Press Release
The final playoff spot was sewn up last weekend with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks clinching fourth in the Interior and there was also some shuffling with West Kelowna overtaking Merritt for second.
Also, the Surrey Eagles take home the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy for finishing first overall in the league with 78 points from their 35-13-3-5 regular season record.

Higher-seeded teams host Games 1 and 2. Games 3 and 4 (if necessary, in the Mainland and Island Divisions) will be played in the lower-seeded team's arena:
