TOP REGULAR SEASON TEAM – ST. ALBERT SLASH
In the first season of the new Alberta Female Hockey League, it was the St. Albert Slash who stood alone at the top. The Slash ran away from the other five teams, winning 27 of 30 games and finishing with a massive 26-point cushion over second-place Rocky Mountain, the defending Alberta champions and Esso Cup bronze medallists. St. Albert showed from the first drop of the puck it was going to be the team to beat; the Slash posted three shutouts in their first four games, didn’t taste defeat until their 14th game, and didn’t fall in regulation time until game No. 19 on Jan. 13. Unsurprisingly, St. Albert led the AFHL at both ends of the ice, scoring 119 goals (30 more than any other team), while allowing just 44.
