Airdrie's Jordan McConnell and the Calgary Canucks won't be tasting playoff victory anymore this season.
The Junior A team lost game 4 last night (March 21) to Okotoks, officially eliminating them from the playoffs.
The Oilers will now move to face the number 1 ranked Brooks Bandits in the AJHL South Final, a team the Canucks beat twice this season.
