The 2017/18 Big Six Hockey League regular season is in the books and after a 24-game schedule, grinding out games with limited rosters and injured players, it's time for the postseason.

Only the Arcola/Kisbey Combines will be on the outside looking in when playoffs start on Wednesday, as they finished in last place in the 9-team league and did not qualify.

This year's playoff will feature the familiar "1st through 8th" playoff system, with the top-seeded team playing the bottom-seeded team throughout the three playoff rounds.

The quarterfinal round will be a Best-of-3 series, the semi-final round a Best-of-5 series, and the championship final a Best-of-7 series.
