With strong play over the past months, the Alberni Valley Bulldogs have secured a position in the BCHL?s Fred Page Cup playoffs for the first time since the 2006 ? 2007 season.
This season?s playoff format will see the top team in the BCHL?s Coastal Conference receive a first round bye, while the 8th place team at the end of regular season will miss the playoffs.
The Fred Page Cup playoffs are set to have the first round begin on Tuesday February 23rd, 2010. The first round matchups are based on the regular seasons final standings. The first round will see the 2nd seed vs 7th seed, 3rd seed vs 6th seed, and the 4th seeded team facing off against the 5th seed. All series in the Fred Page Cup playoffs are the best of seven. The top seeded teams in each series will have home ice advantage during Games 1,2,5*,7* (*if necessary) in each round. Teams will then be reseeded for round two, with the first placed team entering in as the top seed.
