The Midget AA Lightning has moved on to the second round after sweeping the Lacombe Rockets in two games.

Game two is set for the Ron Ebbesen Arena at 7:15 p.m. on March 10, with game three, if necessary, set for March 11 in Strathmore.
The Bantam AA Lightning didn’t fare as well. The team dropped two straight games to the Wheatland Warriors in its second-round series and has been eliminated from the playoffs.
