In BC, we now have clarification on the playoff series in the BCJALL. Both series will begin July 17.
There are some fun storylines to watch. Coquitlam is the heavy favourite, finishing the regular season with a record of 15-3. However, two of the three losses came at the hands of the 4th place Burnaby Lakers, who will look to continue that success in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Port Coquitlam secured a crucial win before the end of the season to secure their second spot, and avoid having to make 4 trips to the island.
Meanwhile, the strong season continues for the Victoria Shamrocks of the WLA, who have five more games remaining in their hunt for an undefeated regular season.
Alberta
