The Dauphin Clippers were crowned 2nd Division Champions at the John Taylor Piper Classic tournament in Winnipeg this weekend with a 4-2 win over the Garden City Gophers.
The Clippers opened the tournament with a 6-1 loss to the Dakota Lancers, but were able to recover after the loss winning the rest of their way to the 2nd Div. final.
Saturday the Clippers finished second in their pool ending the round robin with a 4-3 shootout win over the Oak Park Raiders.
Later that day they met with the River East Kodiaks in their first playoff game where the Clippers needed extra time for the win once again, downing the Kodiaks in OT 2-1.
That paved the way for Sunday's appearance in the final against Garden City, where the Clippers win placed them 5th out of 12 teams.
