Novice Playoffs
Novice Playoffs start this weekend (February 25 and 26) with a game on Saturday and another game on Sunday.  There is no practice this week.

Playoffs are a round robin format, each team will play each other team once.  At the end of the round robin:

  • The two teams finishing 1 & 2 will play for the Championship game on March 28 at 7:00 pm at Centennial Arena.
  • The two teams finishing 3 & 4 will play for the Consolation game on March 28 at 6:00 pm at Centennial Arena.
  • The two teams finishing 5 & 6 will play in the 5/6 game on April 2 at 7:45 am at the Westend Recreation Centre on Ice Pad 2. 

Round Robin Playoff Ties will be broken using the following formula:

  1. Total Points based on 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss
  2. Most wins in the Round Robin
  3. Head to head competition
  4. Goal average system will be used with the highest goal average resulting in the higher ranking (goals for divided by the sum of goals for and against) * see note
  5. Least goals
  6. Coin toss

*Note: maximum goal difference allowed is 5 goals. (Examples: 8-1 score would count as 6-1 or 10-0 would count as 5-0 for GAS formula)
