It was anything but a fairy-tale ending.
Unless it was penned by Stephen King.
Calgary Hitmen captain Colby Harmsworth couldn’t have envisioned ending his WHL career with a loss … that he watched from the stands.
“It wasn’t the way I imagined finishing my career,” said Harmsworth, who was forced to sit out Games 3-5 with a three-tilt suspension.
“But I had a couple of people, like (GM) Mike Moore, tell me that you can’t focus on that. You have to look at the good things that have happened over the four years.”
Harmsworth was one of three overagers who saw their junior careers end with the first-round loss to the Red Deer Rebels.
