Ice Hawks and Sockeyes in Highlighted Match-up


The top two teams in the Pac will face-off, tonight at Minoru Arena in Richmond, in this weeks most anticipated game. The Richmond Sockeyes, who lead the Shaw Conference by just two points, will try to defend their home turf against the second placed Delta Ice Hawks. It's always a fast, rough, playoff style game when these two rivals get together, and tonight we expect nothing different. This is the fifth of six meetings on the regular season schedule, but the teams haven't met since November 27. The season series is tied at two wins each, with the road team taking all four match-ups.


Meanwhile, in Mission, the Ridge Meadows Flames look to break a two game slide when they face the Mission City Outlaws. The Outlaws are looking to get over the hump, after playing some solid games the last few weeks, they just can't seem to get a result. They're hoping to end their losing streak tonight in front of their home fans. Ridge Meadows has been up and down over the second half of the season, but recently has served notice that they can win against the PJHL's top teams. They will look to get back on the winning side tonight, before their playoff preview game versus Aldergrove tomorrow evening.
