Last Playoff Meeting

These two teams met in the Big Six quarterfinal just three seasons ago in 2014/15. That year, Carnduff swept Redvers in three straight games (4-2, 3-1, 6-1) before falling to the Wawota Flyers in the semi-final round.

Championship Drought

Both teams will look to bring a Big Six championship banner to their town for the first time in a while.

Carnduff last won a Big Six title in 2006/07, defeating the Carlyle Cougars in overtime of Game 7 that season. That remains the last year Carnduff has made the final round, with the Red Devils having won 10 league titles in team history.

Redvers last appeared in the championship final in 2008/09, bowing out in five games that season to the Midale Mustangs. Redvers and Oxbow are the only two teams in the Big Six (not counting Yellow Grass) to have never won a Big Six title in team history.
