Neepawa Titans must overcome beasts of the east to secure playoffs

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

The Neepawa Titan’s path to the playoffs will take them through the most difficult portion of their MJHL regular season schedule.

Game results

Tiger Hills Hockey

With just 14 games remaining in the season, the Titans will play 11 times against clubs from the Eastern Division. It includes three match-ups against the current top team in the MJHL, the Steinbach Pistons, two versus the always difficult Portage Terriers and one final clash with the Winkler Flyers, who just recently won three straight games against Neepawa.

The rest of the eastern schedule is against the Winnipeg Blues (two games), Selkirk Steelers (two games) and Niverville Nighthawks (one game), who are all still vying for the fourth and final spot in the playoffs on that side of the bracket.

The only divisional games left are a pair versus
