The Female Midget AA Powertech Panthers were tops in the league during the regular season, and will now look to finish what they started heading into playoffs.

The Panthers won their final game of the regular season (5-2 over Parkland) to end the year with a 15-4-9 record. Their 39 points was one more than the second place Regina Capitals.

The Panthers allowed a league-low 48 goals in 28 games, an average of 1.7 goals against per game. Their +41 goal-differential was also the best in the SSFHL AA Midget Division.

The Panthers goalie tandem of Morgan Fayle (22 GP, 11 W, 1.77 GAA, .899 SV%) and Ayja Hegland (4 GP, 3 W, 1.25 GAA, .940 SV%) were the top teammates in the league.

Carlyle's Karli Colpitts (16) led the Panthers in SCORING, finishing with 14 goals and 27 points along with 72 PIM in 25 games.
