The 2013-14 Prince Albert Mintos represent a spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, and perseverance. The Mintos earned the right to play in the Telus Cup after hosting and winning the Western Regional championship. They excelled at the Telus Cup tournament enroute to the championship game versus the Grenadiers de Châteauguay of Quebec. It was in that game that they made Telus Cup history.

On that remarkable Sunday, at Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw, the Mintos would play a back and forth game. Châteauguay opened the scoring, but the Mintos responded with two quick goals, heading into the first intermission with a 2-1 lead. The Grenadiers tied it in the second, only for the Mintos to restore the lead just before the period ended. With the Mintos minutes from victory, Châteauguay forced overtime with a power-play goal.

The game then headed into overtime, but one extra frame wasn’t enough for either team to solve the outstanding goaltending. The Minto’s Connor Ingram would end up with 60 saves in the game. It was Dakota Boutin who sealed the victory, scoring at 18:36 of the third overtime period; ending the longest game ever played in the tournament’s history, a staggering 108 minutes and 36 seconds of intense hockey.

In addition to Boutin’s goal, Carson Cayer found the back of the net twice, while Lance Yaremchuk scored once to help secure the 4-3 victory.
