ST. CATHARINES, Ont. -- Alex Nedeljkovic made 27 saves as Niagara edged Barrie to sweep the Eastern Conference final 4-0.
Stephen Harper, Johnathon Schaefer and Josh Welsey supplied the offence for the IceDogs, who are 12-1 in the post-season.
Justin Scott and Kody Gagnon scored for the Colts, who got a 26-save outing from Mackenzie Blackwood.
The IceDogs won the decisive game four 3-2.
"It's tough, to end the season the way we did - I'm proud of the guys on the team and the way we played," said Colts forward Kevin Labanc.
"We left our hearts out there - our game four was the best of the series for sure in my opinion," said Colts forward Justin Scott.
The Ontario Hockey League championship is now set. Niagara will play the Western Conference champion London Knights, who advanced after taking their series against the Erie Otters in four games.
