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.

The other matchups have long been set in the Coastal divisions and now everything is is place for league-wide Game 1 action starting Friday, March 15.

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:
