The Shaw BCHL playoffs are set to go and once again this year the Chilliwack Chiefs face off against the Coquitlam Express.
The chase for the Fred Page Cup finally begins with Chilliwack up against the team’s Mainland Cup rivals in a rematch from last year’s first round series.
Finishing the season in fifth in the Coastal Division, the Chiefs head to fourth-place Coquitlam for game one in round one on Friday.
