The Killarney Shamrocks are 2011-2012 Tiger Hills Hockey League champions. Bryce Lamb and Cody Gross scored two goals each and Isaac Friesen had five assists as Killarney downed Carberry 7-2.

Mark Magwood, Jared McIntosh and Jayden Lamb also scored for the Shamrocks who took the best-of-seven final four games to one. Ryan Halliday and Dustin Fisher replied for the Plainsmen. Killarney led 2-0 after the first period and 5-1 after forty minutes.

The Shamrocks, who were making their first appearance in the final since losing out in four straight to the Gladstone Lakers in 2005-2006, dropped the series opener 6-5 in overtime to Carberry but then reeled off four straight wins to claim their first THHL championship. It's the second straight season that the Plainsmen have lost out in the final. Carberry was swept in four straight games by the Neepawa Farmers last year.
