In photos: Warriors given fanfare of a lifetime en route to game seven in Saskatoon

Fans of the Moose Jaw Warriors hockey club gathered en masse along Main Street North to see the team off as they head to Saskatoon for the decisive game seven against the Saskatoon Blades on May 6

Fans of the Moose Jaw Warriors hockey club gathered en masse along Main Street North to see the team off in style as they head to Saskatoon for the decisive game seven against the Saskatoon Blades on May 6.

The idea for the once-in-a-lifetime fanfare came from John Iatridis, owner of The Mad Greek Restaurant, who made a pledge to turn Main Street into the "Runway to Victory" following the Warriors' thrilling overtime victory in game six one day earlier.

Escorted by members of the Moose Jaw Police Service and passing by fans who answered the call, the Moose Jaw Warriors travelled up Main Street to witness firsthand the support offered by their hometown.

When Iatridis put out the call, Moose Jaw delivered!

The decisive game seven to conclude this round of playoffs is set to take place Tuesday, May 7 at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon.
