Saskatchewan led from start to finish, thanks to the return of Michael Sofillas. The standout forward hadn’t played since Feb. 3, marking his return with a 5-on-3 power play goal to open the scoring at 12:42 of the first period.

Carson Stadnyk knocked home a rebound halfway through the third period before Kohl Bauml would add an empty netter for the 4-1 win.
The only other conference remaining in the national championship is the Atlantic University Sport, as the other semifinal on Saturday will feature Atlantic powerhouses St. Fx and the University of New Brunswick.
