After the EIHA decision to reverse Saturday’s 4-2 win into a 0-5 loss for the Wildcats, an appeal was launched to the EIHA by GM Steve Nell.

We have since been informed that our appeal was unsuccessful and the 0-5 loss on Saturday night will stand, and thus the Wildcats will not be taking up their place in the Regional Playoff Finals.

The club would like to again commend the players for the way they approached the game last night and the unbelievable way they performed on the ice considering the events of Sunday afternoon. They are a credit to the organisation.

Likewise, the fans that travelled to Peterborough last night and nearly witnessed something very special. You can be proud of the way the team battled this weekend, and with another cup final on the horizon it’s very important to remember the 2017/18 season is still far from over.
