DAUPHIN, MB - For the first time since 2015 the Dauphin Kings and Waywayseecappo Wolverines meet in an MJHL playoff series.
Back then the series was a best-of-three survivor series, which Wayway won over Dauphin. The last time the Kings and Wolverines faced off in a best-of-seven set was in 2013 when Dauphin took down Waywayseecappo in six games. That year the Kings went on to the MJHL Final where they lost to the Steinbach Pistons in six games.
During this year's regular season the Kings and Wolverines split their meetings with each team winning three contests.
Tonight's game is sponsored by Fusion Credit Union. There will be a special award presentation before the game, then in the first intermission it's the M&M Food Market Express Puck Toss with the pot over $300.00!

TONIGHT'S MATCH UP
The journey begins for both the Kings and Wolverines tonight.
For Dauphin there is aspirations of a long playoff run that stretches well into April. For the Waywayseecappo Wolverines they hope to upset the West Division's top team after squeezing into the post season on the second to last day of the regular season.
If you take out the final weekend of the season the Dauphin Kings went 6-1 on their final seven games before the last weekend of the year. Impressive considering the club's depleted lineup at the time.
For the Wolverines, they finished the campaign with a record 5-2 in their last seven games.
