First One In

With the WHL playoffs a month away, teams are fighting for position, some for the top spot in their respective divisions while others are fighting just to get into the playoffs. One spot was clinched yesterday despite the team losing their game, as the Lethbridge Hurricanes were able to end their five-year playoff drought yesterday. Though they lost to Calgary 6-2, thanks to the Swift Current Broncos losing, the Hurricanes are playoff bound and it caps a remarkable turnaround from the previous two seasons in which they were the laughingstock of the league.

Currently, the Hurricanes hold a comfortable eight point lead on Red Deer for the Central Division crown and are just two points behind Kelowna for Scotty Munro Trophy contention, though the Victoria Royals are also in the hunt, as they are in between Kelowna and Lethbridge in the standings.
