Round Two... The Waiting Game is Over
Here comes Round Two of the NWJHL Playoffs: The Semi-Finals
(1) Fort St. John vs. (4) Dawson Creek
The Skinny:
Having played just two games since the third of February the Huskies will look to shake the rust when host Game one of the NWJHL Semi-Finals Friday night. Their Opponent, the Dawson Creek Jr. Canucks have played seven games over that same time span and are fresh off their first round victory. The Canucks beat the Beaver Lodge Blades (3-1) in an opening round best of five series.
The Huskies win if...
They come out hungry, match or better the work ethic of the Canucks, and re-establish dominance at the North Peace Arena.
- The Dogs haven't played a meaningful game in over a month.
- The Huskies have an edge on talent... four of the top five scorers in the league are Huskies. Talent trumps a push on work ethic.
- The NPA was a safe haven for the Huskies in the regular season, they were undefeated at home until the final game of the season... vs. the DC Canucks!
The Canucks win if...
They can win a few games early in the series, can stop the Huskies top line and get the better goaltending in the series.
- The Canucks must take advantage of their recent play. DC is at playoff game speed and the Huskies have only practiced and played meaningless games in recent weeks.
- The trio of Horst, Novak and (Jeff) Shipton are leathal and must be stopped they have provided 98 of the 206 goals scored by the Huskies (48%). Stop the Top line and you have a chance.
- Alex Gauverau has put together a fantastic season. Gauverau has the best numbers of any non-Peace Air Navigator Goalie amid a roller-coaster season in DC.
(2) Grande Prairie vs. (3) Peace River
The Skinny:
Two teams with similar stories to the season. Slow starts left the Wheeler and the Navigators looking up at the Canucks, Vipers and Huskies for a substantial amount of time this season. Also, both teams are stingy on Defense. Peace River allowed a league best 104 GA while the Wheelers only allowed 122 GA, they are the top two defensive clubs in the league.
Both teams come into the playoffs playing their best hockey of the season. the Wheelers beat the Wolves (3-1) in the opening round, while the Navigators swept the reeling Vipers (3-0).
The Wheelers finished one point ahead of the Navigators in the final regular season standings, they went to OT in the final game of the regular season... expect this series to go the distance.

Huskies Highlights and Weekend Recap
The Huskies' magic number is down to three, after a win and a loss this past weekend. In layman's terms the Huskies need just 3 wins in their final 6 to clinch first place in the NWJHL and the all important bye that is awarded to the team with the best record in the league.
Friday the Dogs beat the Beaver Lodge Blades 7-5 with Bryce Novak racking up 6 assists in the win. Chris Jenkins was shaky in net to start the contest but stood tall when the game was on the line.
Saturday was a stiffer test against the Peace Air Navigators, a match up featuring the highest scoring team in the league in the Huskies and the stingiest D in the league that is the Peace Air Navigators. Special teams were a huge part of the game as the Huskies went 0/9 with the extra attacker while Peace River clicked for 3 PPG (though the official score sheet recorded just two). The final was 5-3 for the home town Navigators as they finally beat the Huskies in their 5th try.
Click here for a recap and game highlights (DO IT)!
Next up for the Huskies is a trip to Sexsmith on Friday (live on Moose FM), and then a chance for revenge against the Navigators as they visit the NPA on Saturday.
Sunday is the NWJHL ALL-STAR game in Fort St. John. It will be interesting to see if the top trio of Novak Horst and (Jeff) Shipton will all attend, all three are in the top 4 in points and goals scored in league play.

Blowouts Highlight Huskies' Superiority
22-4.
No, not Daniel Pappin from Andrew Payou. That's the cumulative score from Friday and Saturday's games at the North Peace Arena... In favour of the hometown Huskies, of course.
The 1st place sled-dogs made a statement this weekend with their 11-1 victory over the Beaver Lodge Blades and 11-3 win against the Slave Lake Wolves. The Huskies outshot their opponents 66-15 and 66-29, showcasing the talent gap between the top and bottom of the NWJHL Standings.
The Huskies now have a 14 point bulge on second place in the NWJHL, are undefeated in 15 games at home and have just a solitary loss in their past 14 contests.
With 8 games left in the regular season the Huskies are without question the class of the Northwest Junior Hockey League.
