In the B side final the Dryden Tigers paced by a strong offensive weekend from Carter Langlais, Emmerson Moir and Carter Trach defeated the Red Lake Rams 8-3.
Continuing a theme throughout the weekend the Dryden Tigers got outstanding goaltending from Karstin Boss.
The Dryden Marlies ended up round robin play 2-1 backstopped by their keeper Andrew Ross.
Tyler Kowalchuk and Brody Jonassen each scored three goals in round robin play pacing the Marlies.
