Hurricanes gear up for first round playoff matchup with Rebels
LETHBRIDGE – It’s that time of year again.
After six seasons of misery and watching other WHL teams enjoy playoff hockey, the Lethbridge Hurricanes are making their second straight trip to the post-season.
Last year’s club entered the first round against the Regina Pats, having finished first in the Central Division and fourth overall in the league. Unfortunately, that didn’t mean much to Regina, as they cruised past Lethbridge in five games.
This year — despite the fact that the Hurricanes finished only one point higher in the standings (95) and second in the division to Medicine Hat — things feel different as they get set to take on the Red Deer Rebels.
