Mount Royal’s hockey teams will be competing in the Canada West playoffs in less than one week. But a lot is left on the line in the last weekend of regular season games.
For the men’s team, a chance to play a first round match-up at home is up for grabs. In order to get that favourable position though, the team will have to snap a six game losing streak as they take on Lethbridge this weekend.
The women’s team are not competing for a home playoff series, but are looking to finish the season strong with a first ever series win. If they get the double over Lethbridge, the women’s program will head into playoffs in 5th place. Something MRU’s graduating players have never done.
Wins this weekend will put some fire into the skates of the players heading in to playoffs. The puck will drop at 7pm tonight at home for the men’s team and away for the women’s.
