Klippers - Hounds

Klippers now with some time off before we lace up for what should be an amazing series between Kindersley and NotreDame.

During the regular season these two teams split the series at 3 games a piece, with NotreDame finishing the regular season with a record of 32-20-2-4 giving them 70 points and a 2nd place finish in the Sherwood, while the Klippers finished just two points behind in 3rd place with a record of 31-21-3-3. On paper these two teams are almost a mirror image of each other finishing in the stats how they did on the season usually one behind the other. The only big difference that comes up is the shots for and against as NotreDame is the lowest in both categories but finished the season with just as many goals as the Klippers with 178. Even the power rankings have the two side by side with the Klippers in 5th and the Hounds in 6th.

But the big difference maybe how the teams finished the year. The hounds struggled in the last stretch sporting a record of 2-6-1-0 through the month of February, starting the month with a string of losses continuing over from January which totalled 8 straight losses. While the Klippers finished the last month with a record of 6-5, carrying a 5 game winning streak over from January. Although the season series is split between the teams the Klippers have won the last two match ups, with the Hounds last win against the Klippers coming on January 22nd, the weekend before NotreDame would start their 8 game losing streak. Both teams did take a loss in their last match ups and will be eager to come out on all cylinders as the race for the Credit Union Cup starts. All I can say is it will be a great series, with my prediction being the Klippers in 6.
