Cochrane's AC Avalanche fought to the last second of the Sutter Cup Playoffs.

The boys breezed through their first three games at the end of last week: beating Red Deer 4-0, SEAC 5-2 and CRAA Gold 6-3.

After a perfect round robin, the stage was a set for a do or die match in the Consolation Final against the CRAA Blue.

Despite a dramatic 30 save performance from Antoine Leclerc, the Avalanche were unable to net a goal in a 2-0 loss to CRAA on March 11th.
