With only a handful of games left in the regular season, the Lloydminster Border Kings are heading into the playoffs on quite a hot streak.
The Border Kings extended the winning streak to five games with three more wins this past week, and the team is also unbeaten so far in 2012.
The Kings started the team's road swing with last Wednesday's 2–1 win over the Stony Plain Eagles. The team then carried that momentum into the weekend with a pair of wins over the Innisfail Eagles – earning a 4–0 victory on Saturday and a 7–2 win on Sunday.

The Lloydminster Border Kings blew a four-goal, third-period lead against the Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs on Sunday night at the Centennial Civic Centre, but Steve Da Silva saved the day, giving the Border Kings a 5-4 win.
The Border Kings built their lead in two spurts.
Brody Foster and Giffen Nyren scored 48 seconds apart to open the scoring midway through the first period.

Brett Hull and Kelly Chase are headlining the luncheon at the Raider Well Servicing 2012 Allan Cup this April in Lloydminster.
Hull will take fans on a trip down memory lane and Chase, who now does colour commentary on the St. Louis Blues’ radio broadcasts, will emcee the event.
“We want to make the Allan Cup something that people in Lloydminster remember for a long time,” said Allan Cup co-chairman Barry Gunn. “We’re trying to make this as big an event as we possibly can. Getting a couple of ex-NHL players and a hall-of-famer just adds credibility to the whole event and something people in Lloydminster don’t get to see very often.”
