Holt and other Saskatchewan natives on Giants say they’re been hearing from family and friends about games there
The Prince Albert Raiders clinching a spot in the WHL championship clinched Dawson Holt’s phone going bonkers.
The Giants assured themselves a spot on Friday, finishing off the Western Conference finale in five games with a 3-2 win over the Spokane Chiefs. Because of that, Vancouver played 36 of its 68 regular-season games this season against the four other teams in the B.C. Division. It also means that in the last five years the Giants have played in Prince Albert just twice. They also played on the road twice against the Saskatoon Blades and Regina Pats, for instance.
The Raiders list capacity for the Art Hauser Centre at 3,299, including 708 standing-room spots. It is one of the smaller rinks in the WHL. The Giants and Royals have both lost just once on home ice through eight starts in their respective rinks in these playoffs. For the Raiders, it was a 4-3 overtime decision to Edmonton in Game 2 of the Eastern final.
