In the team's opening series loss, Hamly tailed one goal and two assists, before following it up the next night with the game-opening goal in front of a home crowd.

 

Needing a third and deciding game, the Vikings would find themselves trailing 2-0 with less than three minutes on the clock. Hamly's late-game heroics and the Viking's relentlessness gave them the 3-2 overtime series win. With time ticking down, a failed clearance from the Trojans landed on Hamly's stick of a shot for the top of the circle that would find its way in with 1:53 remaining. However, it was his second goal of the afternoon that would earn him Athlete of the Week honours, picking up the game-tying goal, jumping on the loose puck in the slot to force overtime. The Vikings would go on to win thanks to a tip in front from Jake Gudjonson.

 

Hamly and the Vikings will face their central Alberta rivals, the RDP Kings this weekend in another best-of-three series starting Friday at 7 PM MST in Red Deer before returning home for Game 2 at Encana Arena for a 6 PM MST puck-drop.
