The South division champions get set to face the Bisons in the second round of the HJHL Playoffs, starting Friday with Game 1 at the Kinplex, for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

It’s been a painful route in the playoffs for Medicine Hat. They lost to the Bisons in six games in 2021-22 and were swept in 2022-23 by Okotoks. They lost in four games last season to the Bisons, who then lost to the Sylvan Lake Wranglers in the HJHL finals.
