And then there were four.
The Princeton Posse faces the Revelstoke Grizzlies in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) conference finals starting Friday, March 17.
Friday and Saturday, March 18 the action is at home, and then Princeton travels to Revelstoke Tuesday, March 21 and Wednesday, March 22 for games three and four of the series. If necessary, the home-ice advantage then bounces back and forth between the two centres.
It is only the second time in the franchise91裸聊视频檚 20-year history the Posse has advanced this far in the post season, noted head coach Mark Readman.
91裸聊视频淭here are only four teams left. It91裸聊视频檚 hard not to be happy about what we have done but I think, internally, we know we have more we can give.91裸聊视频�
Readman acknowledged Revelstoke is a formidable opponent. They were last year91裸聊视频檚 playoff champions and also won the cup in 2018-19. The intervening finals were cancelled due to COVID.
91裸聊视频淭hey are kind of the jealousy of the league. Really, they91裸聊视频檝e been one of the top dogs for, I want to say, seven years.91裸聊视频�
However, Readman is not selling his team as a dark horse.
On paper, there is little to choose between the clubs at present.
Princeton won the regular season, just one point ahead of Revelstoke.
In October, the Posse lost to the Grizzlies, 4-3 in a shoot-out, but won 5-3 against them in January. In both those meetings shots on goal were the same for both sides, 40 and 43 respectively.
91裸聊视频淏oth of those games were exceptional hockey,91裸聊视频� said Readman.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 expecting it to be a dog fight here for the next two-and-a-half weeks. I91裸聊视频檓 expecting some low-scoring hockey games, well fought.91裸聊视频�
The winner will be 91裸聊视频渨hichever team is willing to fight their way through. We are ready to go. This team has risen to the occasion multiple times during the regular season91裸聊视频t the end of the day we know it91裸聊视频檚 going to be hard and it91裸聊视频檚 going to be a grind.91裸聊视频�
