Despite the heartbreaking loss, bringing home the silver was a great achievement for the team, noted team coach Craig Minard.

“The team went from only winning two games last year to being second in the province this year,” he said.

Scoring for Yarmouth in the championship game were Matt Harris and Dylan Landry. In net was Morgan Chenel, who was the keeper for all of Yarmouth’s games at provincials. There were two 10-minute overtime halves in the title game before a shootout was needed to determine the winner.  

The game MVP for Yarmouth was Maxime Bertrand. Tournament MVP was Jared Minard.

The provincials were held in Stellarton. In Yarmouth’s first game of the round robin the Clippers defeated a strong Fundy United team from Amherst 3-2. Scoring for Yarmouth were Alex Wells and Ethan Doucette.

In their third round robin game, a 6-1 victory over Halifax advanced the Clippers to the championship final. Scoring for Yarmouth in the third round robin game were 
Dylan Landry with four goals, 
Jared Minard and Alex Wells.
