The Carman U11 Gold hockey team secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Morden Gold on February 1, 2026, at the Morden Access Event Centre (Co-op Arena) in Morden, Manitoba. The win comes in the final stretch of the regular season and improves Carman’s position in the PVMHA Gold division standings ahead of regional playoffs.
While U11 games often produce higher scores, this matchup was a defensive battle. The TeamLinkt game sheet recorded a single goal and a shutout by the Carman goaltender at the Morden Access Event Centre.
This result matters for PVMHA seeding. Tie‑breakers in PVMHA typically use head‑to‑head results first, with Goals Against (fewest goals allowed) used as a subsequent tie‑breaker — a 1‑0 win improves Carman’s Goals Against metrics and can therefore influence seeding. According to the PVMHA League Info/Handbook, the team with the most points after league play is awarded the first home game in division playoffs; for provincial playdowns (regional/provincial tournament), the home team is determined by geography (easternmost team in odd years, westernmost team in even years).
For Carman families, a higher ranking can mean fewer long road trips for early playoff rounds and helps local volunteers plan arena and canteen shifts when more games are hosted at home.
