Okanagan-Shuswap Division have Only Meaningless Games Remaining
Even though every team that will be moving on to the 2nd round of the KIJHL playoffs there are still a few games to be played to finish the Okanagan-Shuswap Division double round robin marathon. With most teams playing 8 games in 11 days or less, this round has been extremely taxing on all teams.
The Revelstoke Grizzlies were eliminated from further contention last night with a 2-0 loss to the Chase Chiefs, which completes the 4 teams moving on. Kamloops will play Princeton (as they did last night) and Sicamous will do battle with the Chase Chiefs..
There were 2 upsets in the playoffs so far. The Kimberley Dynamiters took out the first place Creston Valley Thunder Cats in 6 games while Castlegar upset the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in 6 games.
The Nelson Leafs has moved on by easily eliminating Spokane 4 games to 1. They still remain the favorite to win the league. They will be battling with Castlegar for the Neil Murdoch Division final.
The Fernie Ghostriders are looking solid as usual at this time of year . They will play Kimberley in the Eddie Mountain Division final.
At the time of this writing the complete 2nd round schedule has yet to posted however most series are due to start Friday, Mar 6.

Kimberley beat Creston in 5 games not 6, and Castelgar finished higher in the standings than Beaver Valley, I dont know how you can call that an upset.
ReplyDeletethanx for your input... the 5 games rather than the 6 was a misprint on my part.
ReplyDeletethe upset comment is my personal opinion of which, like you, are entitled too.
