The Bentley Generals five year run as Senior AAA Provincial Champions could come to an end tonight. The Gens host the Horse Lake Chiefs, trailing their best-of-seven semifinal series three games to one. Game time in Bentley is set for 8:30pm. It would be quite a culture shock for the Generals and their fans (aka The Army) as this team has made of habit of extending their season well into April (playing in each of the last four Allan Cup championship games).

The Innisfail Eagles host Carstairs for game four of their Senior A/AA playoff series at 8pm. Carstairs leads the series three games to none.

The RDC Queens will also try to keep their season alive tonight when they visit Mount Royal. The Cougars lead the best-of-five ACAC semifinal two games to none.

Also tonight... Kings Basketball takes on Grant MacEwan at the ACAC Final Four at Mount Royal.
