Four teams remain in the playoffs in the North Peace Hockey League in the battle for the Campbell Cup as the league champions.
The opening round ended up being a short one. Three of the series (Manning over Valleyview, Spirit River over Grande Prairie and Dawson Creek over Fort St. John) ended up being sweeps with one series (Falher over Fox Creek) going just five games.
For the semi-final round, the divisions are crossing over. The number one seed in the East, the Manning Comets, are facing the number two seed in the West, the Spirit River Rangers. The other semi-final will have the Falher Pirates against the Dawson Creek Canucks.
