WEEK 21 STARTS WITH A BANG

Week 21 begins tonight in Ladner, and it's a big rivalry game with playoff implications. The Delta Ice Hawks, who are hosting the North Delta Devils, are trying to pull to within two points of first placed Richmond, in their epic race for the Shaw Conference lead. It's been going on since the first weeks of the season, and is showing all the signs of going right down to the last game. A loss tonight, however, would make it very tough to get first place. They will be facing a very motivated opponent, as the Devils are in a third place tie with North Vancouver, and with four games remaining, they also can't afford to lose. These cross town rivals always put on a feisty performance, so with the added pressure of playoff positions on the line, it should be a great one tonight.
