hockey League (BRHL) season

“We were upset by a quick team that capitalized on their chances,” said Satellites Manager John Neufeld. “But we get them again next weekend.” The two teams clash in Tofield Saturday evening.

Tofield was missing some key players on the back end against Irma, including Greg Holmberg, Kevin Reinhold and Craig Neufeld.
