Ripley is coming off a four-game sweep of the Erin Outlaws, and have lost only twice all season, although one of those losses came at the hands of the Winterhawks in the regular season finale on January 25th.
It is likely to be a high-octane series, as the Winterhawks (100) and Wolves (114) were the only two teams in the OEHL to break the century mark in goals-for during the regular season.
Tickets will be $12 for adult admission in both Port Elgin and Ripley. 50-50 draws for Winterhawks home games support the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation every playoff game.
