The last time the Lancers were this far was in 2014 when they lost to Dorchester in the 2014 SOJHL Championship. Game one of the series is set for Wednesday, March 7 at 8:30 PM in Lambeth.
The winner of the Yeck Division Championship will advance to the PJHL West Conference Championship against the winner of the Stobbs Division Championship. Let’s take a look at how these two teams matched up this year.
