The 77\'s finished off their inaugural season with an impressive 22-15-6 record and are heading into the 2008-09 playoffs ready to go. Playing much better in the last month, the 77\'s look poised to make a statement in the first round. The red and black have drawn the Nipissing Alouettes with games 1 and 2 scheduled for Friday, Feb. 27 and Saturday, Feb. 28, in Sturgeon Falls, game times at 8pm.
The 77\'s will then welcome the Als to the Guthrie Arena for their scheduled home games on Sunday, March 1 @ 7pm and then followed by Monday, March 2, @ 530pm. Game 5, if necessary, will be back in Sturgeon Falls.
The 77\'s will need to play some excellent defensive hockey should they have any chance of shutting down the potent attack of Andre Leclaire, Robin Mendelsohn, David Tagvoryan and Artur Ketchedjian. The red and black\'s confidence is riding high after ending the season with some big victories and they are excited about the \'real\' season.
Just a reminder to all of you 77\'s fans, all children wearing their Oro Minor Hockey Jerseys will gain entry for free!! C\'mon out and get these guys into the second round.
