The Ste. Anne Aces and Grunthal Red Wings will meet in the Carillon Senior Hockey League final.

Dylan Kelly scored twice and Brock Bram had four assists as Ste. Anne defeated the Red River Wild 6-2 Friday night in St. Jean.

Keith Grondin, Russell Trudeau, Danick Levesque and Brennan Ritchie also scored for the Aces who took the best-of-seven semifinal four games to two.

Tyler Pchajek and Cole Brunet replied for the Wild.

The Red Wings, who eliminated the Lac du Bonnet Blues in five games in the other semi, beat Ste. Anne four times and lost only once to the defending champions during the regular season schedule.

Game one of the best-of-seven final is set for Monday night in Grunthal.

The Aces are looking to become the first team to win three consecutive CSHL championships.

The Red Wings lost out to the Steinbach Huskies in the spring of 2015 in their only other appearance in the Carillon Senior Hockey League final.
