To win an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League championship, a team needs to win four rounds in the playoffs. The Renfrew Timberwolves have taken the first step, dusting off the Pontiac Juniors in six games.
After battling tooth-and-nail to split the first four games of the bestof-seven Valley Division semifinal series, the Wolves pulled away with 7-2 and 8-2 wins in games five and six over the weekend. They now await the outcome of the Stittsville-Arnprior series. See WOLVES, page 35
