If the LNAH playoffs started today, the following scenarios would apply.  Laval (1) vs Riviere-du-Loup (8):  There’s no more “potential” with this one. After the Petroliers locked up the number one spot last weekend, the 3L were ensured a last place finish with an overtime l

There are just 2 weekends remaining in the regular season. Laval has locked up the #1 spot, but with each team having 2-4 games remaining, every other position is still in play. If the LNAH playoffs started today, the following scenarios would apply.  Laval (1) vs Riviere-du-Loup (8):  Laval has sealed up the regular season championship. A lot would have to happen, including tie-breakers, to get Rivière-du-Loup out of the basement, so this pairing is all but a lock.  Saint-Ge

Laval got back on track, Saint-Georges is rolling and Quebec is sliding. There are just 3 weekends remaining in the regular season.

The LHSAAAQ is rolling into the final weekend of its regular season. It was a fantastic season in terms of the talent on the ice and the visibility and reach of the league with its new streaming partner.

The team that hoisted the cup last Spring had all the makings of a d

There are just 5 weekends remaining in the regular season. If the LNAH playoffs started today, the following scenarios would apply.  Laval (1) vs Riviere-du-Loup (8):  Nothing changes in the pairing, but the 3L’s upset of the Petroliers in Laval introduced the notion of another 1-vs-8 upset.  While Laval still has a stronghold on the #1 spot, Riviere-du-Loup’s efforts show they are capable of climbing out of the basement Saint-Hyacinthe (2) vs Sorel-Tracy (7):  The 2-vs-7 sce

There are just 6 weekends remaining in the regular season. If the LNAH playoffs started today, the following scenarios would apply.  Laval (1) vs Riviere du Loup (8):  After another 2-win weekend, the Petroliers are rapidly skating toward locking up the #1 spot. The 3L, however, were busy at the trade deadline and are 6 points from climbing out of the cellar.   Jonquiere (2) vs Sorel-Tracy (7):  The 2-vs-7 scenario remains the same. The Marquis are hot lately at 5-2 in the la

There are just 8 weekends remaining in the regular season. If the LNAH playoffs started today, the following scenarios would apply.  Laval (1) vs Riviere du Loup (8):  On paper this should be an even match, but in reality, it’s not. Laval has been the top dog all season while Riviere du Loup hasn't been able to get on track following their finals loss last Spring. It would be a classic matchup of size vs speed and physicality vs finesse.  Jonquiere (2) vs Sorel-Tracy (7):  Th
