CCHL 2017-18 Playoff field set! First round starts tomorrow!

The 2017-18 CCHL Regular Season is over! Congrats to the 12 teams that have earned the right to continue their seasons in our playoffs.

Let's take a closer look at our upcoming playoffs:

CANOSA CONFERENCE:

Conference Champion (Regular Season) 

Siberia Icecats - 117 points

1st round bye teams: 

Siberia #1 seed
Georgetown #2 seed

First round matchups:

Minnesota #6 seed @ Hamilton #3 seed
Springfield #5 seed @ Rejkjavik #4 seed

CORFIELD CONFERENCE:

CANOSA CONFERENCE:

Conference Champion (Regular Season) 

Calgary Chinook - 141 points

1st round bye teams: 

Calgary #1 seed
Fort Erie #2 seed

First round matchups:

Portland #6 seed @ Wisborg #3 seed
Niagara Falls #5 seed @ Halifax #4 seed

Random thoughts: There's just NO WAY to NOT view the Calgary Chinook as the prohibitive favorites this playoff year.

Most points, wins, goals for, fewest goals allowed, best power play, best penalty killing, fewest pims, league's leading scorer in Crosby, etc...

But, stuff happens - that's why we play the games...

If CGY can stay healthy, it's probably theirs to lose. But, should the Chinook fall, it's wide open as to who fills the void this year.

GOOD LUCK to all the playoff teams!
