The playoffs get underway tonight on home ice for both Muskie hockey teams.
The Muskie boys will host the Kenora Broncos in Game 1 of their best-of-three NorWOSSA semi-final at 7:30 p.m. at the ’52 Canadians Arena.
Fort High (14-1) finished atop the standings and are heavy favourites to oust the fourth-place Broncos (7-8) in a rematch of last year’s NorWOSSA final.
The Muskies have beat the Broncos in all three league meetings this season by a combined score of 27-2.
Game 2 goes Thursday in Kenora, with Game 3 (if necessary) back at the ’52 Canadians Arena on Saturday at 7:15 p.m.
The Muskie girls, meanwhile, will look to get the jump on the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints (Kenora) in their best-of-three NorWOSSA semi-final at 7:15 p.m. at the Ice For Kids Arena.
Fort High (9-3), which finished in second place behind the league-leading Dryden Eagles (12-0), outscored the third-place Saints 15-2 in sweeping their season series.
Game 2 goes Saturday in Kenora, with Game 3 (if necessary) on Sunday at 1:15 p.m. at the ’52 Canadians Arena.
