It's a 'Pac' Playoff Double-Header this evening as the Conference Finals continue on two fronts.
First, the Richmond Sockeyes host the Delta Ice Hawks in game three of their best-of-seven series at 5:45 PM. The Sockeyes evened the Shaw Finals at one game apiece with a 3-2 come-back victory on Thursday night at home. The Ice Hawks had scored the first six goals of the series, including their 4-0 game one victory, before seeing their 2-0 lead evaporate in game two. After a cautious start to the series, the intensity really picked up last game.
Meanwhile, out in the Valley, the Mission Leisure Centre will act as home ice for the Aldergrove Kodiaks as they host the Abbotsford Pilots in game four of the Brittain Finals. The rivalry is building each game in what has been a fantastic series thus far. On Friday night, the Kodiaks took the series lead after a hard-fought double-overtime victory at MSA Arena, taking home ice advantage away from the Pilots. Abby will look to take it right back tonight. Game time in Mission is 8:30 PM.
Both series have been very entertaining, hard-hitting and extremely fast paced. Tonight, I expect that to continue as the teams battle for control. Pick a game and enjoy some great LIVE PLAYOFF hockey!
