It’s going to be a series to remember as the Lloydminster Bobcats head into the first round of AJHL playoff action against their old rivals, the Bonnyville Pontiacs.
Finishing third in the AJHL north standings, the ‘Yaks ended their regular season with a 36-21-2-1 record for 75 points and the ‘Cats finished up with a 23-34-1-2 record for 49 points.
On paper, the Pontiacs are the favourite, but if the Bobcats can continue playing like they have been throughout the month of February, it should be a great series.
Games 1 and 2 take place this weekend in Bonnyville before returning to the Border City for Game 3 on Tuesday and Game 3 on Wednesday at the Centennial Civic Centre. Puck drop for both games is at 7 p.m. Let’s pack the rink!
