As expected, sixth place Leaside Wildcats will meet 11th place London Devilettes in a preliminary best-of-five playoff round in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League. Play is set to begin in Leaside with the first two games at Leaside Gardens (labour conditions permitting) on Saturday March 5, and Sunday March 6, 2016. Further action will move to London for games on Friday and (if needed) Saturday. And if that play leaves the teams tied two games to two a fifth match will go Sunday, March 13, 2016 in Leaside. Here is the link showing all the preliminary match ups.
LABOUR NEGOTIATIONS
At post time CUPE Local 79 continues to negotiate although it looks bit as if the City has said there is nothing left to give. It is not likely there will be a strike but if there is, the home games may move to Mattamy Arena at the Ryerson Sports Centre at Carlton and Church Streets.
