It’ll be the battle of the capital as the Ottawa Ice and Gloucester Devils face off in the National Ringette League playoffs on Mar. 4-5 with a spot in the nationals on the line. The 16-6-2 Ice won all four regular season contests over the 13-9-2 Devils this year.
It was Gloucester that downed Ottawa however at last year’s nationals en route to a silver medal (with the Ice claiming bronze), though only one will get the chance to compete in this year’s finals tournament.
Game 1 is on Mar. 4 at noon at Carleton University, Game 2 goes at 11 a.m. on Mar. 5 at Bell Arena, with a possible deciding game set for 4 p.m. at Jim Peplinski Arena if needed.
