Games took place Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Provost arena and some also held at the Chauvin arena.
The Provost Blades who were both host and Zone 7 representative lost out in the semi-finals in overtime to the Daysland-Forestburg Thunderstars who wound up with the silver medal.
In the opening round robin play on Friday it was the Kainai Hawks beating the Athabasca Hawks 3 to 2; High Level lost to the Provost Blades 7 to 4; Mallaig Monarchs played in Chauvin against the Calmar Cobras beating them 11 to 2; Daysland/ Forestburg Thunderstars beat Didsbury Ramblers 4 to 3; High Level played Athabasca and beat them 8 to 3; Provost beat Kainai 9 to 2.

The Mallaig team then took out High Level 12 to 6.
The final game was between Mallaig and Daysland-Forestburg with Mallaig earning the provincial “C” championship of 2008 with a score of 5 to 0.
At the end of the Provost Minor Hockey-organized tournament the Mallaig team, which hails from north eastern Alberta was also presented with “Play Smart Award.” The award was made with several considerations including: team officials providing equal opportunities to every member of their team regardless of the situation; limited number of “unsportsmanlike” type penalties assessed. (i.e. abuse of officials, checking from behind, check to the head, major or match penalties, etc.); team participates with safety as a consideration; team, coaches and parents show respect to and for the opponents, themselves, tournament and event officials, host community (accommodations, arena staff, etc.); host committee volunteers and the general public.
